“Opening Saturday, Sept. 26th through Nov. 1st, Maxwell’s Giant Maze is created to honor America’s 250th Anniversary featuring Lady Liberty and a Giant Flag with Red, White & Blue Photo Opps throughout the farm.”
“Veterans and Active Military receive free admission for the entire fall season by showing their I.D. We honor and appreciate their service for our country,” said Borger. “There’s nothing more
patriotic than Fireworks. We’ll have Spectacular Fireworks every Saturday in October.
“Over 30 Interactive Attractions are offered at Maxwell’s and this year’s Fall Visitors will discover something new,” he added. “Encounter beautiful Parakeets at Maxwell’s New “Birdie Bunkhouse” and grab some “Bird Tweats” to feed them yourself, for only $1.”
