8-acre Corn Maze

8-acre Corn Maze

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

2025 Corn Maze: Celebrating the UW Women’s Hockey National Champions

This year marks our 32nd season, and we’re celebrating champions in a big way! Our 2025 corn maze honors the UW Women’s Hockey Team, fresh off their National Championship victory.

The design? Bucky Badger himself shooting a puck into the net with the words: “UW Women’s Hockey is THE G.O.A.T.”

Why Women’s Hockey?

We’re four proud Badger alumni, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate a program that has brought so much pride to Wisconsin. Each fall we welcome many campus groups out to the farm, and this season we can’t wait for fellow Badgers to “find their way through Bucky.”

When Can You Visit?

✨ First look: Corn Crawl (21+ event) – Saturday, September 13
🌾 Fall Season: September 20 – Halloween

Giving Back

This year we’re also highlighting Agape Ranch, a new nonprofit founded by Mark and Leslie Johnson. The organization will provide equine and ranch-based opportunities to help nurture children, strengthen families, and build community.

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!
