Afton Apple Orchard Corn Maze

Will you accept the challenge of the maze?
This huge 15 acre corn maze is calling your name! The maze is divided into 3 phases. The first phase is for beginners, and those who consider themselves to be directionaly challenged! You can exit there, or go on to the 2nd, more difficult phase. If you are up to the challenge, continue through the 3rd, and most difficult phase. There are over 6 miles of twists and turns! Try it by the light of day, or try your luck by the light of the moon. It's a great time for people of all ages! Ideal for youth groups, school groups, church groups, scout groups, or companies that want to emphasize the importance of team work and building relationships in a relaxed, yet challenging atmosphere.
How can you get some good exercise, enjoy a fall day, laugh as a family and learn about agriculture all at the same time???? AT A CORN MAZE! Come and get crazed by the mazes! In addition to our huge corn maze we also have new additions to the maze this year. There is a "no-left turn" straw bale maze, a rubber hose maze and a rope maze. Come enjoy the fun!!
picking season starts early August, and we normally are able to pick pretty close to the end of October. Don't miss our apple festival October 4th & 5th, 11th & 12th, and 18th & 19th, 2014!
We are open 7 days a week from 10am to 6pm. There is a moderate admission charge of $3.00 for ages 5 and up and $2.00 for ages 4 and under.
Fall Raspberry season begins early August and goes until about mid-October, unless we get a hard freeze. Usually later in the week is better for picking because of the heavy picking on weekends. Always call for picking conditions before coming to pick berries.
We have made connections with some of the best Michigan fruit growers and we are pleased to offer you some of the finest blueberries, sweet dark cherries, rainier cherries and tart cherries
