Marini Farm Corn Maze

The 2023 Marini Farm Corn Maze in Ipswich Massachusetts is themed for Alice in Wonderland!

Come to Marini Farm for a fun journey through our corn maze! The Maze Park, corn maze, farm stand, bakery and other attractions provide a great destination for kids birthday parties, school trips, corporate team building, scout outings, and family activities. Marini Farm is located in beautiful Ipswich, Massachusetts - a pleasant drive from Boston.

Our Corn Maze is not your typical walk through the stalks – it is educational and interactive. There are 18 stations strategically placed throughout the maze with answers to a game sheet that you will be given before entering. We don’t give you clues…you need to find your way out on your own! You will be able to track your progress through the maze by the amount of answers you find on your game sheet. A finished game sheet is a finished maze!​

Average time to complete the scavenger hunt corn maze is 1.5 hours — so put on your sturdy shoes or sneakers and come enjoy the experience!

For our youngest adventurers, we also have a 1 acre/20 minute “mini maze”.  Their very own 5 stations scavenger hunt awaits.
