BUFORD
Buford Corn Maze
Find fall fun by getting a little lost this weekend. The Buford Corn Maze offers 5 acres of twists and turns to explore with the whole family. The maze, now in its eighth year, isn’t the only attraction; you can hop a ride on a pony or a hay-filled wagon, check out the farm animals and listen to live music. A new addition this year is the popcorn jumping pillow, a giant, inflatable bouncing experience. If you’re brave enough, consider a ticket to the Haunted Forest and wind your way through a few thrills and chills. Or play it safe and follow the “chicken route” through the trees.
10 a.m.-midnight, Oct. 28 and 29; 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Oct. 30. $15 for maze or forest; $25 for both. 4470 Bennett Road, Buford. 678-835-7198, bufordcornmaze.com.
