MOUNT DORA'S CHALLENGING CORN MAZE OPENS OCT. 6

Get lost.  And have a blast doing it.  

The 16th annual corn maze at Long & Scott Farm opens on October 6.  In previous years, the popular seasonal attraction reportedly brought in an estimated 1,500 - 2,000 weekend visitors.

Visitors that dare can enter the  seven-acre corn maze and attempt to find their way out of the tall and twisting corn field.  No need to panic.  It's a friendly day of fun and before an anxiety attack kicks in, participants can raise a flag to surrender and be promptly rescued.   

There is also a one-acre corn maze for smaller guests, plus a 3-acre live Tree Maze in the shape on an ear of corn.  The popular attraction also includes an over-sized jumping pillow, 60' super slide, kids' zip line, covered picnic areas, mist maze, hayrides, rope maze, country market and cafe.  There is also a quaint wooden castle very similar to the play fort recently removed in Mount Dora’s Gilbert Park.  

Visitors can grab a bite to eat at the farm’s Country Cafe or choose a food truck  

Scott's Maze Adventure is open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.) between October 6 and Dec. 9.   It is recommended to get there early to avoid long lines.  Latest entry is 3 p.m. The farm is located at 26216 County Road 448A, Mount Dora.
