Celebrating its 16th year, the Walla Walla Corn Maze has a Sweet 16 theme carved within the rows of corn.

However, the sweet experience can be scary. As if the swooshing sound of the cornstalks in the wind isn’t enough to keep you on edge, masked creatures are lurking within the maze to scare those brave enough to enter in the darkness.

The maze offers spooky fun Thursdays and Sundays from dark until 10 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from dark to 11 p.m. Parental discretion is required for children under 12. People are encouraged to bring a flashlight.

For the faint of heart, regular hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 2-5 p.m. Families with small children can enter the maze for a non-scary experience.

The daytime tours are free for ages 0-3, $5 for ages 4-11 (must be accompanied by someone 16 or older) and $7 for ages 12 and up. The nighttime entry for scary fun is $10 per person. Payment is by cash or checks only. The last admission is 30 minutes prior to closing time.

In addition to the maze, visitors can try their luck with the corn cannons during daylight hours Saturday and Sundays. Launch corncobs for a chance to win cash prizes or extra shots. The cost is $1 per shot or $10 for 12 shots.

Also, sit around the bonfire and enjoy some food from the concession stand. Keri’s Concessions offers burgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, fries, tater tots and nachos.

The Walla Walla Corn Maze is located at 853 Five Mile Road, Walla Walla. To get there, follow the signs east on Isaacs to Mill Creek Road, and go right at the Y onto Five Mile Road. Travel approximately 1/2 mile to the parking lot of the corn maze on the left.
