SUMMARY:The Haunt - Jonamac's Haunted Corn Maze
DESCRIPTION:Get Lost In Terror \n\n\n\nWhen the sun sets on the farm\, an eerie shadow is cast upon the maze inviting guests to explore the 10-acre labyrinth in our corn field. \n\n\n\nPathways twist and turn through miles of rustling leaves where terrifying creatures and spooky surprises are lurking behind the stalks. \n\n\n\nEnter if you dare… but BEWARE!Strongly recommended to purchase tickets beforehand!What You Need To Know \n\n\n\nAll children under the age of 16 need to be with an adult chaperone. Children are not permitted to enter the maze alone or without adult supervision. \n\n\n\nThe time on your ticket is your ENTRY TIME. For example\, if you select 6:30-7:30PM\, you need to redeem your tickets by 7:30PM or the tickets will no longer be valid. Last group in at 10:30PM\, then the entrance is closed. \n\n\n\nNo Halloween Masks or costumes are permitted in the maze\, sorry! \n\n\n\nGuests are ideally broken up into groups of 4-5 (or fewer) people and metered into the maze by our staff to keep groups separated. Large groups do not get as great of an experience! \n\n\n\nIt takes about 30-45 minutes to get through the maze\, and we have staff to help you if you get lost. \n\n\n\nNo Alcohol is permitted in the maze. \n\n\n\nFlashlights will not be allowed in the Haunted Maze\, only glowsticks or pen lights. \n\n\n\nOur Scare Actors are not permitted to touch guests\, and guests are not permitted to touch or hit Scare Actors\, or they will be asked to leave the maze. \n\n\n\nPlease be advised\, the haunted maze does contain strobe lights\, flashing lights\, loud noises\, and dirt pathways. \n\n\n\nUnlike other years\, this year the entire maze is Haunted. We will not have 1/2 un-haunted and 1/2 haunted.
