Road Trip! Corn Maze!

This weekend we took a road trip to Clinton NC. They have a corn maze/ festival out there! They had a lot of cool stuff to do for kids. They also have a haunted corn maze for older kids and adults but we didn't stay for that.



We got there a few minutes before they opened. There was a small crowd of people who showed up early like us. We purchased the unlimited play pass for the kids and the general admission plus maze pass for the adults.

Me and my wrist band!


We opted to do some family photos with the great displays around first.

All the kids!

All the kids!

Madison and Anthony!

We let the kids play for a little while before doing the maze. They did the slide that had the burlap sacks to slide down on.

Then the kids bounced on the monster jump pillow.




After that they talked me into tickets for the laser tag. Only a couple of the play areas were pay per play. The kids have wanted to play laser tag for a while so I let them :) They split the kids up boys against girls (unfair) but the girls had numbers on their side. In the end the boys triumphed! 

Madison got out lol

The boys won!

The smaller kids wanted to ride the barrel train. They had a lot of fun!



They had this hill that the kids could play on with ropes to climb up. This was a big hit with the kids. Every time the kids disappeared I found them on that hill lol




Finally we did the maze, which was so much fun! They have three different mazes. The first one is a kid maze. It's almost impossible to get lost in this one. They give you a game card and they have clues along the maze. There are also check points that the kids stick their fingers in for different colors. The little ones had fun coloring their fingers!





The second and third maze sections were part of a bigger game card. You have to find all the check points where they have different shaped hole punches. Half in the second maze and the other half in the third. Did I mention that the maze looks like a dinosaur from above?


If you collect all the check points then you get to ring the bell and enter into a give away for awesome prizes! My kids did these with us but the younger kids played in the play ares with the other adults. 

I think this was one point where I was briefly lost.


I was the navigator and we found ALL of the check points! I am waiting for my call for my prize!

My finished card!

Before we headed home we took a quick tour on the hay ride.


Then we decided to stop for some Applebee's on the way home. 



I had so much fun! It was a nice little getaway and a great excuse to get out of the house to have some fun! I am so happy that we were able to go and take the kids! 

Here is a link to the website for more info if you are local to me. I believe this goes on past Halloween! So if you get a chance you still have a couple of weeks to get down there!
