Utah Corn Mazes

You have to love corn mazes if you live in Utah.  And if you have elementary aged kids, you have to go to one each October.  There are LOTS of local corn mazes to choose from.  We wanted to go to one last Saturday, so we looked up the information on three.

First, there is Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point.  It costs $11.00 whether you are a kid or adult.  For that price, you get to do a ton of different activities, but you feel like you have to stay for all of the activities to get your money's worth.  To see all of the activities, go to  www.cornbellys.com.  If you want to go to that corn maze, I recommend starting at a Costa Vida restaurant to get two for one coupons.  Their coupons are good Tuesday to Thursday.

The next corn maze we checked out virtually was at Hee Haw Farms.  They have a large corn maze, animals, a kiddie maze, food, and pony rides.  It costs $6.00 for kids under 12 and $8.00 for anyone over 12 for all of the activities.  It looked very fun for older kids and even teenagers would probably like the corn maze there.

Since we were only going with our immediate family, we decided that we didn't need that big of a corn maze.  So, we went to Pumpkinland!  It's just off I-15 at the Vineyard Nursery.  It cost $3.00 per person.  For $3.00, you might not expect much.  But I would highly recommend this corn maze to families with children younger than 8.  Our boys had a great time.  They went down every path in the corn maze in about 1/2 hour.  And that included stopping to read all of the jokes.

Then we saw all of the animals, including chickens, rabbits, and goats.

Next, they played on the inflatable slides (which are only for kids under 8).   

Now, you might think that was all that was there, but if you keep heading down the path, there is also a large playground with swings and slides.  And you know we love playgrounds!

Finally, you can't miss the "Light Alley."  It's just a large shed with all sorts of holiday lights set up inside it.  But the kids think it's very cool.

There isn't any food at the nursery, but you can buy pumpkins and squash of all sorts.  They have some trees and plants left over from this summer.  Also, they have a huge selection of tulip and daffodil bulbs.  It's a tradition for us to plant lots of bulbs each fall, so we chose some purple and peach tulips for our backyard.
