Queens County Farm Celebrates 325th Anniversary With New Maze

QUEENS, NY — During the 39th Annual Queens County Fair last week, people got a sneak peek of the Queens County Farm Museum’s Amazing Maize Maze, which will have its official opening Friday.

The three-acre corn labyrinth, which people can visit, is styled after artist Georgia O’Keefe’s iconic “Ram’s Head, Blue Morning Glory” painting, according to the farm museum.

This new maze, located between Floral Park and Glen Oaks, comes as the museum celebrates its 325th anniversary as the largest undisturbed continuous farm in the city.

Guests who want to go through the maze will get a Stalk Talk to prepare them for the challenge as there will be clues and puzzles that will lead to a Victory Bridge, which will give them a view of the full vista after they meander through the labyrinth.

Advance tickets for the maze are for sale at $12 for adults, $8 for children 4 to 11-years-old. It is free for toddlers under 3. The last day for the maze is Oct. 29.

The museum will also have Maze by Moonlight timeslots, in which guests get to visit the museum at the same price but at night for a few select evenings from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. or 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
