Creating Fun for Everyone at the Farm

At Treinen Farm we have one major goal: to create a place where people can escape from their everyday lives and stressors, and just have fun outside. We want our customers to feel like the Treinen Farm exists outside of the real-world. There are a lot of ways we work to accomplish this.

First, our 15 acre corn maze is a natural challenge that can keep maze-goers of all ages busy for anywhere from 45 minutes to several hours. And did we mention that there are prizes? Stop at the Prize Station to pick up your souvenir sticker–and maybe this year you’ll get the highly-coveted maze pen as well! The Victory Photo Station is also an important stop. We want everyone to be proud of their accomplishments.

The fun found at Treinen Farm, we believe, extends far past the corn maze itself, and we have many more acres of playgrounds, games, and activity areas included in your admission–and we try to add new things every year! After the maze closes in early November, we start planning for new attractions to create for the following year, with an emphasis on finding things for all ages. For inspiration we visit other farms that offer agritourism, attend conferences and conventions, and we check out amusement parks, playgrounds, and any places that people seem to be enjoying themselves. (Yes, it is indeed a sweet gig to be assigned to “find fun things” as your actual job.) We try to find unique attractions that you might not find elsewhere, and we try to build a lot of things ourselves so we can put our own touches on them.

We think that it is a real shame that adults are often not allowed to have fun and “play” the same way we did as children. We are always on the lookout for attractions and items that make adults smile and relax enough to enjoy themselves. Kids are pretty easy to entertain (a big pile of dirt is always a huge hit…) but adults sometimes need a little prodding to go down a 40 foot slide or bury themselves in corn. But if everyone is doing it, most people will give it a try.

So this year, come shoot hoops in our gravity bin basketball, enjoy our new giant corn pit, make some of the world’s largest bubbles, or climb around on our natural playgrounds. Maybe challenge a friend to a game of giant chess, Wall Ball, or the hand pump duck races! We promise that everything is meant to be for everybody, and that we play around on all of it when nobody is here 😉

We feel like we have succeeded when everyone is tired but still smiling at the end of the day!
