Itinerary:
With 10 acres of corn planted and a new mindboggling design created, the Edmonton Corn Maze is bringing the “MAiZE craze” back to Edmonton. The popular Edmonton labyrinth, which drew thousands of visitors last year, promises to get curious maze-goers lost as it has once again opened to the public. Entering its 8th season, the Edmonton Corn Maze has become an annual tradition for many Edmontonians. The Edmonton Corn Maze is excited about this years Rexall Edmonton Indy themed maze. With the new Indy Car Series making its premiere visit to Edmonton, the Edmonton Corn Maze has designed an amazing tribute to the event. The 2008 maze features an outline of an Indy car, racing flags, and the Rexall Edmonton Indy logo. This design provides an amazing aerial view as well as a challenging maze.

Though the correct pathways can be walked in under 30 minutes, most directionally challenged visitors - adults and children alike - will require about one hour to travel through the maze of more than 5 km of twists and turns and 85 decision points.

The Edmonton Corn Maze is located only minutes from West Edmonton and is very easy to find.

There are some other attractions at the farm site as well, including animals and mini-mazes. See their website for more information.

We'll meet by the entrance and pay as a group to get the discount.

Required Items to Bring:
$9 for entry (fee is slightly reduced if we have more than 10 people)
Good walking shoes for packed dirt trails
Recommended Items to Bring:

Money for beverages and food while at the maze or afterward.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:The Edmonton Corn Maze is just past west Edmonton, in Parkland County. Map and directions can be obtained from the corn maze website.

We'll meet by the entrance and pay as a group to get the discount. Look for me wearing a bright yellow EOC baseball cap.
Carpool to Event Distance (round trip):22Km
Carpool Departure Time: 6:15 PM
Carpool Location:   Log in for location
Carpool Directions:   Log in for directions
Carpool Cost: The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $6.38 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Friday, April 19, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
