It’s not truly fall until you visit one of the many farms in the area and enjoy all that the season has to offer. We planned a trip to Richardson Farm to experience the world’s largest corn maze. Before we left, I got on the web and checked out their site. I was impressed. The web site was colorful and full of information. We began our journey at 3:00pm that afternoon.
When we arrived at Richardson Farm, we were greeted by very friendly staff members and given an overview of the farm and maps for our visit. We started at the huge and awesome corn maze. It’s big, a total of 11 miles long! The maze separated into four smaller mazes that all connect together. When we arrived we were given a map of the maze with a punch card on the bottom. There are 24 locations inside the maze that have paper punches, find them, fill your card all and get a prize! I wish we would have had enough time to get through the entire maze; the kids really had fun finding the “treasure”! I was impressed with the corn maze, easy to navigate yet challenging enough to keep you interested. The paths were family friendly, wide and smooth enough for a wagon. The staff also had flash lights and light sticks available for after dark ventures. The farm is open very late, some nights until 2:00am! 
After the corn maze we made our way over to the tower in the middle of the farm. The tower was a lot of fun, the stairs were easy to climb and the view is spectacular. We could see the entire corn maze and farm. We then tried out the children’s soybean maze. It is a maze in a soybean field. The kids had a blast chasing each other and racing to the finish.
Next to the tower is a barn where you get a drink and a snack. We all had some chips, hotdogs and a soda. The kids played on the rows of pumpkins while the adults had a much needed rest! We then tried out the giant tube slide and go-carts. It was difficult to tell the kids it was time to leave; they had a great time.
We really enjoyed our visit to Richardson Farm. In fact, I had to promise my kids that we could return before the season ended! One tip for your visit - plan to spend an entire day, you won’t be disappointed!
