Buford Corn Maze

Saturday, October 5, 2013

It’s that time of year again when things around Atlanta get a little spooky. Halloween is on its way and as the 31st approaches ghosts, goblins and ghouls start to appear, pumpkins are carved into jack-o-lanterns and harmless rows of corn are turned into mind boggling mazes. The Buford Corn Maze is just one of many around the metro area that will put your brain to the test. In its fifth year of operation, the maze has grown as well as the other activities on property. There are pony rides, a farm animal exhibit, live entertainment, a haunted forest adventure and the corn box (think sand box but filled with kernels).  This year, 20,000 visitors are expected to try their hand at the maze and other activities.
