Fairytale Corn Maze Crusade

Fairytale Corn Maze Crusade

Once upon a time, in a corn maze not too far away, the Fairytale Villains escaped Fairytale Land to take over a new land in Ontario. They took with them the only thing powerful enough to send them back: The Sword in the Stone.

This season at Buzzing Bees Adventure Farm, hidden within our 10 acre corn maze are 8 different villains, each with a unique puzzle to solve. If you can solve all 8 puzzles and find your way out of the maze, you can try your hand at removing the Sword from the Stone to wield it's power and send the villains back to Fairytale Land.

Along with our marquee corn maze and in-maze game, our farm includes a number of other family friendly activities like peddle karts, elastic band shooting range, toddler playground, slides, sandbox, field games and more. Our rabbits and chickens will also be out to visit. We have fresh popped kettle corn, and our own maple syrup, honey, jam and of course lots of pumpkins.

Cost is $9 per person with children under 2 years old free with an adult

Open Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays from September 13th until October 31st
