Get Lost in the Lacombe Corn Maze

The Lacombe Corn Maze is celebrating its 6th season…and the Alberta Centennial! The popular maze, which takes a different form every season, opens Friday, July 29.

The 2005 maze reflects an Alberta centennial theme and boasts about seven km of pathways. If you happen to make not a single wrong turn, it's about three km from the entrance to the centre of the maze.

Last year, between 10,000 and 15,000 people came to take on the challenge of finding their way through the maze cut out of 15 acres of corn.

There are other attractions onsite as well including a gigantic jumping pillow, pedal cars, little John Deere trucks, a mini train, farm animals, a slide and a corn cannon that shoots corn at a target that just happens to be the Alberta centennial logo.

There is cow croquet, too. It's croquet with a bovine theme.

The maze is 1.6 km west and 0.8 km south of the intersection of Hwy 2 and Hwy 12 west of Lacombe.

It will be open Friday, July 29 from 4-9 p.m. and Saturday, July 30 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.  After that it will open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. during August.

For September and October, it will be open Wednesday through Saturday. Wednesday and Thursday hours are 4-8 p.m. Friday hours are 4-9 p.m. and the maze will be open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays.

The hours on Labour Day and Thanksgiving are noon to 6 p.m.
Admission is $8 for adults and $6 for children aged five to 12. Children under four are free.
