Calgary Farmyard is spread over 13 acres, and the centerpiece has to be the massive corn maze. It’s not just any old maze; I believe it’s a sprawling labyrinth with corn stalks towering at least 10 feet high!
The maze is divided into two phases, and you can easily lose yourself in it for 25 to 45 minutes trying to find your way out. It’s got this perfect mix of challenge and fun for everyone in the family.
This place isn’t just about getting lost in the corn; there’s a petting zoo where you can meet the cutest animals, like goats and little ponies. And if you’re feeling adventurous, jumping pillows and ziplines are just begging for you to have a go.
