You and your kids can try your luck navigating the 9 acre corn maze, ride the 21 seat cow train, visit their hydroponic garden and learn all about it, visit the pumpkin patch and the country store and buy some homemade jam, and fresh honey, eggs and more! Treat yourself, and visit the grill and savor the famous homemade smoked barbecue sandwich personally prepared for you by Eddie Conner the owner himself! The kids 4 and under can play in the Kiddie Korral, while the kids 5 and older can race around the track with giant pedal go-karts, jump and climb in the hay jump, dive in the corn kernel pool, slide down the giant tube slide, and more! Everyone will enjoy visiting the barn where they have goats, pigs, cow, horse, donkey, and lots of chickens! We saw some chickens laying eggs, and Bryan got the chance to hold a baby chicken! The Tractor pulled hayride, takes your family on a tour of the back through the cow pastures and more. Field trips and special groups, birthday parties, and corporate events are very popular and can be reserved in advance on their website or by phone. This facility can handle very large groups of people at one time. For teachers they have an online curriculum that you can download to help supplement your experience here. Fall Season begins in October and every weekend has a special event, like Old Fashioned Day, where they teach kids how to make butter, spin yarn, make a broom, paint with berry juice, make candles, and soap and more. They also have Redneck Olympics Day, Kids Count Day, and on Halloween, they have a Fall Festival, country style! Pie eating contests, sack races, apple bobbing, pumpkin tossing, and a chili contest! In November, they host a Talent Show and Barn Dance! This sounds like So Much FUN!!!
Today Bryan picked a real ear of corn off of a real corn stalk, peeled it, and took a bite right in the field. This experience was priceless. We learned the names of the part of the corn plant, and how you know when a corn plant is ripe. This is the type of educational experience you can share with your family when you visit Conner's A-maize-ing Acres! This family owned and operated farm has a heart for kids and their families, and to share with you the healthy understanding of where your food comes from, and how it is made. I encourage everyone from many miles around to come see for yourselves what a blessing they are to the entire community!
