Maple Lane Farms

This place was amazing! This is the first Corn Maze we ever did. The maze was so well done. We loved the passport program where you have to find the 10 numbered posts. There all different themes for the passport from movie to scripture and you pick the theme you want. Answer the post question right and you go to the next post — wrong answer and it will wrap you back to the same post to try again. They had a huge country concert this year which we missed. They said 20 000 people showed up that their neighbor farmer opened up his property to help out. In the day time the maze is challenging, but fun. At night it turns into a haunted maze with monsters chasing you while you try to get out. Each year they have a sponsor and the maze is designed to reflect that. There is a giant tent with tables to comfortably eat the food that they offer. You have to get a T-​shirt with the current maze printed on it.
We were from Miami and came in the drizzling morning and asked the owners mom (Ms Shirley) if it was open and she said it was going to be closed for the day. We were a group of 8 adults and 4 children from 6 months to 3 years. We were leaving the next day to go back home. She said it was to dangerous for the hayride because of the mud, but after looking at our sad faces she said she would open the Maze for us. She did everything for us open the gift shop, gave directions and even took our pictures. She was so precious. We had the entire maze to ourself. We completed the Maze with incredible joy and a great story to tell our friends back home! Thank you so much Maple Lanes Farms you have made our fall season and TN trip!

It’s tradition for us to visit MLF the weekend before Halloween. The hayride is always fun to ride and pick out your pumpkin from the patch. The pumpkins are reasonably priced. They usually have a live band playing, which adds to the ambience. The venue is probably has less activities than other pumpkin patches, but that does not bother me!

Promised my daughter for weeks we would go on opening day to ride the hay ride. They opened on a Friday night at 6PM. I drove from Knoxville to visit the farm. Got there around 6:10, there were maybe 5 other cars in the lot. Made it across the farm to the ticket booth by 6:15. The ticket booth employee was standing at the next building, the snack booth. While I stood there waiting about 2 – 3 mins he yelled over that he would be right there. After taking his time to get back to the ticket booth where we were standing. He informed me that the hayride would only happen 1 time that night and it left right at 6. He wasn’t sympathetic to the situation, rude even. He seemed very sarcastic as I was leaving he yelled hope you didn’t drive too far.
