To answer the obvious question, I went here because I was already attending an event in Chilliwack, and had a 2 for 1 coupon.
A corn maze, at night, in Chilliwack, in pouring rain, away from a pub on a Saturday night might not sound like something I, or anyone would want to pay for, but I can only say one thing: A-'MAIZE'-ing. This was too much fun. And the rain and darkness made it even better. The entire maze was a muddy slop, 6 inches deep in some places. Luckily I brought my rain boots, but those boots, and my jeans were covered in mud well above the knees.
There are two mazes to choose from. They estimate that one takes 45 minutes and the other takes 15 minutes, and that's pretty spot-on for timing.
In each maze, there are clues along the way which present you with a left or right option at a series of skill-testing questions at strategic forks in the path.
Throughout the maze, dead-end corners, neverending roundabouts and invisible voices from mere feet away lead you into a disorienting adventure.
The scale of it is hard to comprehend when you're in it, but look at it in Google Maps, or on their website, and you'll notice the clever pattern, a message, and logo carved into it. Hint: It's all for a good cause. Better still, wait until after you've completed it and then find out how much ground you've covered around this farmland.
Get dirty! It's fun! If you have kids, they'll love the pedal-cart track, petting barn, giant jumping pillow, hay bale maze and an upstairs hockey rink/basketball court in the barn called the NHL (National Hayloft League). When all was done, I was soaked, muddy and grinning from ear to ear. I only wished they had roasted corn on the cob or something to end the experience right.
