Get Lost in Maze Craze!

In Columbiana, OH. Great for the whole family!

Get lost at Maze Craze, the best corn maze in Ohio & Pennsylvania!

Maze Craze has transformed over 21 amazing acres of corn into a life-size maze. There is a total of 8.6 miles of trails that twist, turn and sometimes come to a dead end. The maze was professionally designed and cut by Shawn Stolworthy of MazePlay in Firth, Idaho.

The Maze Craze design for 2015 is an Alice in Wonderland theme. It has four separate mazes that will fascinate and entertain both young and old for hours. The Blue maze is two toadstools nestled in a meadow that starts the adventure into Wonderland. It is 0.4 miles of trails, is meant for young children, and is very easy to finish. Inside this maze is a game called Farmtracks, which is an easy-to-play game for little kids that follows a story line similar to Farm Scene Investigation.

The other three mazes have a total of 18 checkpoints to locate and punch your ticket with a unique shaped punch. The Black maze is the character White Rabbit and a toadstool. It has 1 mile of trails and is more difficult to navigate. It has 6 checkpoints to find and you can also play our  interactive game called Farm Scene Investigation. It's like a game of CLUE - players have to figure out who "did in" Farmer Joe. Each player will get a clue card to solve the alleged barnyard crime. Find the hidden Farm Scene checkpoints that are NOT ON THE MAP and use the game card, along with your clue book, to eliminate suspects. Clues and criminal will change weekly during the season, so come back and solve it again!

This year, the Green maze is the Mad Hatter and the bottom of Alice's dress. Inside this maze is our Treasure Hunt game. There are 6 other checkpoints hidden throughout this maze that are not on the map. Find them and choose which area on your Treasure Hunt card to scratch off and reveal points. Compete within your group to see who accumulates the most number of points. The green maze has 2.5 miles of trails. The longest maze is the Red maze, it features the Cheshire Cat, a castle, Alice, and an animated flower. It has 4.7 miles of trails. These two mazes are the most difficult mazes to complete. Each one has 6 checkpoints, but they are much harder to locate throughout the trails. Average time to complete all 4 mazes is approximately 1 ½ to 3 hours, depending on your maze expertise.

It's not a haunted maze, but you're welcome to come after dark and bring your own flashlight, or you can buy one there.
