Questions About the Corn Maze
How long does it take to get through the maze?
The corn maze is on 8 acres (3.2 hectares) and consists of many twists and turns. Groups will take longer than individuals and everyone is welcome to go at their own pace. The maze can take anywhere from half an hour to an hour to wend your way through.
How much does it cost?
Adults ages 13 and older cost $10 to enter the maze. Children aged 6-12 years are $8, as well as seniors (60+). Kids under six years old are free.
What should I wear to the corn maze?
Weather in the Pacific Northwest can change at the drop of a hat, so bring a rain jacket, just in case. Also, even on a warm day, the ground may be wet from previous rain or from watering the corn. Sturdy shoes that can get dirty are recommended. There is no shade in the maze, so it’s a good idea to wear a hat on sunny days and don’t forget the sunscreen.
Located on Sauvie Island, a rural escape just 13 miles (21 km) north of downtown Portland, the Corn Maize offers visitors eight acres (3 hectares) of exciting twists and turns. But it’s not all about getting lost in nature; Two 16-foot (5 m) observation bridges provide picturesque panoramas with great views of the island and Mount Hood, as well as the maze itself.
Every year, the cornfield is carved with a different pattern, and the design is always sure to stump maze-goers while delighting fans of public art. Starting at the end of August, the maze is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and stays open until 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays in October (and on select days leading up to Halloween). Check out their website for more details.
In addition to the corn maze, guests can take a trip on a hayride out to the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin or pet farm animals and make a new feathery friend at the Big Red Barn. Not in the mood to traipse out into the pumpkin field? Explore the gift shop or have a relaxing lunch in the cafe. The family farm has activities to delight any visitor.
