It’s not every day that you get lost in a corn maze anywhere in New York City, but it is all the time been my dream. If you share that dream with me, you truly need to see the Amazing Corn Maze at the Queens County Farm Museum. This year’s maze is formed like the American Flag to commemorate its 200th anniversaryth The Star Spangled Banner’s anniversary and can be browsed Saturdays and Sundays through October 26th. However, don’t be concerned too much about getting lost. Before embarking on your corn-filled adventure, the staff provides “Stalk Talk”, to help you find clues to navigate the maze effectively. Tickets are $9.00 for adults, $4.00 for kids between the ages of 4 and 11, and kids under 3 enter free. The museum is located at 73-50 Little Neck Parkway in the Flower Garden. For more information visit: queensfarm.org or contact them at info@queensfarm.org or by phone at (718) 347-3276.
