Nighttime Corn Maze
 Get lost in the dark! Skelly's is opening the corn maze at night this fall. On 11
nights this October, you can put your navigation skills to the
test and try to find your way through our hardest Impossible
Maze ever. But don't worry about getting too lost: the morning
cleaning crew will find you if you are not out by sunrise. Being
lost in a cornfield all night can't be that bad, can it?

Is the maze haunted at night?
No, even with
our nighttime maze we will continue to keep our farm fun for the
whole family. The maze is more challenging at night, and some
younger guests may be slightly spooked by the darkness.
Attempting to scare guests by jumping out or spooking them, even
if they are part of your group, is not allowed. We do not want
the maze to be scary for guests who only want a nighttime
adventure.
The Impossible Maze looks really hard. What if I don't
make it out?
We have never had anyone take more than
two days to get through The Impossible Maze, so you should be
fine. Just kidding. Most visitors take 45 minutes to an hour to
navigate the maze, although it is not uncommon for people to
come out the entrance or not find all the checkpoints. If you
are concerned about getting too lost, make sure you bring your
cell phone so you can call the corn cop rescue line if needed.
How much does it cost to go through the maze at night?
Admission is $6. Special rates may apply. Once
you exit the night maze you will not be allowed to re-enter.
Are both mazes open at night?
Only our
Impossible Maze is open at night.
What other activities are available at night?
The corn maze is currently the only activity that will
be offered at night. Besides our ticket booth and parking lot,
all other areas of our farm including the playground, pumpkin
patch, wagon rides, kitchen, and gift barn are off-limits at
night. Portable bathrooms are available.
What if I get hungry? Is food available?
Limited supplies of donuts and other baked goods will be
available in grab and go containers. Our kitchen is not open at
night to serve special orders or coffee. A limited
selection of canned soda is also available. On cool nights we
also may have hot cider available.
How old do I have to be to go through the night maze?
All visitors who are 12 and younger
must be with someone over age 16. We encourage parents not to drop their children and
leave while they are in the maze. Parents will be responsible
for any children they bring to the maze. Most visitors will
spend about 45 minutes in the maze.
What can I bring to the maze?
No bags of any
type including purses and backpacks will be allowed in the maze.
Outside food and beverage is not allowed in the maze. Alcohol
and tobacco products are prohibited on our farm. However, you
are welcome to bring a flashlight because it can be pretty dark
on a cloudy or moonless night. Glow sticks and light sticks are
available for purchase. And don't forget to bring a readiness to
get lost!
Are groups welcome at night?
Yes! Groups of
25+ can purchase tickets for $5. Or, come by 5:30 and your group
can get a wagon ride before venturing into the corn maze for a
low price of $6.50. Please call ahead to schedule your group.
Are there any special discounts?
Yes, yes,
and yes! Almost every weekend has a special theme. Please note
that most of these specials also apply during the day on the
corresponding weekend.
