Over the weekend, I took my girls (twin 2 year olds) to The Maize in the City for some fall family fun and, of course, to pick out our pumpkins. The Maizie in the City was refreshingly low-key, authentically country, and less crowded than other fall festivals I have been to that were over produced and very crowded.

The site includes the Crazed Corn Maze, a mini maze, a pumpkin field, hayrides, pony rides and a petting zoo, and a jumping castle and air slide, among other attractions for the whole family. The Crazed Corn Maze is a 20-acre maze that is fun for all ages. While visitors navigate their way through the cornfield, they are invited to engage in the one-of-a-kind smart phone trivia game. Choose a category or enter unique questions; each correct answer provides directions to next check point. The mini maze is a smaller maze perfect for young children. With paper checkpoints, children will collect hole punches as they navigate through the maze.

Admission to the pumpkin field and other kid-friendly attractions is free.Hayrides, pony rides, petty zoo, jumping castle, air slide and other attractions are open on selected weekend dates in October. Please visit the website for exact dates.
