MANITOWOC, WI—By popular demand, Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center welcomes families to the reopening of its popular fall attractions: the corn maze and sunflower field. This year, the fields have been transformed into patriotic themes in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
For $9 per person*—or included with Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center admission—visitors can experience a bundle of autumn activities:
- Navigate the 250th inspired corn maze and walk the sunflower path shaped like the Statue of Liberty.
- Enjoy a tractor-drawn wagon ride through the blooms, available Fridays & Saturdays only from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
- Capture vibrant family photos against a picture-perfect backdrop. Professional photographers looking to host formal sessions are welcome and can coordinate scheduling details directly with the center.
- Hand-cut a bundle of fresh flowers to take home.
* Children 0-2 are free.
This year’s flower field features a new seed variety that produces multiple sunflower blossoms on every stem, extending the blooming window so families have extra time to catch the flowers at their peak. Guests are encouraged to visit early to experience the peak of the sunflower field, while the corn maze will remain open all season long.
Farm Wisconsin extends its gratitude to InDepth Agronomy, who designed, coordinated and monitored the projects, and the other dedicated partners who brought these experiences to life: Country Visions Cooperative, Greendale Dairy LLC, Grotegut Dairy Farm Inc, Soaring Eagle Dairy, Hoegemeyer Hybrids, CROPLAN Seed, Poplar Farms, and Christel Sign.
The fields will be open to explore Mondays through Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online in advance or at the reception desk Thursday through Saturday.
