Weekend Forecast

Another perfect weekend to visit the Corn Maze here at Country Fun Farms.  The temperatures will be in the 70s and low 80s and not a drop of rain in site!  For after dark visits to the Haunted Maze, don't forget to bring a jacket as the temperatures are dropping.

We're excited for this weekend - Halloween!  We have the scariest, frightening thrill of all -- our Haunted Maze!  If you're game for a seriously, aggressive FRIGHTfest, you need to take a walk on the wild side (or maybe it's a dash on the dangerous side) and go through this year's Haunted Maze.

Rain?? Only a few drops last night. Still pretty dry!

We know it will seem amazing to hear this, but even after the big storm that was all around us last night, we had only a few sprinkles!
We have been having such a great time with the activities on the farm-the time is flying by! We can't believe it is almost Halloween. Other than the silly weather last night, we have had a great weather year at Dixie Maze. We couldn't be more pleased!
Field trips are really enjoying their time on the farm with our professional animal handler and all the activities they can do.
We have had a huge response for the pumpkin patch, so don't miss your chance to get you one! Remember, you get to go out to the field and pick your very own--off of the vine! We appreciate those who have visited and we are hoping for a season with continued great weather. Come on out now, ya hear?!

Clouds & Sunshine

Don't let the clouds chase you away - We're still open today.  We haven't even had a drop of rain!  So, come on over to Country Fun Farm and enjoy the nice weather while you navigate the Corn Maze & Barnyard Fun.  Have a FARMtastic day!

Not too Hot & Not too Cold

It's going to be another awesome weekend at Country Fun Farm.  The weather's perfect - not too hot and not too cold.  It's Just Right - another "Goldilocks Day" at the Maze.  Seriously, could the weather be more perfect for an outing at Northwest Louisiana's best Corn Maze?

This weekend when you come make sure you take a jump or two or three or several hundred on the Jumpy Thing.  It's FARMtastic!  It's kindof like a cross between a trampoline, and air castle and a mattress.  Did you ever get in trouble for jumping on your bed?  Well, jump on the Jumpy Thing instead - it's similar and way may fun. 

We still have plenty of "On-the-Vine" Pumpkins to choose from.  Whether they are for Jack-O-Lanterns, table decorations or good old smashing, we have the size and shape you want for a terrific price.  Plus, you know exactly where your pumpkin came from - it hasn't been shipped half way across the country.  It's been picked straight from the vine!

With so much to do at Country Fun Farm make sure you plan your day accordingly.  Plan for at least an hour in the Maze, and an hour or two in the Barnyard.  And don't forget our premier Huanted Maze!  Prepared to have the "shucks" scared out of you from the moment of entry to the moment of exit.  We put on a show you have to "see" to believe.

See you at the Maze.

Tots, Toddlers, Tweens and Teens

Country Fun Farm truly has it ALL!  Every age group, every personality, there is something FARMtastic to do for everyone.  Today we want to focus on a couple of age groups and what might interest them in the Barnyard and around Farm.  So, come to Country Fun Farms to get lost in the Maze and explore the Barnyard. 

Tots & Toddlers
The 8 and under crowd are instictively drawn to our Tire Swings.  They swing and climb all over them.  Some even pretend to race one another.  When your Tot tires from the Tire Swing, lead them over to our Duck Races.  Children love to frantically pump water into their trough to get their duck to the finish line first.  Several kids can race at once, which of course adds to the FARMtastic Fun.

Don't forget to have your child take a leisurely ride in our Cow Train.  Each car is painted to look like what else - a cow!  Plus, they get the excitement of riding in a "TRAIN" - an aMAZEn bit of fun for this particular age group.  We have tons more too - the Pig Races, Face Painting, The Jumpy Thing, Corn Bin and simply chasing the chickens around the Barnyard.  For a change of pace, take a Hayride out to the Pumpkin Patch and of course exploring the Maze is a great activity for the entire family.

Tweens & Teens
We've added even more excitement this year to our Barnyard - Our Zip Line.  We're not talking a meazely 10 or 20 feet of zip line either, but nearly an entire football field of zip - zapping fun.  After a couple of zips on the Zip Line, try to Barn Swing (it's not as "laid back" as the name implies).  The Barn Swing doesn't go back n' forth, but in a circle, just like those dizzy, spinning, FUNtastic carnival rides at the fair.  If you tweens & tweens tire of the Zip Line and Barn Swing, they should try the Jumpy Thing and the Corn Bin which are fun activities for all ages.

Tweens and Teens also love the Corn Cannon and Pumpkin Launcher.  Ready, Aim, FIRE!  They can practice for both distance and accuracy, plus maybe get some teenage angst out of their systems.  And of course the ULTIMATE tween & teen experience is the Haunted Maze.  Our haunters get better every year and the SCARE factor does too!  This is the best Haunting experience in the ArkLaTex simply because we provide that exclusive "Children of the Corn" phobia to the experience.

Hey and we've only focused on two age groups.  Really, truly Country Fun Farm has something for everyone no matter your age, activity level, or personality.  Let's face it, some of us simply want to sit back, relax and visit while our children scamper through the Barnyard and explore the Maze, while others will dive right in and join them.  So come join us this weekend.  You'll enjoy every FARMtastic minute!

Had the Schucks scared out of you?

Have you only visited Country Fun Farms during the day?  As fun as we are during daylight, we're both FUN & SCARY at night.  The Haunted Maze is the ultimate Fright Fest in the ArkLaTex.  Where else can you cross "Children of the Corn" with the best frights of a Haunted House?  It's an aMAZEngly FRIGHTFUL experience.   Let us scare the "Shucks" out of you!

Our Haunters are aMAZEn!  With each year and each haunting, they get better (meaning SCARIER)! 
PLEASE treat our haunters with care. Remember, you pay us to have them scare you!   The Haunted Maze is an extreme haunt. Parents should be fully aware of what to expect and plan accordingly.  There are NO refunds for anyone who changes their mind. 


If the Haunted Maze is a little extreme for your tastes, you can also simply go through our non-haunted mazes after dark.  The non-haunted phases of The Maze prove extra-challenging after dusk (and a lot more fun). Glow sticks are available for purchase if you need some extra help lighting the way or you may bring a flashlight.

So try a new Country Fun Farm experience this year.  Either take an After Dark Visit of a non-haunted maze or viist our Frightenly Awesome Haunted Maze.

Sunny Skies and Cool Temperatures!

We're looking forward to another exciting weekend at Country Fun Farm.  The weather promises to be sunny and mild (a major contrast from this time last year - all that rain).  Our zip line is up and running - nearly a football field length of fun and excitement.  After your Zipline experience, shoot some tennis balls (well, they ARE yellow!) at our cow targets with the Corn Cannon, visit the Pumpkin Patch, take a swing on the Barn Swing, and get lost in the Maze, plus all of our other fabulous activities. 

The Jumpy Thing will also be available this weekend.  We know you've missed jumping the past couple of weekends, but "safety first".  We're excited to have it back and we know you will be too.  It's like a giant trampoline for kids (and adults) of all ages and Waaaaaay cooler than an ordinary air castle.  It's a total blast!
