Fall Means: Sever's Corn Maze!

I was thinking about how much I do really love Fall, but then I got to thinking, I just really love all the seasons! Every season has something that I absolutely love! When Fall comes around, I love the cooler weather that we start to get here in Minnesota! No more 90 degree days with 70 degree dewpoints! We can turn off the air conditioner and open the windows! I also love the changing of the leaves and all the fresh apples!

Another thing I love about Fall is a relatively new tradition for my sister and me: the Sever's Corn Maze!





My sister and I first went to the corn maze in 2006 and had a great time! I think we meant to go again the year after that, but time and/or other situations got in the way. The one day, my sister brought up the idea of going again! I had such a fun time the last time I was there, so I was very excited to go again!

There's a new theme to the corn maze every year and this year the theme was the Minnesota Vikings!





There's a lot of stuff to see and do at the Sever's Corn Maze. Not only is there the corn maze itself, but they have a smaller maze made of hay bales. They also have a pet zoo, a good amount of food, and a pit filled with corn kernels! It feels so good to walk on the corn kernels and to lay down in it! There are also a bunch of other activities listed on their website.

When you're ready for the maze, you pick up a pencil and a map. There are signs posted through the maze and if you locate certain signs, you can be entered into a drawing for some prizes.





It was a lot harder this year than my sister and I remember! But we finally got the hang of things and did pretty well. Unfortunately, we didn't have much time left, so we didn't get through the whole maze.





I had an absolute blast with my sister at the corn maze and highly recommend it! There were a lot of families with young children so it is a fun time for all ages! One group that we seemed to keep running into had the cutest kids! They would get so excited when they found the signs they were looking for! I guess I never really realized how good of an activity it is for kids especially. I think it's a fun way for them to learn not only the alphabet, but directions and decision making. The maze is located in Shakopee, MN and is open every Saturday and Sunday through October 31st (make sure to check out their website for directions and a $1 off admission discount). If you go, I hope you have as much fun as my sister and I did!





..and Skol Vikings!
