The Applestem Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch near Craig is ready for the 2024 season, with opening day scheduled for Saturday, September 14; it will be open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through October 27.
It's an agriculture-themed outdoor recreational attraction and farm with a 10-acre corn maze and other activities for kids of all ages and families to enjoy.
Hours of operation are Saturdays from 1pm to 9pm; Sundays from 1pm to 6pm; and Fridays (starting September 20) from 5pm to 9pm.
They note on their website that due to recent rain, things might still be a little wet for opening weekend, so they recommend wearing "shoes you don't love."
From the website: "Hop on the Grain Train or Ride the Cow Train! Take the plunge down Hay Mountain on our Tube Slide -- bet ya can’t go just once! Dig around in the Corn Box, and try your hand at Steer Head Roping. There’s a sandbox and an old-fashioned Hay Jump! We have Rubber Duck Races ... and Spider Webs to explore! Old-time hand pumps send our little ducks racing down the chute."
The corn maze this year celebrates the 125th birthday of iconic American author Ernest Hemingway.
Pumpkin prices start at $1 and go up depending on the size and variety. There is no entry fee to visit the Pumpkin Patch.
Tickets are $11 for ages 5 and up; children age 4 and under are free.
