Athens Corn Maze, Bogart

Despite having just debuted in 2011, right when corn was invented, Athens Corn Maze entertains huge crowds Thursday–Sunday with its smorgasbord of autumn fun. The 5-acre corn maze includes six stations, and visitors who reach all six are entered into a weekly drawing to win a $25 gift card. Once explorers escape the labyrinth, they give their minds a chance to rest and enjoy nature’s splendor during a hayride that circles around the stalks and through the woods. Next, they abandon the tractor beds to refuel at the concession stand before riding atop a pony and petting the cows, calves, horses, goats and bunnies that reside at the farm. Before departing, kids can take a turn in the bounce house, or visitors try their hands at shelling corn, shucking it straight into a huge pit where kids and parents play.
