Mike’s Maze

Who would have thought this little gem was hidden right in the foothills of Mt. Sugarloaf? I went to UMass Amherst and I never knew this magnificent mecca of corn was located right in our backyard. Every year Mike’s Maze does a new theme; past ones being the Mona Lisa, Babe Ruth, Julia Child even Darwin (high five to all my fellow Science Gurus!)! 

This year the maze is centered around Animal Intelligence; where you go to “Animal University.” You are given an “entrance exam” to Animal U at the start of the maze and if you pass, you get into Animal U and out of the crazy raven-shaped corn maze!! There are matching games, a coloring game and other trivia as you travel through out the maze answering each question. Once the sun goes down though, Animal U makes way for the maze to transform into the Midnight Raven flashlight maze featuring questions based on the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe and other poets of the past. Find your way through the Maze by flashlight to answer the questions and escape the talons of the midnight raven.  Don’t worry, there aren’t any people that pop out and scare you in the maze, the deep, dark night is scary enough on it’s own when you are surrounded by 8 acres of corn!
