Get lost: Find a corn maze
It’s fall. It’s got to be done. Get thee to a corn maze! If you’re anything like me, expect a small anxiety attack at imagining yourself hopelessly trapped at closing time. Just have faith that a child will lead you out, if you can keep up. Call ahead for hours and dates of operation — many are open through October, weather permitting. Here’s a small sampling:
Davis Farmland and Mega Maze
145 Redstone Hill, Sterling
978-422-8888
The mother of all corn mazes, with bridges. This year’s theme: the Olympic Games.
Ward’s Berry Farm
614 South Main Street, Sharon
781-784-6939
The huge hay pyramid kids can climb is as popular as the corn maze.
Honey Pot Hill Orchards
144 Sudbury Road, Stow
978-562-5666
A hedge (not corn) maze.
Parlee’s Farm
135 Pine Hill Road, Chelmsford
978-256-2859
Maze open on weekends only. Call for dates of ‘haunted’ flashlight nights in October through the 7-acre labryinth.
Sauchuk Farm
53 Palmer Road (Route 58), Plympton
781-585-1522
Roaming guides will help you not get lost. Afterwards, there's free face-painting for the kids.
