Avoid “Children of the Corn” references. Sunday
Whether we chose to admit it or not, even the dog days of summer are behind us.
After you’re finished archiving your photos from vacation (step away from the label maker), you and the family can enjoy a real corn maze – five acres of rows and ears in which to get pleasantly lost.
Open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through Halloween, the 6th annual corn maze is said to be the most challenging yet.
Featuring a mini-maze and great food, I command you to get lost.
What: 6th Annual Corn Maze
Where: Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, 8500 Deer Creek Canyon Road
