2020 Maze tribute
Steven W.

Looking for something you can do to stay as far away as possible from others and still have a ton of fun in the era of COVID? Look no further than this amazing corn maze. Sitting up above the tiny little town of North Danville, with incredible views of the Vermont countryside is one of the coolest (not temperature-wise!) attractions in the NEK. Mike and Dana put on one helluva spectacle every year as their creativity turns into hours of enjoyment (or frustration) hiking through one of the best maize mazes you'll ever find. Under non-COVID circumstances, this place was an absolute gem, with a kids play area and barnyard golf. A family with young-uns could spend literally hours up here and have a blast. Unfortunately, COVID has changed things a bit, but not the enjoyment of this unique treasure of the Northeast. Mike and Dana have done an amazing job setting things up right to limit exposures, provide a safe and fun environment and still challenge your brains as many of you have never been challenged before. This year, especially, is a year at the Maze I will never forget. My wife and I are both healthcare workers, just part of a huge network of people who are considered essential workers and who this country quite frankly could not have survived without this year. Our trip to Vermont was supposed to be pure vacation this year, but things changed. Thankfully, we were able to grab some respite this morning and hit the maze and keep up the annual tradition. To our pleasure and surprise, the maze this year is dedicated to us and those like us, the essential workers that kept this world turning. I hope the owners don't mind, but I shared the center portion of the maze here, not as a spoiler, but to show the truly amazing tribute they created this year. Talking with them, it was heartfelt, and it meant a lot. For those of you Great Vermont Maze rookies out there, you have a couple of options. First, you can attempt the main maze itself, with its hundreds of turns and double-backs, you better pack a daypack with plenty of water and snacks, because this isn't some simple maze you are going to solve in 45 minutes. If you have never mazed before, you may want to clear the rest of your day. For the experienced, I hear it can be done in under an hour, but there are a lot of fish tails up here (mine included.) Ideally, you are looking at 1.5-3 hours to solve. Too much time you say? Afraid you will loose your kids attention span because the corn doesn't beep or boop or have an emoticon? No worries, the Scenic Maze if for you. at a leisurely pace, we finished that route with the kids in about 20-30 minutes and there were a bunch of cool things to see along the way. I chuckled at another review when they expressed their dismay at their being no clues. Umm... its a maze. That like asking to jump on a golf cart to finish a marathon. Really? Well, for those of you who really feel you need a clue (yes, that's me with the side-look and snort right about now), the staff have graciously placed hints in the bear trap area. You just have to get there first! So shake off those COVID blues and PUT DOWN THE COVID SNACKS already. Get off the couch, get in your car and drive up to Wheelock road and get your maze on. You won't regret it. Grab some souvenirs (this year's shirt is awesome) and come more than once and help out this amazing family who have tirelessly put together this national treasure since 2000! If you are a healthcare or essential worker, get up here and check out this amazing tribute to YOU! While you are at it, pick up some grass-fed beef while you are there- much better for you than those cheese puffs that are all over your face right now. And don't forget, bring your mask! Thank you Mike and Dana for another amazing year of the maze. If we could stay longer we would be back several more times!!!

Start of the corn maze

In the middle of nowhere, near Danville Vermont, is a quirky few hour activity than which you probably won't forget if you manage to find your way to it. [HINT: use their website map not your GPS] They also say they require internet reservations due to COVID but we were able to walk up the day we visited (Saturday/August). The Great Vermont Corn Maze is a HUGE corn maze that is not for of the faint of heart. Think of it as an interesting hike - through seemingly endless rows of corn with frequent breakouts into meadows overlooking the surrounding rolling hills. And don't forget the person-sized plastic figurines (dragons, mythical creatures) found around various corners and enmeshed in the maze itself. You don't get these on a regular hike. We opted for the shorter 'scenic' version which took us about 45 minutes. You get to take shortcuts through cleverly placed brown doors. The upshot is that you get to see all of the cooler stuff but without having to tromp around for several hours. It is a great option if you are in the area -- but it is a real hike of sorts. The scenic route is about 1.3 miles and if you solve it for real easily several miles with modest up/down. Come with plenty of water, hat, and sunscreen. We saw lots of kids doing this with their parents but probably not a lot of fun with truly young kids unless you have the baby backpack gear. There is an awesome playground with live goats at the end of the maze that would be perfect for the younger set.

The amazing great Vermont corn maze!

My hubby and I drove out to Danville last week as part of our tour of the NEK for Staycation 2012 (sick critter = cancelling Maine trip and having Staycation instead). I had always wanted to go to what is touted as the best corn maze in Vermont and it did NOT disappoint! The people who run this wonderful maze were VERY friendly and we were quite impressed at how well-organized it was. They have special exits for the kids as well as emergency exits in case you have a fussy toddler, need a bathroom break, or are on the verge of corn-y mental breakdown. There were also a couple of people stationed throughout the maze, on the lookout for anyone in distress or looking for a tip to escape. We chose to forgo the tips and they respected that, calling in closer the people who wanted clues. My husband wasn't so sure about the act of walking through corn for 2 hours but even he was impressed and loved the challenge of it. It took an hour and a half for us to complete it (average is 1 1/2 - 2 hours) and seeing the aerial view of the maze afterwards was a treat. So impressive! Bring water and a snack in a backpack - you will need it! We will happily do this in future years - Gorgeous setting, lovely people, fun and challenging.... a truly great Vermont activity!

At the entrance!

This is an absolutely astounding place. The amount of work they put in to make the maze is incredible. There are a lot of kid friendly activities like a mini town, farmers golf, and goats you can visit and pet. The goats each have their own little bio and name on a plaque near the entrance! The maze takes quite some time unless you get really lucky with which way you choose to go. With that in mind I would suggest you wear some comfy shoes that are good to hike in. The owners are very friendly and wait at certain spots in the maze to give you hints if you need them. The maze each year is different and they shape it to some kind of theme. At the end of the maze you get to see an aerial shot of what you just walked through. I won't ruin what the maze was this year, so you'll have to go and check it out yourself!

Beginning the journey into the belly of the beast!

The great Vermont corn maze is the first corn maze we have actually been to in the New England territory. Go big or go home is what we always think being from Texas! The only bad thing about going here first is now I am afraid all that come behind this corn maze will be let downs in comparison!!! To say this maze is a true maze is an understatement! It was an absolute blast! The fun begins by choosing your path to start! There are three stones to find along the way and then good luck finding the exit lol. We got the stones within the hour and then got lost trying to find the exit and had a blast for another 2 hours in the maze going in circles. Well worth the visit. True artist and creative mind that makes the design every year and what's more he stands on one of the bridges and offers help or encouragement along the way. This was a blast and would love to go back anytime!

Spoiler alert: expect to see some great views while you're there.

Probably the best excuse I ever had to travel East of Montpelier (DISCLAIMER: I am a total flatlander so bear with me). Although it changes annually, I'd like to avoid spoilers here. I'll only say that as you wander through the path, randomly or planned (or maybe even while using one of those "cheat sheet" postcards they sell at the store), it's a great way to get a nice view of a fairly hilly terrain that offers some beautiful scenery. Great way to travel and when you're done ringing that bell of victory (that's the only spoiler you're getting from me!), you can relax savoring one of the most picturesque scenes you could get around here (REMINDER: total flatlander) before walking around goats and chickens. Only thing that took me off guard was the surprising lack of VT-themed things. They sell popcorn, sodas, and candy but not much beyond that; no artisanal sandwiches, no fresh-squeezed lemonade, maple-themed goods or the like. There was a stand selling jams and jellies, though. Personally? After a long walk for a few hours (or if you're like me, a couple), they might get good business if they convince someone to set up a grill and sell hamburgers and hot dogs to enjoy while taking in the scenery. Just a thought!

Love it here. Free…read morecompletely free - no admission fee, no parking fee. Very friendly people. Small business vibes. Follow your maps and once you cross the bridge they have tons of signs to direct you, hard to get lost. Trust they're hours, we showed up in the pouring rain and they're still open 9am-5pm weekdays. As soon as you walk in you'll get free samples. We sampled 5 cheeses and 2 grades of maple syrup - it sells itself. One cheese is made with unpasteurized milk - others include sharp cheddar, sage, smoked. Convinced me to try traveling home with cheese for the first time. Tons of products available for sell including from other farms as well. I recommend picking up some of the Red Kite Candy caramels they have there. If you liked it as much as me their factory is about a 30 min drive away. Other activities include petting animals (not in winter), walking trail, and self guided tour of their maple house. Wasn't able to do the trail in the rain but I would estimate you can do all of this in 2 hours. Not at all like Billings Farm if you're concerned about going to both or only have time for one. Billings has an admission fee, no samples of milk or cheese though the make both. More of a museum but they do have up close interactions with their cows (even in winter) for the kids, butter churning, candle dipping. Recommend Billing for taking kids on homesteading field trip, Sugarbush a quick stop for foodie/charcuterie person IMPORTANT: They do NOT sell sugarbush products at any of the stores in Woodstock so don't plan to buy more later and have regrets like us - we looked in every store and couldn't find it. Not sure about Quechee though. Products can also be ordered online and shipped

I'm a cheese head…read more So when my friend was making our itinerary for a trip to VT, I was really excited to try this place! Weather got a little hariy getting there with the slushy roads, but we made it! It's pretty remote location with no street lights, so if driving in the dark look for the signs to get there and trust your GPS. There's a large parking lot across from the entrance to the little store/shop. The shop is actually the owners old family home I belive. We arrived pretty much at closing time, but we were still welcomed warmly. We got a cheese & maple syrup tasting which was yum and informative, and the staff member that did it was really nice, I forgot her name, but see photo below. One of the cheeses has won a cheese competition, very cool. We also got to meet the owner, but she was busy getting Christmas orders together. I perused all of the cheeses I wanted and settled on 4. We got to try 2 out of the 4 from the cheese sampling. The nice lady that checked me out even gave me some nice to-go samples as well. The smoked cheese was my fav, and the sage. But I enjoyed them all. I was able to easily fly home to TX with them due to the cold weather of the season. After the tasting, we got to peruse the store. They have so much other stuff to buy in additon to cheese and maple, tons of knick-knacks and gifts and merch. We didn't get to explore the farm after since it was pitch black when we left, too bad. Enjoy!

They also have a nice bakery (got fresh bread there for lunch to go with the cheddar) and syrups/jams/goods from local farms.

I actually drove an hour out of my way just to get this maple creemee -- I had visited a few years ago and had been dreaming about it ever since. Thankfully, it did not disappoint. The maple creemee was incredible -- unbelievably delicious, rich, and perfectly creamy with an authentic maple flavor that completely lives up to the hype. Easily one of the best maple treats you'll find anywhere. The maple syrup tasting was both informative and fun. The staff did a fantastic job explaining the different syrup grades and flavor profiles, and it was fascinating to taste how much they vary. Everything felt fresh, high-quality, and clearly made with care. The grounds themselves are beautiful, especially in winter. With a deep blanket of snow covering the landscape, the farm felt peaceful, scenic, and exactly what you hope for when visiting Vermont in February.
