‘Hot Tips’ for Bonfires!

• All bonfire guests must purchase a farm activity wristband (day) or ticket (night corn maze or Haunted Forest).
• The bonfire space is rented for up to 3.75 hours. Available times: 10am-1:45pm, 2:15pm-6pm, and 6:15pm-10pm.
• We provide wood, picnic table, benches and roasting sticks.
• With bonfire rentals, guests have the option of carrying in their own food and beverages (non-alcoholic).

14-acres of U-Pick Pumpkins

Take a wagon ride to the pumpkin patch to choose your own -or- come to the Country Store, where we have a large selection available. Our pumpkin patch is always a fall highlight for folks visiting Schuster’s Farm in Dane County, Wisconsin!

8-acre Corn Maze

It’s an aMAZEing adventure by day or night in Dane County, Wisconsin.

This year the maze celebrates 75 years of Peanuts! Some celebrate fall with Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Linus, and Lucy!

As you go through the maze, we hope you can reminisce about old memories made on the farm and create new ones. Thank you for being a part of our farming legacy.
-Theresa, Don, Sarah, & Mitchell

The maze is divided into phases that will accommodate all age groups. The small maze is just the right challenge for the young crowd and provides the perfect controlled maze experience. The LARGE maze consists of two phases so our directionally-challenged guests may take a break or “regroup” mid-way through the maze. Right turns, wrong turns and U-turns, keep going until you find your way out!

Corn Maze Rules

• Stay on the Paths — no cutting through, or you will get nabbed by the corn cops
• Speed limit 2 mph — no running
• No Picking, Shucking, Collecting, or Throwing Corn
• No Alcohol — rule applies to visitors age 99 and younger
• Cigarettes and corn stalks are a bad combination, so — No Smoking
• No Bad Language — our corn has very tender ears
• We do not allow anyone under 14 in the maze without an adult. All youth groups must have an adult chaperone for every group that enters the maze.

Tacos, Nachos, and Soft Pretzel served from 4pm-7:30pm on Fridays (cold sandwiches and snacks are available during the day Friday), 11am-7:30pm on Saturdays and 11am-5:30pm on Sundays.
