Students will learn how GPS - Global Positioning Systems - are used to design and cut our intricate corn mazes. They will then go into the maze to enhance their orientation, map reading skills and have fun getting lost in the maze! They will also see the farm animals.

FSI: Farm Scene Investigation
Farmer Joe is missing. There was an accident, and it appears to be foul play. There are seven farm animal suspects that we need you to investigate. Collect the evidence to find the weapon, the suspect, and the location where the crime took place. You will find six location scenes within the corn maze. At each scene you will find an animal, weapon and location to eliminate. Punch your card to keep track of your clues. Hurry! Solve the mystery. Put the guilty farm animal behind bars and save farmer Joe.
The FSI game can be played in the Pumpkin shaped maze & is included in corn maze field trip price.
Expect to spend about 2 hours* on the farm per field trip. Kids should wear clothes that can get dirty & sturdy walking shoes. Mother Nature dictates the conditions at the farm, so please advise students to prepare accordingly.
*Please Note: Our busiest days will be the 13th, 14th and 21st of October. If you choose one of these days you need to allow extra time for your field trip. To avoid crowds we recommend booking your group to come in September or early October. Mondays & Tuesdays are also generally slower days. Also, please note that on busy days you may be assigned to the grassy area instead of a picnic shelter.
