Corn Maze at Old McDonald’s Farm Opens

Old McDonald’s Farm in Sackets Harbor will open its annual corn maze, and kick off pumpkin season, on Saturday, Sept 12, from 10 am to 6 pm, at 14369 County Route 145.

Enjoy some of your favorite fall activities at Old McDonald’s Farm this September and October. Get lost in the farm’s 14-acre corn maze, which this year is themed “Cheers to 40 Years,” with a festive cow image. You’ll find a small maze near the entrance that’s specifically designed for younger visitors with a special challenge sure to tickle the funny bone. That small maze leads kids through the “OMF” letters of the full maze.

For the more adventurous and energetic visitors, the full maze offers a more challenging foray through the corn fields, requiring a good sense of direction and a bit of word-smithing. Old McDonald’s Farm uses GPS and Precision Farming software and equipment to create the maze design and drop corn seeds exactly where they need to be in the spring to be ready for visitors in the fall.

Admission is $15.95 per person for ages 2 and up, and pumpkins are available for an additional charge, depending on their size. In September and October, Old McDonald’s Farm is open to the public Wednesdays through Sundays, from 10 am to 5 pm (until 6 pm on Saturdays).
