They have year-round activities like Barnyard Adventure plus addition seasonal festivities (corn maze, sunflower festival, haunted corn maze at night).
Open daily 9-6pm tickets can be purchased online, book ahead and save $. Located at 790 McKenzie Rd.
I last checked out the farm in August, here is a review of the farm .
In August 2021 we took in the fall festival at Maan Farms. There was a lot to keep us busy for the best part of the day. From the pumpkin patch, corn maze and barnyard adventures with a stop of lunch at Mama Maan Kitchen for lunch. We were sure to take in their seasonal drinks, pumpkin donuts and pumpkin icecream – delish! We were happy to see they had all the items on the menu available this time. The corn maze was too muddy to do much of, so we headed to the barnyard adventure to fee the animals! My kids especially love the bunnies that are roaming freely on the grounds. We were gifted the experience but as always my opinions are my own.
