Last weekend for annual Maybury Farm Corn Maze

One of the most popular attractions of autumn will end this weekend at Maybury Farm in Northville.

The annual Corn Maze at the farm will welcome the last visitors of the season this Sunday. This year, the 9-acre maze, newly-designed by the Ford Volunteer Corp., also includes a scavenger hunt, and there is a 1-acre Mini Maze for those less adventurous members of the family.

Walking the entire 10-acre maze should take about an hour, Maybury officials said, while the mini maze can be completed in about 20 minutes.

For those seeking more of a challenge, the maze will remain open until 9 p.m. tomorrow and Saturday, with the last wagon-ride leaving an hour before closing. That allows the bravest to attempt to traverse the maze in the dark. The maze will be open until 7 p.m. on Sunday with the last wagon ride of the season leaving at 6 p.m.

The Maybury Farm General Store will also be open offering fresh cider and donuts, along with other treats available to purchase.  

The Maybury Farm Corn Maze is open from 6-9 p.m. on Friday, from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. on Saturday and from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Sunday. 

Admission to the corn maze is $13 per person and includes a tractor-drawn wagon ride out to the maze. The last wagon ride leaves one-hour before closing each day. 

Children younger than 2 are admitted at no cost with an adult paid admission. 

Maybury Farm is operated by the Northville Community Foundation. This fundraiser helps raise funds to feed the animals and support the work of the farm. It is the mission of the farm to connect the community to animals and agriculture. 

Maybury Farm will be following all COVID guidelines in place. Currently, masks are not required but recommended. Visitors can check the website for safety procedure information updates.

Maybury Farm is located at 50165 Eight Mile Road in Northville. To learn more about autumn activities at the farm, visit www.mayburyfarm.org.
