Farmer Charleys Corn Maze

Don’t waste your time OR your money! These people are rude, rude, RUDE!!! We stopped at their corn maze after a weekend camping trip at Sterling State Park. Towing a small camper, we parked in the best spot we could find — albeit that their parking spaces are NOT well defined. I stayed with our dog in the truck, and my husband and two girls went to the corn maze. After about 15 minutes, the incredibly RUDE owner came to the truck and demanded that I move the rig. I’m not comfortable towing the camper, but apologized and moved the rig to the side of the road next to the corn maze (outside of his parking area). Again another 15 minutes later he was back complaining to me that I was «blocking traffic». I don’t see how when I was practically parked in the drainage ditch! I actually got out of the truck and insisted he explain to me exactly HOW I was blocking traffic. He said Look… if you don’t move your «#@*&* truck I’ll have someone move it for you! At that point I called my husband and told him party is over, we are leaving. After the owner left, his son or hired hand stood at the fence to monitor the situation. Owner really needs to ramp up his game if he’s going to make a living by entertaining children AND the parents who PAY for the visit!!!

«Corn Maze Adventures» along with farm animals, hay rides, etc. Tons of silly things to do, and the best part is everything (except the pumpkin cannon) is included with the entry fee! This family owned farm is not related to Apple Charlie’s in nearby New Boston. There are three corn mazes of increasing levels of difficulty. The first is perfect for little kids as you follow storybook pages to reach this end. The story for the 2014 season was Spookly the Square Pumpkin. The second maze was much harder and was the Incredible Hulk, with Hulk trivia at critical points to steer you to the right path. Unfortunately it was extremely muddy in the middle from rain a few days earlier, and the third maze was completely closed. There is a Corn Cop on a tower in the center who helped guide us to the end. We enjoyed giant iced cookies and gooey brownies around the campfire. There is also cider and hot food available. They are also going by the name «Kackleberry Farm» even though I’m not sure what a kackleberry is!
