Tucson Area Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze 2022
Apple Annie's Pumpkin Patch
Located just over an hour to the east of Tucson, Apple Annie's Orchard is Tucsonans' favorite place to go for their fall-time fun. Grab a wheelbarrow and pick your own pumpkin on their 40+ acres of land. Or take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch for just $5 per person. Visit the barn for pre-picked pumpkins if you prefer a quicker way to shop. Choose from various sizes and colors throughout the entire pumpkin patch.
Apple Annie's Corn Maze
The corn maze opens up this weekend (September 23rd). It covers 12.5 acres of land and offers three levels of difficulty to choose from. Consider this a "choose your own adventure". Start by grabbing your corn maze passport from one of 12 different topics right when you enter. Answer 10 questions to find the 10 signs that navigate your way through the maze until you make it out on the other side.
Make sure you stay on the paths established throughout the maze. Do not veer off on your own through the corn. Organizers recommend closed-toe shoes to make walking on the dirt pathways easier. All-terrain strollers should easily maneuver through the maze. No touching or picking the corn. Cigarettes (including e-cigarettes), alcohol, and drugs are strictly prohibited in the maze. Only service animals are allowed. Please leave your pets at home. Most people spend about two hours making their way to the end. There are no restroom facilities inside the corn maze. So, make sure you visit them before you start your tour. You also might want to bring a bottle of water with you, especially if it's extra warm outside. Have fun!
