10TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY
BRAND NEW LOCATION
1101 Hwy 28
We have moved, we are a couple of miles closer to El Paso, still on Hwy. 28, right next to Zin Valle Winery, and across the Alpaca farm. We will continue to provide the same quality of service, and improve where we need to. This new location, in time will allow us to make some changes to bring about a better and more consistent service to our loyal customers. So stop by and check us out!
WHAT IS THE MAZE?
Many people in El Paso and the surrounding communities have been coming to "experience" the Maze every year for the last nine years. For those who have not had the opportunity; we would like to tell them all about it. The Maze is a 15 acre field of sorghum that has grown 12-15 feet tall, where a specific design has been carved out and turned into a gigantic, lush green labyrinth. Here people come to get lost, find their way out, run, hide, play, or stroll hand in hand with that special person. The Maze is an outdoor activity that people of all ages enjoy every fall, and it has become a destination point and a tradition for many families This event gives folks the chance to get out of the city and venture out to our beautiful upper valley and spend a half a day, afternoon, or evening out in the open, breathing fresh country air. People walk the Maze, or sit under our big tent enjoying fresh roasted corn, while they watch the little ones play in our giant sand box, or slide in our tube slide. Kids are also amused by the rabbits and goats, and have great time watching them do their antics. This clean, family oriented farm environment attracts thousands of people every autumn. They come for many reasons: the Maze of course is the main attractions, but there is more! They also come to ride our tractor- pulled wagon to the pumpkin patch to choose that perfect pumpkin, to buy fresh farm grown chilies of all types, to race the pedal cars around the Maze track, or to ride our famously dusty cow train; a real hoot for kids and adults. There is something for everyone at The Maze, the kids have the best time running thru the Maze, and adults love eating the corn and figuring out the Maze map before they go in. So put on your "ugly" but comfortable shoes, grab you sun hat, get the kids in the car, and come to be entertained, challenged, and amazed at La Union's 10th annual Maze- Hope to see you there!!!
Maze Activities:
Saturday and Sunday only ... from opening 'til dusk! Enjoy a Hayride around the farm. Try your luck at shooting the Ball Cannon. Kids (and kids at heart) can race around in our Pedal Cars. And all ages will enjoy the Cow Train!
As you prepare to go into the Maze you will have brief orientation and be given a map. Use the map on the first half to get your confidence up, but on the second half, keep the map in your pocket and just 'Get Lost'! You will experience family and friend bonding that we are really lacking in these high tech days!
Bring the whole family. Come with your church group. Make the Cornfield Maze a scouting event. Or just come out and enjoy the maze with all of the other folks who are getting lost and having fun!
Worried about getting lost permanently?
We have Corn Cops at each of the observation bridges, and more Corn Cops (in special costumes that make them easily recognizable!) floating around the Maze.
Worried about safety after dusk?
We contract the services of 5-8 police officers from the local sheriff's department on any given night.
New Policy: To avoid standing on line, please if at all possible, collect ahead of time and designate a person to pay for everybody. We take cash or credit cards. This will save an enormous amount of time waiting in line.
