Looking for the perfect blend of outdoor adventure, farm fun, and quality time in the countryside? The Lethbridge Corn Maze offers all of this and more, making it a must-visit destination for families, couples, and anyone eager to disconnect from the everyday hustle. Established in 2000, this local gem brings together mazes, adorable animal encounters, and stunning sunflower fields for a day full of unforgettable memories.

Why It’s “A-Maze-ing!”

Corn mazes are a test of your navigation skills, a fun challenge for team efforts, and an experience that never fails to be filled with laughter. At the Lethbridge Corn Maze, you can tackle different maze designs that suit every age, from the kid-friendly paths to the big maze, which takes anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours to complete. Don’t worry if you lose your way; they’ll harvest the maze in November!

But that’s not all. The Lethbridge Corn Maze is more than just a maze. There’s an array of family-friendly activities, including ziplines, rat rollers, a giant slide, and even a petting zoo with local and exotic animals. For visitors keen on a unique perspective, the hedge maze and pallet maze offer even more ways to get “lost” and have fun.

Hug a Goat (Really!)

One of the most adorable highlights at the farm is the goat snuggling sessions. Get ready for 60 minutes of pure joy as you cuddle lively, playful goats. Goat snuggling runs from May to July and has an extra fee. All sessions include a chance to feed other animals in the petting zoo, so make sure to grab a cone and enjoy!

Sunflowers and Selfies

Is there anything more serene than wandering through a field of sunflowers in full bloom?
