Disclosure: I was provided with press tickets to experience these events in exchange for my honest review. No other compensation provided, all opinions are my own.
We are so lucky here in Colorado, we have a ton of great local fall festivals, pumpkin patches, orchards, corn mazes and haunted houses. Sometimes it is hard to decide which one to visit, we seem to be fall festival chasers and we go to as many as we can during this time of the year. Lucky for us we have a great Corn Maize and Haunted House just minutes from our house. The last few years we have really enjoyed our experiences at both Maize in the City and Haunted Field of Screams.

The Mini Maze is open daily, weather & field conditions permitted. Admission is $5.00 ea for all kids that can walk the pathways. Parents and grandparents are free with the Child Admission.
Be prepared for mud and uneven walkways. Wear appropriate clothing when entering the mazes. We would also recommend bug spray, we all got a number of mosquito bites while doing the maze.
OTHER ACTIVITIES:
Maize in the City is fairly large. There are a number of fun free activities to enjoy, including a large playground, a corn kernel box, and admission to the pumpkin field. Pumpkins are priced by size. Prices are determined by the size and type of pumpkin selected. Prices range from $1 to $20, or more. You can also find a variety of gourds and corn for sale as well.
There are other activities that the kids enjoyed that did cost a bit extra. They especially enjoyed the mini barrel train ride, petting zoo, and bouncy houses. If you are going to enjoy the bouncy houses you MUST have your kids check out the ALL-NEW giant pumpkin bounce pillow! Guys, it is huge and Jude had so much fun on this thing!
