When does the maze open?
The maze opens September 12th and Scream Acres begins September 25th. Refer
to our schedule for dates and times.
How big is the maze?
The Fritzler MAiZE covers over 15 acres of ground and contains over 2 miles of
pathways guaranteed to get you and your family or friends lost.

How long does it take to go through the maze?
It all depends on how many wrong turns you take. The average person will finish the corn maze
within one hour. Some people have taken a lot longer and a few a bit quicker. For those who
are afraid about the time it will take to finish the maze, we do have Corn Cops in the maze
that can help you find an exit.
Will I get Lost?
We hope so! It's designed to be
that way. While everyone does get lost to a different degree, we have designed the maze to
be an interactive activity that makes a trip inside the maze more than just a walk through
some corn. At the beginning of your visit you have the option of taking a "passport".
The ten questions on the passport will help you make your way through the maze.
What forms of payment do you accept?
The preferred method of payment at the MAiZE is cash (US currency only, please),
but we also accept Visa & Mastercard!
What age is the Fritzler Maze most appropriate for?
One of the great things about Fritzler Farms is the fact that it offers something that everyone
of all ages can enjoy. From babies all the way up to grandma and grandpa, our goal is to make
sure everyone in your group leaves with memories to cherish.
When do you begin haunting?
Phase 2 of the maze, Scream Acres, The Creature and the 3D maze are all haunted shortly after
dark. Haunting begins nightly September 25th; however, we do not haunt on Sundays.
What age is appropriate for Scream Acres and/or the haunted inflatables?
Scream Acres is appropriate for older children and adults. Since each child is different,
we leave it up to you, as the parent, to decide if your child would enjoy the haunted experience.
While we try to avoid unnecessary gore, this is a dark cornfield and you will undoubtedly
encounter some startling things lurking in the corn!
Are you open during bad/inclement weather?
Unforeseen
weather can force us to close at any time, an announcement regarding any weather
closures will be recorded on the MAiZE hotline (970) 737-2129 or here online.
Are there refunds if guests leave due to weather?
No, but any unused portion of the tickets are valid through the entire season, allowing you
to return on a future date.
How accessible is the maze?
Fritzler Maze is handicap accessible. The corn maze and courtyard itself however are on
unpaved farm ground. Wheel chairs, strollers and wagons can be brought on premises and
are able to complete the corn maze, but the ground (like any farm) can be bumpy or in
some cases muddy in spots.
Are there restrooms on site?
There are porta potties on site at Fritzler Maze.
What should we wear?
Because we operate in September and October, we recommend being prepared for cool
weather. We also recommend wearing closed-toe shoes or sneakers. Remember that you will be
in a farm atmosphere and should dress appropriately for the best experience.
When is the best time to come to the maze?
Friday and Saturday nights after dark in October are our busiest times. You may want
to plan your visit to scream acres for a Wednesday or Thursday evening if you are looking
for a smaller crowd.
Can we bring our own food and picnic at the maze?
Absolutely! Though we sell lots of great food onsite, you are welcome to bring your own as well.
We have a large grassy area and picnic tables that are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Additionally, we have tent areas that can be reserved for groups or parties. We also take
reservations for campfire sites for those wishing to bring hotdogs to roast over the fire.
Are we allowed to bring our dog with us to the maze?
Yes, but fido must be on a leash and you must clean up after him/her. Pets with current
vaccinations are allowed during daylight hours, provided they are on a leash are not
threatening to other visitors and owners clean up after them.
What are the maze rules?
No running; no smoking; no alcohol; no throwing corn (kernels, ears, or stalks);
stay on the designated pathways; no hitting/touching actors or special effects in
haunted areas/attractions; please refrain from using obscene/derogatory comments,
gestures, etc. while at the maze.
How do you make the maze?
Its taken lots of practice. Our particular process of making the maze is a trade
secret, but we can tell you that we plant the whole field in the spring and then
cut out the design when the corn plants are still fairly short. The design is created
on a computer and then transferred into the corn field.
Can I eat the corn?
You could, but it wouldn't taste very good. The variety of corn that we grow
for the maze is field corn for cattle.
Thank you for your understanding cooperation!
