Derthick's Corn Maze

“We love Derthick's Corn Maze!! Even though we are very busy with our own harvest season during the fall, we make it a point to carve out a day to come up for a day of family fun at the maze. Between the bucking cow ride, archery, air cannon, yard games on steroids, corn box, slides, animals, hay bale playground (our kid's personal favorite), and more, there's enough to keep a family entertained for a whole day without ever even stepping foot in the maze itself. The maze itself is nothing short of incredible though! The amount of work that goes into creating such a mega-sized masterpiece is huge, and they do such a good job of keeping it nice (though I know some people baulk at not being allowed to crash through the cornstalks that took all season to grow 🙄). I know from talking to the family that each individual corn kernel is precision planted into the shape that they have chosen, which is REALLY cool, and I love that the corn gets harvested at the end so that you can have a working farm that is fun and creative, but also functional and hopefully profitable. We are real cheapskates 😅, so we never indulge in the zip lines or other add-on activities, but for what you pay to get in, you get more than enough bang for your buck! Last but not least, Derthick's Hill is the highest point in Portage County, and the incredible view of the beautiful fall colors from the top of the hill this time of year is just breathtaking. Mr. Derthick once told me that on a clear day you could see all the way to Lake Erie from the top of his silo! Though they clearly cannot allow customers to climb the silo, I would love to see the view from the top some day. I know that their last weekend is coming up shortly, so be sure to check out this aMAZEing farm before they close for the year!”

“Had a great experience here, was definitely worth the drive up from Pittsburgh! The maze was the right amount of challenging (spent some time going in circles but thankfully there were enough checkpoints we were able to get it figured out) and there was a good variety of concessions. The employees were all super knowledgeable and friendly. I’ll definitely be returning next fall!”

“Derthick’s farm was great! The staff was friendly & there was a bunch of stuff to do for the kiddos. Big bubble blowing station, big inflatable, cow train rides, air cannon, basketball hoops, zip lines, apple cider slushies, farm animals & 3 different kinds of corn mazes! It wasn’t crowded and it was only $13 per person!”

“Did the PYO sunflowers. Also have cosmos, zinnias, and cornflowers. Lovely field with lots to pick. Also butterflies, hummingbirds, and goldfinches. Got a beautiful bouquet. Will definitely do it again.”

“My kid had so much fun at this farm. There are so much for to do and it is not overcrowded. 2 years ago, we got lost in the large corner maze. This year we redeemed ourselves!!”

“We loved Derthick’s corn maze trail ride. Horses and humans all had a great time! Thank you for staying open an extra weekend to allow for this event”

“Definitely not worth the money. $39 to get in and then you have to pay for every activity that you want to do?? (Ex hayride) Food was overpriced for the quality/quantity. Animal barn was underwhelming. Workers were nice.”

“Staff was insanely rude at the front door. Should have turned around then. The animals at the “petting zoo” were EXTREMELY neglected. Bunnies on wired floor cages with no where to go except wire. None of any of the animals even had water… their bowls were bone dry. Cats there were covered in fleas and extremely thin. This cat had multiple hot spots from licking himself because of the fleas. Please treat your animals better!”
