Sever’s Corn Maze & Fall Festival

SOOOOO MUCH COOOORRNN!!! The actual corn maze itself ain’t v good. I mean its supposed to be a maze and I couldn’t even GET LOST! Me and my group of friendz I was with at the time tried our hardest multiple timez to get lost so we could find our way out, but there’s was deez signs evrywhere that told you where you were. 2.
Don even get me started on the corn pit!!! We swam, ran, jumped, buried, and wrestled which already fun enough but here, you can do it IN CORN!!! It was the best frickin experience of our lifes. With a doubt a 5!
Food was overpriced. 1. Animals cute as all heck. We all fed them a bunch of food and probably made them morbidly obese. 4.
Customer service was amazing. I had so much fun in the pool of corn that I didn’t realize that I lost my key until it was too late. Literally, when I realized I lost my keys, they were closed. But the next day i asked my mom to call them (I was afraid) to ask bout my keys. And she did. They said they had my keys and all I had to do was go and pick them up. V nice and helpful. Totes a 5.
Bottom line verdict, I might go again. Only if I keep my keys safe doe.

Don’t bring your kiddos here for a birthday party; they are an absolute rip-​off. Normal price to get in is $ 15, their «birthday/​group rate» is $ 12 per person ages 4 and up (a little stiff). They offer picnic tables for the birthday group, that’s it. You can bring in a birthday cake, nothing else. I asked nicely if I could at least bring in a case of bottled waters for my guests, and their response was, «No, the guests need to purchase water from the concession stands». Hm, so before we blow out candles I’ll have the party line up to purchase waters? NO thank you! I snuck in water anyway despite their rediculous response.
The tables set up for the group included 6 picnic tables that were crammed closely together underneeth a small tent. There was another birthday party literally right next to us. it feld a little odd being as close as we were. Also, there was a face painting station right in front of the tables. With that being said every child wanted their face painted… prices started at $ 6 per kid (no discount for birthdays). In conculsion, they are expensive. Don’t plan a birthday party at Sever’s, unless you’re a millionaire.

We absolutely love this place. We came today (opening day 2015) and immediately one of the friendly staff members said, «I remember you from last year!» She even recalled my daughter’s name! Nice to see you Tammy!
We’ve come every year for the last four years. We take our annual photos on the huge bouncy pillows, eat mini donuts & very tasty corn on the cob, visit the petting zoo, and end with a «swim» in the corn kernel pit.
We’ve never actually done the corn maze. When our daughter gets bigger we will for sure. But for now, the bouncy pillow, animals and fun live music are attractions enough.
We were also thrilled today to meet the gracious Mr Severs himself, who humbly gave all the credit to his grown up kids.
I highly recommend coming early and spending the day.

When I went a few years back they had pony rides and ostriches and maybe some goats. A bit dull and boring but not too bad for kids. Kind of expensive but everything is.

Growing up in San Francisco has kept me in the dark about a lot of «outdoor» activities. In my mind corn mazes only exist in movies. Frankly I did not even know what exactly a corn maze would look like. I came here anticipated seeking fields of corn, as in the movies Signs or Jeepers Creepers. I was pleasantly surprised.
+First, if you are a newbie to such midwestern festivities like myself, you would be happy to heard that Sever’s Corn Maze has food stands!!! I like to eat so this made me quite happy. I had totchos which are akin to nachos but with tots. It was greasy and delicious. They also have cider, hamburgers, corn and hot dog, sweet corn on cob, doughnuts, and tacos.
+/​-​The corn maze itself was decent. I went with a group of friends and we attempted to complete the maze activity (e.g., find the 6 of 26 signs with a letter and a train picture). Besides our group, mostly families participated…
+ they have scheduled shows. While we missed the pig race (sadly), we saw the magic show which was pretty darn cute considering the astonished facial response from the kiddos around us.
+ I love petting zoos and they have so many animals here! They had potbellied pigs, miniature horses, kangaroos, llamas, goats, emus, and more that I don’t remember. You can buy a small cup of feed for a dollar. I was easily sold.
Overall, I had a great time. I did not see scarecrows jumping out of fields to murder me, so that was an extra plus. If you go online you can also get download coupon for $ 1 off each person in your group (I didn’t know but my friend did!).

Great fun for everyone. They have an online coupon as well as a military discount. The corn maze is a must.

Been here several times. It’s very fun, and challenging for everyone. Even have pumpkins.

We went last Sunday, on a beautiful fall afternoon. I was expecting a madhouse, but it was actually not chaotic. Based on some reviews, I was expecting a Minnesota State Fair level of human density, but the space is so large and the main attractions are spread out enough that we never had a problem letting our toddler run wild. And run wild he did — some live music, pig races, goat world, the maze, the corn pit (though he was a little too small to be very mobile in a pool of corn) and other family friendly stuff. I imagine kids up to 12 would love this place. It costs $ 12 to get in, which isn’t cheap, but is generally affordable. Parking was easy. Concessions were OK, not too expensive. Most attractions are free, but the greatest benefit is all the open space for little ones to burn off some energy. We’ll probably be back next year.

This is a really fun place to visit. The corn pit is the coolest thing ever. The bouncing pillows are awesome and the maze is cool. The only thing I would change is the food. The choices are overpriced garbage so we do make sure to eat before we go and bring snacks for during our visit.

Great idea for families and right next door to Canterbury. Parking is super convienent and theres a giant pit of schucked corn. Food is reasonably priced and did I mention this is a cheap event? A family of four cold easily get in and out for under 50 bucks.

The maze itself wasn’t much, they give you a map and a challenge to complete. it wasn’t very maze like. The corn pit and bouncing pillows are awesome though. I recommend going on a Friday night, vs weekend day, it looks like it gets packed during the weekend days

We love Severs! But I have to say that the parakeet enclosure stressed us out this year. The problem is that the birds are allowed to roam freely in the enclosure while adults and kids walk around, yikes! So you will see birds on the ground, walls, ropes, etc… basically everywhere and with so many people in the enclosure there is a high chance that a bird is going to get crushed. That’s what happened while we were there, a parakeet eating seeds on the ground was partially crushed and had to be separated — who knows if it survived :(So I can only imagine it happened many times more after we left because it is just too dangerous the way they have it set up. Anyway like I said Severs is a great place to take the kids and have some fun but when it comes to animals and especially little parakeets they need to do a much better job in protecting them.

OMG — how are there not more reviews for this magical wonderland of all things corn?!
Question: do you like state fairs? If you said yes, then there’s a high probability that you will enjoy the Severs Corn Maze.
The maze itself is actually pretty impressive. Ever stood in the middle of an actual corn field? That stuff grows pretty tall! It’s clearly fun for kids… as an adult I found it enjoyable, but would have liked it more if we had gone during off-​peak hours so we could have tried to do the maze on our own (it’s hard to do it legitimately when there are so many people you have to actively try NOT to follow them).
Lots of delicious state-​fair-​style fried foods and beverages. The corn pool was equally horrifying and amazing. The petting zoo was pretty cool, although those things are always kind of sad. I was impressed that they has kangaroos and other exotic animals there (including a zonkey… that’s what you get when you breed a zebra and a donkey, FYI).
Good family fun — I recommend it!
Oh — and look online, there was a $ 1 off admission coupon that you only had to show on your phone for discounted entry (money better reallocated to cheese curds!).

It’s cold out here on the prairie, and the coffee is bad. But other than that, good times are being had at Sever’s Corn Maze. Oh, it is also a little pricey.
I suspect a lot of little kids wouldn’t be impressed with the actual corn maze, but there’s plenty of fun to be had in the corn pit and hay bale maze and the jumping pillows. (like a bounce house but with no top or walls)

Went with my 4 year old nephew and 2 year old niece and they loved it. We were there for 6.5 hours.
Only bummer is that they only take cash :(
Are looking forward to returning next year.

Woohoo! This is my first Unilocal — and definitely wanted to get the word out about how amazingly epic this place is to others.
At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect because I thought the $ 10 admission fee (regular price is $ 11, you can find a $ 1 coupon on their website) was a bit pricey and only was for the corn maze. But upon entrance, you’ll find so much more!
There’s a pumpkin patch, a giant straw bale maze for kids (and adults alike), an exotic animal petting zoo (you can even feed kangaroos or an ostrich. come on, an OSTRICH!), a potato sack slide, great live entertainment, magic and wildlife shows, and more!
The sig oth and I decided to do the hay ride (very reasonably priced at $ 1!) and we couldn’t stop laughing at the bumpiness. Though, I wouldn’t recommend the ride for those with bad backs.
Another thing we tried was the giant corn pit — at first a bit intimidating, I mean, it’s a giant pit full of corn and kids. Yet swimming in a giant a pool of golden yellow kernels can be strangely therapeutic! (Just remember to take out stuff from your pockets and bring an extra pair of socks if you decide to go in!)
There were also things for sig oth to do, as he tends to like things that involve launching projectiles. Thus, the pumpkin slinger and corn launcher were a perfect fit for him. Believe me, watching an ear of corn coming from a cannon and rocketing across the sky will either make you smile, laugh, or cry.
Food is typical fair food — good corn dogs and really good cheese curds! Prices are also quite reasonable, and you won’t have to sell your soul for nourishment. You’ll also find plenty of roasted corn to be the popular hit.
Last, but not least, the corn maze. I read that the Sever family has been making these corn mazes for 14 years now, and this year’s was certainly complicated, but fun! You’ll find participants of all ages, and paths are wide and clear so it doesn’t feel crowded at all. You’ll be given a map to help navigate and checkpoints, if you’d like to follow them. For us, completing the maze took around 45 minutes to an hour. I felt like a Midwestern Alice in Wonderfarm! If you’re going during a sunny day, I’d definitely recommend some sunglasses and a hat.
I smiled so much from going here that my face hurt. It was that amazing. Highly recommended autumn activity for a half day!

Not corny, just fun!
I’ve wanted to check this place out FOREVER! Well, this was finally my year. It was a cool and breezy yet sunny Sunday afternoon a couple weeks ago so we headed down to the maze. I found a coupon on their website, which made it $ 20 instead of $ 22 for entry.
We did not go in the corn pit or the haystacks since they were most infested with children, except for the one twenty something couple we saw quasi making out in the corn pit!
We got our map and inquired as to how long it should take us to make it through the maze. We were informed between 45 minutes to an hour should be good. Be the adventurous types we are, we decide we are not going to go in order, but set out to conquer the maze with no rhyme or reason.
It’s a good thing I wasn’t alone, I would have quit! Who would have thought it was so hard for me to read a map to a maze? Then I remembered, ah I hate those puzzles on the back of menus at chain restaurants, therefore, I am not going to be able to find my way through a corn maze. Despite the 7 year-​olds finding their way through quicker than us and the teenagers acting like idiots, we had a great time. I would go back again to see if my map skills have improved.
The corn dogs are the same as the ones outside the dome, which are excellent, better than the ones at the fair in my opinion, and the hot cocoa was a perfect way to warm up after my 1 hour and 40 minutes in the maze.
Oh, and the pirate was pretty darn funny.
