BIRTHDAY PARTIES 

We specialize in hosting fabulous, fun days in the sun! Kids of all ages can enjoy an adventure in the great outdoors. Your little ones will enjoy our barrel train, while tweens and teens like to conquer the corn maze as the sun goes down. Riding through the beautiful orchard on the wagon, eating kettle corn, and taking hilarious photos with maze props make memories that will last. Adult parties usually end with s’mores at twilight around the camp fire after a maze challenge.

Remember that with kids’ birthday parties, all accompanying adults will need a maze wristband to walk around the fall festival area. For your convenience: You may not know how many people will show up – in this instance, rent your campfire (and s’more kit if desired) online (reservation is required for this). Do not get your wristbands ahead of time, rather, email Amy (cornmaze1@live.com) with your best estimate of how many guests are age 2-8, how many are 9 through adult, and how many are seniors. That way our staff can prepare a sealed bag of wristbands for you to pick up from the ticket shack upon arrival. At party time you will pass out wristbands and have fun with your guests (save the ones you don’t use!). At the end of the party, pop in to the ticket shack to return unused wristbands and only pay for the ones you used. This is an Honor System that keeps things simple for everyone.

CORPORATE OUTINGS

Every organization has its own personality. Some want a low-key stroll and some sunshine while others bring a competitive team-building goal to their outing. The fall festival atmosphere at Lynd Fruit Farm can spice up the happiness factor for any group. The Corn Maze challenges participants to find specific items within the maze. It also has a “cheater line,” which we call the Survivor Trail, to help folks that want to walk through without getting lost. Most organizations round out the corn maze experience with a wagon ride to pick an apple, campfire(s), food, and fall games. (Some folks even come in costume!) 

GROUP DISCOUNT – On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, groups of 20 or more receive $1 off the normal Corn Maze wristband price, making it $11 per person. For private weekday reservations, a minimum of 40 maze event wristbands at regular price are required (occasionally we can piggyback a smaller group on the reservation of a large group.) Children under age 2 get in free. The wagon ride is $4 per ticket (age 3 and under free). On the wagon ride, each passenger gets to pick a juicy apple. Private wagon rental pricing: $300/hr Monday – Thursday (special pricing for non-profits – email for info); $220/hr Fri-Sat-Sun.

Approximately 20 people can sit around a campfire ring (seated in clusters), priced at $65 for 2 hours. A s’more kit – $22 – feeds about 20 and includes marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers and cooking sticks.

STUDENT GROUPS – Children and students who are normally very well-behaved can sometimes become extra excited when they go to Lynd Corn Maze with their friends. An adult chaperone must walk through the maze with each group (about 4-6 students) under the age of 16, to help ensure that rules are followed, and to promote the safety and overall joy of all in attendance. One chaperon wristband is provided free for every five students. Please read the rules below to your young ‘uns.

CORPORATE FAMILY OUTINGS – If a corporate group is enjoying an outing with family members included, we have a complete offering of kids’ activities including the Barrel Train, Mini Maze and more!

For additional questions about planning your Group Event – Email CornMaze1@live.com or call Amy, Director of Laughs & Smiles at 740-404-9967. Inquiries are answered Tuesday – Thursday.

Tips for group leaders:

Make the address easily accessible for everyone. The address of the Maze is 9851 Morse Road SW, Pataskala, a different address than the Farm Market driveway. Sharing the Maze address ahead of time will avoid corn-fusion and help people to arrive in enough time to get some hot cider and kettle corn!

Wearing the right attire is important. Good walking shoes appropriate for dewy dirt paths are a must. The orchard can be very breezy at times, so bring layers to stay nice and warm. If your budget is tight, you may want to bring bottled water as there is NO water fountain on site. Beverages are available for purchase.

Over the years group organizers have creatively amped up the fun by equipping teams to make their own team t-shirts prior to Maze Day, bringing colored bandannas for each team to wear, mardi gras necklaces and prizes for members of the winning team, or giving Lynd Farm Market gift cards to employees so they can take home juicy apples and delicious treats to share with their families. Team also LOVE to shoot apple cannons, so check out the cannon offerings at this link: https://lyndfruitfarm.com/apple-cannon/ for another great add-on!

Food – Delicious food is available on site (think hot cider, hamburgers, fries and kettle corn) or you are welcome to bring your own (no alcohol). Corporate groups can have catered outdoor buffet meals prepared especially for their group by contacting Vanessa at Buckeye Concessions at Vanessa@BuckeyeChocolate.com or 440-273-8180. Buckeye Concessions offers hot cider, kettle corn, hamburgers, grilled chicken, vegan options, fries, hot dogs and more. 

Need to plan a group event for 40 or more people on a Monday – Thursday? Send an email to Cornmaze1@live.com or call 740-404-9967. Be sure to include: desired date, back up rain date, number of people 13 through adult, and number of children age 4-12 (if the event is family-style). 

Important – Please provide these rules to your participants prior to your visit to ensure a great experience:

MAZE RULES:

• No running in the maze.
• No foul language, unless you’re discussing the birds flying overhead.
• Do not pick the corn or pick up an ear on the ground. Do not throw corn. We harvest it for cows.
• Stay on the path roped with twine. Do not go under the rope or cut through the corn.

The biggest Ooops made by groups? Not allowing enough wiggle room in your schedule. People tend to arrive late, so extra time allows plenty of time for fun!
