A pretty weekend day in October? What to do and where to go? How about getting lost – lost as in a corn maze and Liberty Mills Farm in Somerset has a good one.
Last year, we took our two Atlanta grandkids to Liberty Farm and bought tickets to a difficult maze. If I had not dropped shiny white pebbles behind me (a la Hansel and Gretel) we’d still be out there. This year, they say, it’s an even more complicated and confusing corn maze.
The theme this fall is Alice and Wonderland described this way by the owners: “Although we are Virginia’s Largest Corn Maze, 25 acres, we divide our maze into four (4) separate trails. The first trail takes about 30 minutes to find all our story stations and navigate the paths. Our medium level maze offers great trivia (hint: you may want to re-read “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” prior to your visit!!) and navigation challenges and takes approximately 45 minutes to one hour to complete. Our third level? It may take you 2-3 hours, but the satisfaction of finding all 21 hole punches and finding your way out is absolutely farmtastic! The fourth level is the labyrinth at the top of the maze. No maps here to guide you, you are on your own!”
The maze ticket allows you to complete one or all four maze trails. All maze times are approximate as it depends on your strategy, sense of adventure and size of your group! Our 2015 Maze is open from September 12-November 7. The hay wagon rides and full activity areas are now opened.
Weekend ticket prices are $12 per person for daytime maze admission and flashlight maze admission for ages 5-12. Flashlight maze admission is $14 per person ages 13 and up. Weekday ticket prices are $10 per person. Ages 4 and under are always free for the maze.
