Fort Vannoy Farms Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch
Fort Vannoy Farms Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch
Fort Vannoy is one of Grants Pass’ most popular attractions in the fall. This year, there will be a corn maze, cow train, and pumpkin patch. The pumpkins are each $0.39 per pound. The cow train is $6.00 per ride. The 8-acre corn maze is $6.00 per person. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the plan is that there will be no food trucks or the Farm Kids Play Area. A new activity this year that may be available will be pumpkin carving. Overlooking all of the fields is the Farm Stand. It is stocked with freshly picked produce every day. The fresh produce available consists of broccoli, candied onion, carrots, dill, eggplant, green beans, and winter squash. One of the most loved events is the haunted corn maze. The haunted corn maze consists of 19 rooms of horror, from classic scares (including clowns with chainsaws) to the new addition of a zombie maze, and so many jump scares. It will be open each weekend for the rest of October, starting on October 9th, at 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Tickets are $15.00 per person.

There are also crafter booths, food vendors, and a raffle. Due to the generous sponsors, admission is free. Each year, it takes place at NW Washington Blvd.
