It’s Corn Maze Time!

If you’re a fan of corn mazes, we have some aMAZing options for you!

Cottonwood Farms is one of our fall favorites.  A hay bale maze for the little ones, corn maze for the braver, pumpkins galore, hay rides and more!

Anderson Farms in Erie puts on quite the fall event including Terror in the Corn haunted hayrode and ghost town after dark.  For those not interested in the frightful possibilities, the maze is open during daylight hours and is very family friendly!

Rock Creek Farm, (Hwy 287 between Lafayette & Broomfield) also has a corn maze, pick your own pumpkins, and meet some farm animals.
