Maze
Get lost... in our maze
Get Your Kicks At Rader Family Farms from September 4th – November 1st, (Wed – Sun and Columbus Day) and come check out our A-MAZE-ING corn maze! This year’s maze honors the centennial of U.S. Route 66, weaving together movement, memory and the deep agricultural roots that have sustained the journey. At Rader Family Farms, the 12-acre corn maze becomes more than a design. It becomes a living story; one you don’t just look at, but walk through. Our 12-acre corn maze features the ability to access a digital map on your phone, allowing you to see your location within the maze. Don’t miss our Flashlight Night Maze on Saturday, September 19th, October 3rd and October 24th from 6:30pm-9pm.
