NH Halloween Guide
Corn Mazes
It's an a-maze-ing experience. Local farms have figured out how to cash in, beyond pumpkins and produce, at harvest time. By offering corn mazes, they draw families (who inevitably buy produce at their farm stands) while creating a fun, challenging and educational diversion for their customers. Get lost along the twists and turns of the corn mazes we've discovered in New Hampshire. It's a great way to spend an autumn afternoon with the whole family.
107 Beech Hill Road, Hopkinton
603-223-0828
Beech Hill Farm creates three incredible mazes each year. They are ready to explore from August through October. The new mazes this year include Arctic Expedition, All About New England and Congo Trek.
A trip through these corn mazes are educational; teaching geography, history, state symbols and map reading as well as information about the state of New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Maze even features "roads and highways" that criss-cross the "state" offering clues to make your way through the corn fields. Open daily. When you make your way out, build yourself an ice cream sundae with all the fixings!
