The Buford Corn Maze, a South Hall County family-friendly entertainment complex, will open its 13th season on Sept. 4 to kick off the Labor Day holiday weekend.

Changes have been made to the property to create more open areas at the entrance which will cut down on the bottlenecking that has occurred in the past during large crowds.

“We had record crowds last season as everyone was looking for outdoor family entertainment as the pandemic started,” said Rodney Miller, who founded the Buford Corn Maze and now operates it with his wife, Kendra. “Our new layout adds more open areas which will make it easier for our customers to social distance during high attendance times during the season.”

The corn maze is still the main attraction but there is fun for everyone, including a hayride, two popcorn jumping pillows, a farmer’s combine slide, animal viewing area, pumpkin patch, duck race, pony rides and an expanded Kid’s Corn-er play area. The Buford Corn Maze will offer special events throughout the season.

Just in time for the Halloween season, the Buford Corn Maze’s “kid-spooky” Haunted Forest comes to life on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, beginning Sept. 24 and runs through Nov. 5.

Single admission for the Corn Maze and all attractions other than the Haunted Forest and pony rides are $16. The Haunted Forest (limit one admission per visit) and all attractions other than the Corn Maze and pony rides are $16. A combo ticket for the Corn maze and Haunted Forest (limit one admission per visit) and all attractions other than pony rides are $28. Pony rides are $6.

Several season ticket packages are available. Season tickets for the Corn Maze and all attractions other than the Haunted Forest and pony rides are $40. Season tickets that cover the Haunted Forest (limit 1 admission per visit) and all attractions other than Corn Maze and pony rides are $40. A season ticket combo of the Corn Maze and Haunted Forest (limit one admission per visit) and all attractions other than pony rides is $70. Children 2 and under are admitted free.

The corn maze is open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through September – then expanding to every day in October. In November, the corn maze will be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Located on Friendship Road in Buford (Exit 8, I-985), activities at the family attraction will run through Nov. 14. Address: 4470 Bennett Rd, Buford, Ga. 30519. For more information, visit www.BufordCornMaze.com or call 678-835-7198.
