Peila View Corn Maze announces upcoming twilight and haunted maze nights
OXFORD – Peila View Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch in Oxford has announced it will be open for twilight and haunted maze nights later this October after the maze and its surrounding attractions have been a huge success with the public since opening in September.
From 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on October 20, Peila View Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch will be open for a twilight maze. The twilight maze will not be haunted and attendees are asked to bring their own flashlights.
From 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on October 26 and 27, corn maze organizers will haunt a small portion of the maze for people to walk through after dark.
Since opening the corn maze on September 1, owners Michelle and John Peila estimate over 2,000 people have stopped by for their autumnal attractions. Their youngest attendee was 12-days old––their oldest, 84 years.
“We’re happy with it,” said John Peila. “The best part is seeing the people leave happy, everyone leaves happy. A lot of family photos have been taken on that hay pile.”
In addition to the six-acre corn maze – which features the phrase “So God made a farmer,” as well as homages to the 4-H and FFA organizations – the Peilas have also built a cow train, a corn box, hand-pump rubber duck races, a fully functional concession stand, a smaller hay maze, and more for people to enjoy when not walking through the maze.
“People are having a good time with it. It’s the simplest things that seem like the most exciting,” said Michelle Peila. “It kind of goes back on our heritage.”
Michelle Peila said opening a corn maze was an idea in the back of her mind for a long time before they finally opened it this fall. John Peila said hard times on the dairy farm were the final factor in propelling them to open the maze.
The Peilas say it takes about an hour to navigate through the corn maze. They noted some pass through quicker than others, because people go into the maze and are tasked with answering farm related questions to get directions through the maze. If they answer correctly, they are given the proper directions. If they answer wrong, they will be send toward a dead end.
It took about a year and an internationally contracted maze making company from Utah to make it all come to fruition, and the Peilas say they’re satisfied with how it turned out. They said they plan to continue with the corn maze for many years to come, and are already looking forward to what they will add next year.
The corn maze is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday through the rest of October. It will also be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, October 8. Admission to the corn maze, including all of its attractions, is $6, and children aged two and under are free. The maze’s last day open for the season will be Sunday, October 28.
Food including fried dough with maple creme, candy and caramel apples, hamburgers, hotdogs, french fries, and more are available for purchase at the maze. Pumpkins can also be bought at the farm.
