This fall, the Maize at Steed’s Dairy celebrates its 10th year. That’s 10 years of memories made by more than 150,000 people who have come through the gates to enjoy the changing season, finding fun, adventure and special moments.

While the corn maze is the main attraction, there are many other activities on-site, including a pumpkin patch, a petting zoo, hayrides, a kid zip line and cow milking demonstrations (on certain days).

“Although we have lots of new people each year, we try to add something every year so that people who return don’t get bored," owner Jim Steed says. "There are lots of photo opportunities and games all over the property.”

The corn maze, which has a different theme each year, is the biggest draw for most visitors.

“We try to keep a local charity theme every year for the corn maze, but this year is our 10th anniversary, so I was thinking about doing something along those lines," Jim says. "Then I saw on the news that it’s also the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. So, we did an Apollo 11 moon landing theme with a big rocket, the moon with some clouds and the flagpole.”

Favorite attractions for kids are the enormous jumping pillow and the giant tube slide. Those seeking a fun night out with friends or a special someone will find a whimsical pumpkin patch, an excellent maze and tons of adventure. When asked about his favorite attraction, Jim said, “Definitely the corn cannons!”

Steed’s Dairy is open this fall through Nov. 10. All activities are included in the price of admission, except for shooting the corn cannons. SteedsDairy.com
