She answered every question they had and it was overall, a great experience! She takes a donation for her time and it is well worth it.

Mike's Maze is located in scenic Sunderland, MA... a combination aerially discernible image and…read morecorn maze is crafted here each season with the apparent running theme of 'awesome' - Mike's has featured constructs from Albert Einstein to Julia Child... this year saw patrons getting delightedly turned around amid a reproduction of Odysseus and Polyphemus "An Odyssey in Corn"... After a brief introduction (stay on the path, keep up with your kids, etc) you are given a fistful of tokens, a score-sheet/rough map and a tall colored flag (in case you have an inner ear problem and get fully lost) and are set loose into the field... You then get to navigate your way through the maze, making your first decision as soon as you have taken a few steps inside... every so often you will stumble upon a mini-game that you can buy into utilizing one of your tokens, once complete you will get an official check to your score-sheet... should you complete all the games in one go there's a special (not so special, mind you) prize for you at the end... The mini-games are as fun as they are variable... previous years have seen a tomato trebuchet, a potato cannon, a water puzzle, an archery event... the list goes on... all extremely silly good times... At turns you'll come across little kids excitedly arguing about which turn is the correct one, grandparents calling for their wards, hipsters moving quickly away from each other as they cease their extremely public display of affection at your arrival and even a few 50 something married couples in the same state... there's just something about Warner Farm that brings out the happy in folk... When you've gotten tired of getting lost, have chapped lips from canoodling or have mastered the maze you head back to the main tent and collect your goodies - different from year to year but they always manage to be keepsakes that elicit a smile... In addition to the greatness of the maze pony and hay cart rides are on site for the kids beginning in October... They are closed for the season in November... when you're done with Mike's head to Sugarloaf Frostee for a bite and get to the top of Sugarloaf itself... the maze is a sight to behold from that far above... Go here and make delightful memories for you and yours...

Cons: muddy area where ride on toys are, not cleaned off after rain, big sign saying kids shouldn't run or yell??

I'm sure in spring through fall it's better but December you need to bundle up! Wear boots or old shoes for mud. We will try maybe again in spring and hopefully the smoky smell issue will be resolved because that is inappropriate for the public and a turn off.

The alpacas and all the other animals (peacocks, turkeys, doggos) are all loved and well taken care of. Elaine is kind, patient and interested in the folks that visit her.

I am so glad to get the experience of meeting lots of these beautiful animals in these farm. Woodland meadow farm is a working farm. The owners breed alpacas for business. They started with only 3 alpacas and now after 11 years of operation, they have 73 total of different mixed breeds. It is a huge farm that can accommodate all the animals daily activities. Alpacas are adorable, charming and friendly. As per understanding, alpacas are raised basically for their luxurious and expensive fibers. It is being sell per pound to turn into hats, scarves, blankets , sweaters etc. If at once you received an item made of alpacas fiber, it is said to be a precious possession that lasts years time. They are scheduled to be sheered once a year. During our visit, the owner let me dip my finger how much deep one alpaca fiber has , about 4 inches deep. Cool! We witnessed the love of the owners to these creatures , an inspiration to reckon with. Being said , who knows, I maybe farming these wonderful creatures in the future or may get one as pet. We learned a lot about alpacas from the owners during this visit. The farm is worth visiting if you have the love for these animals. Come visit the farm and get to experience a unique enchantment.
