WHAT’S GOING ON: What Does Autumn Mean? Ask the Garrisons.

2011 Denver Downs Corn Maze

It’s like a grade school writing project. “What does autumn mean to you?”

Easy.

Falling temperatures. Changing colors. A giant maze made of corn.

A giant maze made of corn? Yep. A giant maze made of corn.

On Highway 76 outside Anderson, just off Interstate 85 Exit 19, the Garrison family opens its 900 acre farm to the public for an annual fall celebration.

Denver Downs Farm’s corn maze and pumpkin patch is open Friday through Sunday through October 31 with activities that include a giant pumpkin patch, hay rides, a corn cannon, farm football, zip lining, bonfires, music and more.

This year’s festival commemorates the 150th anniversary of the War Between the States and includes a 12 acre corn maze as the event’s centerpiece. After finding their way out, visitors explore a variety of games and activities like a cow train, duck races, corn ball volley, a giant slide, corn hole, and horse shoes.

Admission to the annual Corn Maze & Giant Pumpkin Patch is $10 per person. Children 24 months and under get in free. Hours are Fridays from 5:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m., Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m., and Sundays from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.

The Garrison family has owned and operated Denver Downs Farm since 1872.

  1. Cool, I will have to check that out! Fall is our family’s favorite time of year. We love taking the day and quick drive up to Flat Rock for apple picking and pizza, it has become our official Fall celebration each year. We went last weekend to Flat Bakery, sat outside and enjoyed cool air and great pizza. If you haven’t discovery it yet, I wrote a post about it last week.
