White-tailed Corn Maze?
In its sixth year, McDonald's Greenhouse Corn Maze is "Growing to Serve You." Each year, we add attractions and change things up to keep it exciting for school groups and family to enjoy year after year. You will always get the popular hay-wagon ride, enjoy the baby farm animals at the petting zoo; and be able to enjoy a picnic at the shelter. And, yes, of course, the 5-acres corn maze.
New this year, "the "Enchanted Forest," a clearing cut through our back woods, with paths, friendly critters and educational signage for all ages. Sit on a bench and see a squirrel gather acorns, take a picnic by the beautiful cattails and wetlands, stop and listen for a minute for the many birds who call the woods their home.
This year's theme focuses on our the state mammal of Ohio: the white-tailed deer. The maze is in the shape of of the revered, masculine white-tailed buck - with a big (and 'corn-fusing') rack. There are more trails than ever in the maze, with great opportunities to get really, really lost.
Example: The corn maze is heavy on do, brain, and high energy and older age groups. That is balanced out with the giant sandbox and petting zoo activities which are heavy on the show, fun, and tranquil and younger age groups.
To get a better idea of what you can expect to find at the McDonald's Greenhouse Corn Maze and Farm, view our slideshow of pictures.

Families and groups are welcome to visit our family-owned farm all weekend. Let us become part of your fall memory-making tradition. Choose your pumpkin, defeat the corn maze, jump in the giant corn box, pet farm animals, taste fresh apple cider, then catch a family photo or two. You will be surrounded by beautifully colored woods, rolling pasture fields, barns and greenhouses - at an easily accessible location. It's just part of experiencing an autumn on the farm.
Plan to spend the afternoon and pack a picnic lunch to eat under our picnic shelter. You can wash it down with some fresh apple cider!
** Wear old shoes - the maze can be muddy even after it rains. Thousands of feet will tread on it over the season. **
