Giant Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze

Open October 7th until October 31st

Welcome to our annual Giant Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze! This year's fun starts October 7, 2011. Come visit our family- owned and operated Century Farm. You will experience a day packed with family oriented activities that are fun for all ages!

2011 MAZE

Maze is very short this year due to drought.

The 2011 Maze is commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Over 12 acres are planted, which makes this maze one of the largest mazes in the Eastern United States. Have fun finding the numbers and solving the 'war between the states' trivia posted in the maze.

We will have a special weekend of Civil War "Living History" where you and your family can walk through the encampments of 1860s era Artillery, Infantry and Calvary units. Cannons will be fired. This will be October 15-16th. For daily schedule of Living History event see DenverDownsFarm.webs.com

Finding your way through the Corn Maze at NIGHT is an even bigger challenge. Don't forget your flashlights!!

LARGE GROUPS (Church groups, scouts, etc) ATTENDING MAZE DURING OPEN WEEKENDS DO NOT NEED TO MAKE RESERVATIONS.

"WE HAVE NO HAUNTED EVENTS"

Pumpkin Patch

Come and pick your favorite pumpkin from the hundreds grown in our Giant 8 acre pumpkin patch. We have 20 different varieties of pumpkins! They are sold by the pound: $1 to $20 range depending on weight. "Picked pumpkins" will be sold at our entrance.

Relive your memories and make new ones!"
