Visit Richardson World's Largest Corn Maze for a fun and educational fall field trip.
Our expectation is to educate through entertainment.

Be greeted at the busses upon arrival
Learn about different aspects of farming and agritourism
Enjoy fun activities such as our 50' long tube slide, 50' tall observation tower, pedal carts and room to run around
Eat lunch in our beautiful, wooded picnic area if you wish
Learn and get lost (and found again!) in our corn maze
* For an additional charge students will:
Have the opportunity to enjoy a 35 minute educational wagon ride. Each wagon holds up to about 50 people
Learn about growing Christmas trees, how plants grow, agriculture and the environment
*While enjoying our farm, students will be able to:
Work on improving team building skills
Improve map reading skills
Use critical thinking skills
Learn interactively in our "quiz maze".
(A small section of the giant maze that takes about 15 minutes to complete.) You may use our question sheets - agriculture or federal election process
- or email us your questions that coordinate with current curriculum. We'll type them into our quiz maze format and email them back to you for making
copies. Then, your students will use those questions to navigate the quiz maze. Please ask about this opportunity.
Prices:
$7.00 per student for the corn maze, picnic site and activities - teachers, chaperones and bus drivers are free
$8.00 per student for the above plus the educational wagon ride
We ask that you have your students separated into groups of 4-6 students per group for navigating the maze.
This insures that each student will have a better opportunity to be a valuable contributing member.
Talk to the students in advance about sharing the decision making or switching the leadership after each checkpoint.
Each group should have an adult chaperone.
