While summer may mainly be over now, there are still so many events and activities to do in Edmonton!
Something we had been meaning to do all summer but kept missing, was visiting the Edmonton Corn Maze. We finally went over the long weekend!
About to head into the Edmonton Corn Maze!
We had only ever been to this corn maze when they used to do Farm of Fear Halloween nights (unfortunately they haven’t done that in the last few years) so it was a totally different feeling visiting when it was light out (and zombies weren’t trying to attack you lol).
Follow the leader!
Before you enter, you can grab some sheets with clues and riddles that when answered correctly, will guide you the right direction through the maze.
There’s also a smartphone / GPS system that can track where you’re going in the maze and you can hit up checkpoints on your phone to get riddles/clues for directions too!
The smartphone / GPS technology is pretty cool but definitely takes away from the whole getting lost aspect as you can clearly see where you are in the maze (even if you’re not quite sure how to get out!)
Corn mazes are pretty high-tech now!
Yes you can bring your dogs to the corn maze. I wish we had checked out the F.A.Q. before we went because we definitely would’ve brought Olive and Artie!
Lots of family fun at the Edmonton Corn Maze.
Considering it’s just $12 to get in for adults, $9 for youth and free for kids 5 and under, you can really get a lot of hours of family fun in at the Edmonton Corn Maze for a pretty low cost.
The farm also has their own concession too so you can have lunch here too!
These corn stalks are gigantic!
The Edmonton Corn Maze’s fall hours are Sept. 6 until October 23.
Tuesday – Thursday: 12pm – 8pm
Friday – Saturday: 10am- 9pm
Sunday: 1pm 5pm
Mondays: Closed
The same family who runs this farm also operate the Lacombe Corn Maze, which is super popular for their crazy corn maze designs! Lacombe isn’t too far from Edmonton either so you should/could really do both.
P.S. You could eat the corn that’s growing in these mazes but they probably wouldn’t taste very good. Most of the energy goes into growing the corn plant tall so the cobs actually taste bitter and mealy. I didn’t actually try it but that’s what the website says, lol. #themoreyouknow

on the cob, grilled slathered with a jalapeno butter and the husk on.
On the cob, grilled with olive oil, garlic and parmesan cheese! :D
Best way to eat corn: roasted on the BBQ in its husk and with loads of butter and salt. Yum.
Also, I tweeted and followed the Corn Maze :)
Best corn = grilled and coated in mayo, butter & salt and pepper. Sooooo good!
Best corn comes from my back yard and is on my plate within an hour of harvest! On the BBQ wrapped in a wet paper tower then tinfoil is the tastiest!

I love it roasted on the cob with a bit of butter :) RT and Followed :)
I love corn in my salads!
I only commented; rafflecopter isn’t working.
I love to cut the corn off the cob, fry it in butter salt and pepper yummy-o
My fav way is hot corn on the cob with a bit of butter, simple and delicious! I also followed the @corn_maze on twitter.
I like my corn on the cob as well in fritters!! I also tweeted and followed @corn_maze on twitter :)
Corn on the cob is my favourite!
Attended River Day, Rundle Park, Edmonton, in June with my son and his friend Hau and his Mom, Helen. She packed a lunch – Sandwiches/Salads and Corn On The Cob. It was so juicy and delicious, so I asked how it was prepared. She cuts the cob in half – brushes it with Garlic Butter/Parsley/Sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese – places them in Ziploc bags and cooks them in the microwave for 10 minutes. Cobs remain sealed till the lunch hour. I still prepare it the same way and yes it is a topic of conversation – pay the recipes forward.
