One of my favorite local events in Meridian, Idaho AND can’t wait for every year besides football… is the Farmstead Corn Maze and Pumpkin Festival. If it were up to me it would called Awesome Family Fun – mazes, pumpkin patch, pony rides, pig racing, hay rides, photo opportunity, good food + so much more!
Ok, seriously, this is a great family destination and something we all look forward to every year. “Kids” of all ages come and if you really liked to be scared make sure you come when you can do the Field of Screams! (Open at dark on Fri & Saturdays)
For most folks this is a family tradition and one I wouldn’t miss year after year. There is such a warm and friendly sense of community when you arrive. It is a whole lot of fun.
Be sure to check out the Donut Shack - they have the BEST donuts of the season here and always have some fun flavor of the day! Maple mini's with bacon bits anyone?
Some fun facts about this corn maize:
* 18 acres of corn
* It takes the average person 45 min- one hour to make their way thru the maize. (But there is a short path too for the little ones)
* The corn is harvested after the season for cattle feed.
