Come Get Lost! Our newly carved three acre Sunflower Maze opens on Saturday, July 30th, and features a design inspired by the kids of Connecticut Children's Medical Center!
It's no secret sunflowers attract butterflies! Imagine what 350,000 sunflowers could attract: a 3-acre sized Butterfly! Come see it for yourself!
Wander along the winding pathways of our maze for a visual and navigational experience unlike any other! There are lots of ways to get lost, but only one exit!
Guiness World-Record-holder Brett Herbst, recognized for creating more Mazes throughout the world than just about anybody, visited our farm a few weeks ago to carve out our newest Butterfly design.
We will post photos of this amazing 3 acre Butterfly very soon!
Enjoy a Birds-Eye View from the famous Remax Hot Air Balloon!
We're proud to partner with one of the leading realty companies in New England, Remax, a long-time avid supporter of Connecticut Children's Medical Center.
If weather and wind conditions allow, the famous Remax Balloon will be at the Sunflower Maze for tethered ballon rides during morning hours on opening weekend, July 30 & 31st.
Take a ride for charity! All proceeds from Balloon Rides ($5 per person) will be donated to Connecticut Children's Medical Center. Balloon rides will be available from 9am - 11am, weather permitting.
Exploring a maze is always lots of fun!
Even more importantly, your visit will be made extra special because when you buy a ticket, you'll be helping to support the fight against pediatric cancer!
We donate $1 of every admission ticket to the pediatric cancer unit of Connecticut Children's Medical Center.
Kids can't fight cancer alone! Your visit to our Sunflower Maze will go a long way in helping Connecticut Children's continue to offer Connecticut families the best pediatric care in our state.
To date, we have donated more than $22,000 to Connecticut Children's since opening our first Sunflower Maze four years ago.
Bring your family, your friends, and your camera! The awesome views can be enjoyed from the maze viewing platform as well as from the surrounding orchard hillsides.
So come get lost for fun, and for a great cause!
