A Maze of an Adventure!

Filed Under (Seasonal Adventures) by Dave

Are you ready to get lost in the largest corn maze in the world and enjoy a fall adventure? If so, then head to Benson Farms located in Denton, Nebraska.  The corn maze, which by the way, is on 42.6 acres is simply amazing (no pun intended) and can definitely be listed in the great adventure category!  This is, after all, advertised as the largest corn maze in the United States! Once you enter this gigantic maze, be prepared to spend at least one hour (if not more) trying to find your way out! For those of you that enjoy being scared, you must visit the maze after dark on designated Fright Nights.  Personally, running through a corn maze at midnight as ugly creatures chase me isn’t too appealing; however, Fright Night is very popular and always crowded (be prepared to stand in line for at least 30 minutes, sometimes longer!).   Fright Night is recommended for children 12 and up and of course, parental guidance is suggested.

There are several rules that must be followed when trying to navigate your way through the maze. You must always stay on the designated pathways. Cutting through the cornstalks would be cheating and would also hurt the corn (and you, as well!). There is absolutely NO SMOKING of any kind at Benson Farms.  As you can probably imagine, dry corn and cigarettes really don’t make a good combination.  Also, there is to be no picking or throwing of the corn! If you are not kind to the corn, be prepared to be shown the barn door. Finally, don’t use foul language. Being lost in a corn maze for over an hour can be very frustrating, however, it is important that you keep your language clean. After all, corn has very sensitive ears. 

While getting lost between corn stalks is a lot of fun, there are many other exciting things to do at Benson Farms. Bring your family and partake in the many adventures that the farm has to offer! There are large bales of hay for children to climb on, educational farm displays, hay rides, the hay jump, corn box (think of a ball pit but filled with corn instead of balls), photo opportunity signs, a mini maze for young children, and of course, great food!

So what are you waiting for! Take advantage of the beautiful fall weather and head to Benson Farms for a maze of an adventure! Now go get lost!
