Two Pedal Kart Tracks lined with bales of straw give older kids lots of space for fun competition, while a smaller inner track provides a less active haven for younger children. It\u2019s all part of the fun at Cherry Crest Adventure Farm<\/p><\/div>\n

A\u2008Farm Tour Wagon Ride takes visitors through Cherry Crest\u2019s 300-acre cattle, poultry and farming operations that have received numerous conservation awards for their reliance on green management and solar energy. \u00a0 Interactive displays cover subjects from the importance of bees to how to milk a cow, to watching a baby chick peck its way out of an egg. \u201cIt gives us gerat joy to share our somewhat corny vision of life on the farm,\u201d said Marketing Manager Brian Groff. \u201cOur mission is all about family fun and creating memories that last a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course the corn maze, billed as the world\u2019s largest interactive game, remains the star attraction. This year maze trekkers will travel in, around and through a humongous 5-acre guitar deigned to reflect a \u201cMusic Through the Ages\u201d theme. There are three levels of play \u2013 Easy, Intermediate or Advanced for die-hard players who seek the Kernels of Knowledge and 15 hidden puzzle pieces that complete a map. There are plenty of tricky turns and fun diversions to test your music skills.<\/p>\n

There are eight different food corrals, food wagons and cafes to catch a snack, lunch or dinner. Cherry Crest is famous for its fresh-picked roasted sweet corn, homemade cider donuts, fresh-squeezed lemonade and kettle corn. The menu also includes Angus burgers, hot dogs, \u00a0chicken and pork, fries, salads and wraps.
