Local corn maze amazes locals
October 23, 2009
Even though it’s starting to get cold and summer ended Aug. 11, there’s still plenty to do outside.
Corn mazes and pumpkin patches are “something fun to do instead of going to the movies or the mall,” senior Analyssa Cruz said.
Ardenwood didn’t open their maze for the second year, but another is located in Livermore.
The corn maze at G & M Farms in rural Livermore is a mile off 580 Eastbound and can be completed in about an hour.
“[It] gave us interactive clues to figure out which way to go” senior Amanda Penalva said.
“The maze feels a lot bigger when you’re stuck going in circles forever. But at the same time, it’s kind of hard to tell if you’re really going in circles or not,” senior James Capurro admitted.
If you find yourself desperately lost, a texting phone number is provided at clue intersections for the right path.
While picking the corn isn’t allowed, G & M also has a pumpkin patch with pumpkins going for the set price of $7.
Don’t expect to be scared in Livermore like at a haunted house because G & M caters to families.
The scariest the maze will be is not finding the end. Bring a flashlight and sweater in case the course takes longer than expected.
Food and kid-friendly attractions like a haystack maze and a mini-train ride are also open.
Visit the G & M website for a dollar off coupon. The maze is open 4-8 Mon.-Thurs., 4-10 Fri., 10-10 Sat., and 10-8 Sun. It costs $8 Mon.-Thurs. and $10 Fri.-Sat.
The pumpkin patch is open 10-6 Sat. and Sun. and 2-6 Mon.-Fri.
