Unique Hemp Maze is a Must-Visit this Fall in Southeast Minnesota

It's that time of year when Minnesota families start heading out to pick apples, hit up fall festivals, and explore corn mazes. But there's a very unique type of maze in southeast Minnesota, not too far from Rochester, MN, that you should definitely check out this fall.

As you drive on 52 north of Rochester, you've probably seen this maze before. It's the same place where they host Fright at the Farm every year. It's the Hemp Maze at Willow's Keep Farm in Zumbrota!

How Does the Hemp Maze Work?

The Hemp Maze works like all of the corn mazes out there: you go into the hemp field where there's a path, it'll mislead you in some spots, and the goal is to get out on the other side.

The maze actually opened in July, but I know mazes don't dawn on me until it's around corn maze time (so in the fall).

You Can Also Get a Tour of the Farm and Learn About Hemp

On top of being able to goof around a try to find your way out of the Hemp Maze, they also provide a lot of education about hemp in Minnesota.

I think hemp is commonly misunderstood so having something like this in southeast Minnesota is awesome. Some things that hemp can be used for include building materials, food, clothing, and healing.

When Minnesota's Hemp Maze is Open

On their website, they say the 2024 Hemp Maze will be open through September this year. The maze hours are Monday through Friday 11 AM - 6:30 PM, Saturday 11 AM - 5 PM, and Sunday Noon - 5 PM.

Last I saw, entry to the maze is $6 per person. Also, make sure you come prepared and wear close-toed shoes. It is a farm field that you're walking on, after all. There are also some fun games to play during your time at the maze too.

Also, if you want to learn even more about hemp and its uses in Minnesota, they offer a Hemp Farm Tour. Tickets are $15 per person and are done by appointment only. That $15 ticket, by the way, gets you into the maze, so you don't have to pay another $6 to do that.

On top of the fun mazes that you can check out in the fall, there are plenty of other reasons that fall in Minnesota is awesome. Keep scrolling to check it out and see if you agree!
