Get lost!  And have a blast doing it!  
 
The 19th annual Corn Maze Adventure at Long & Scott Farm returns on October 1 and continues through December 12.  Located approximately seven miles southwest of Mount Dora, the seasonal attraction reportedly brings an estimated 1500-2000 weekend visitors.
 
Guests that dare can enter the 6.5 acre corn maze and attempt to find their way out of the tall and twisting corn field designed in a dinosaur theme.   If that’s not enough of a challenge, visitors can opt to tackle the maze at night.  Whether day or night, there’s no need to panic.  It's friendly fun, so before an anxiety attack kicks in, participants can raise a flag to surrender and be promptly rescued.   There is also a half-acre mini-maze for smaller guests.  
 
The two mazes have lots of paths and plenty of room. Employees inside the maze and on a bridge monitor and help guests navigate the rows of corn. Visitors are asked to divide into groups of four to six people, with an adult in each group, and then enter the maze with a flag and a game sheet.
 
The popular weekend attraction also includes a lot of fun outdoor activities for kids, including an oversized jumping pillow, 60' super slide, kids' zip line,  a mist maze, plus catch-and-release fishing. Visitors can also take an audio tour of the farm on the hayride while learning about what we grow and our history.  Food vendors are onsite, as well as a country market and cafe. 
 
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 1 and December 12.   Visitors should get there early to avoid long lines. Latest entry is 3 p.m.  The farm is located at 26216 County Road 448A, Mount Dora. Admission is $15; children 3 and under are free.  ​ ​
