Field Trips
The Calgary Corn Maze, Petting Zoo & Pumpkin Patch invites your school to attend one of Alberta’s favourite and largest destinations for agri-fun and education.
On any given morning at the Calgary Corn Maze, you'll see the sights and hear the sounds of people laughing, learning and playing. Offering fun and educational field trips to students is a priority for us, especially since one of the maze founders is a teacher!
Having grown up on farms, we believe it's important to provide an experience that teaches children have the importance of agriculture, and how farming really is cool. It just so happens that we're able to help accomplish that goal in a fun and unique way. We invite you to bring your students to come get lost in our classroom in the corn!
Each field trip includes:
- Online curriculum materials for you to share with your students either before or after a visit to our farm
- An educational trip through the 500,000 square foot corn maze - the largest puzzle in Southern Alberta
- A visit with our furry friends at the petting zoo
- Access to our jumping pillows and regular site attractions including pedal karts, farm playground activities, giant slides, mini mazes, rubber duck races, and more
- A voucher for a free return visit to the Calgary Corn Maze for each student

Length of Stay
You are welcome to stay with us as long as you like. Although groups spend an average of three hours with us, we recommend you choose your length of your stay based on the age and needs of your group.
Teaching resources
Hands-on learning experiences are always best when students have been prepared for what they are about to encounter and are able to then discuss what they learned afterwards. We are pleased to offer our Classroom in the Corn learning series to make your field trip more exciting and memorable, as well as a better learning experience.
These Teacher Resource Guides are broken into separate grade ranges and include: activity goals, curriculum standards, preparation required, materials needed, worksheets, and step-by-step instructions.
Upon scheduling your field trip, you will receive an emailed copy of the relevant resource guides.
