  Blue Ridge Mountain Maze

  Email Us

  Phone

  Blue Ridge Mountain Maze is new to the Charlottesville region, bringing our 20-year refined form of "agritainment" and fall fun to our community. The 5-acre corn maze theme this year is "Get Outside" to celebrate the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and to encourage people to get outside and have a blast. The maze has 2.5 miles of "cornfusing" paths. Each maze wanderer is armed with a survival guide and flag on a mission to collect puzzle pieces to the maze design and test their trivia skills to find their way out. Awaiting them is a victory bridge to look over what they just did. Maze takes about 45 minutes to complete. If one gets "udderly cornfused" there is a maze master to help. Corny- we know, and that is the point. We have a large selection of pumpkins and local farm products. A courtyard of fun activities for kids of all ages (and the young-at-heart), including farm animals, pumpkin sling shots, giant slides, mini-mazes, rope mazes, tire swings, giant hay bale obstacle course, fidget ladders and more. This all equals hours of fun. The courtyard is filled with farm education to add learning to the fun. (less) ... Read more

  Junior Ranger

  Junior Ranger

  Junior Ranger programs engage young people in age-appropriate activities that allow them to discover the significance of a specific site, introduce them to the national park system and to the mission of the National Park Service. They reveal to children that these amazing places belong to them. Junior Ranger programs are designed to provide participants with the flexibility to discover and interact with the park at their own pace and within the limits of their visit. They encourage children and their families to explore things they might otherwise have missed, to get out and walk around, to explore further by visiting specialized programs, park movies, exhibits, trails overlooks, talking to a ranger, and others. When you get to the park visitor center ask a park ranger or volunteer for a junior ranger booklet if you are between the ages of 6-12 and you can fill it out and earn a badge! (less) ... Read more
