A Maze In Corn — Attraction in Rural Municipality of Ritchot

Snow Maze was amazing 💋❄️ entrance ❄️ five fire pits found 🔥 exit ❄️ fun times

What a gorgeous day to be outside ‘n fresh air

Manitoba Canada - Guinness Book of Records something to be proud of

Who ever thought a small town St Adolphe south of Winnipeg would make their mark not on the map but Guinness Book of Records!!! They have bragging rights for the largest Snow Maze in the World. Why not we have the record for Slurpee’s.

On the spur of the moment I grabbed my ski pants, boots in hand and off on another road trip. Within an hour I was at me destination. First I towers for zip lining. Something I will try out this summer. The parking attendant direct’s a parking spot. There’s ample parking for a short walk to the main gates where you’re greeted with friendly staff/volunteers. Reasonable cost for $12 adults $12.00 per person, $10.00 for 4-12 yr, 3 and under are free.

Now the excitement begins at the entrance you’re told to find five pits when you make to the exit you have bragging rights. First fire pit was simple. Easy Pesy When that was funny, not so easy. Which way do I turn the walls are high so no one can peek/cheat. I would look up to see the sky or where the towers were so I would know which direction I was going. In my mind is Johnny from the “Shining” going to show up. I would hear laughter wrong way, “we’re at a dead end”, we’re going in circles”, “did we not just see the same wall”. Yesss fire pit 2, 3 & 4, now it gets tricky to find the last one & you’re out. Phew saw the last fire pit and the exit at the same time. Whoot whoot I made it out. People would cheer and take photos at the exit with big smiles on their faces. Hey I am ready for the Corn Maze in the Fall & cannot wait!!!

Next off for a Sleigh Ride by a team of two horses. Only $3 for a ride sweet deal. People of all ages jumped on the wagon waiting for the ride. The handlers was very friendly as well. We talked about the horses and they believe there will be 5 fouls born. Awwwwww

Tummy is making noise, did I have breakfast? Oops I forgot as I was focused heading out to the Snow Maze. There was a huge selection from fries, smokies, hot dogs, perogies etc, hot drinks to warm your inside.

There was circle in closure where people jumped in for a friendly game of Dodge Ball. What looked like fun ski’s made for four. Well you needed a person to count to make sure you stayed in stride. Otherwise you’re head over kettle in the snow with smiles.

Would I go again absolutely! Enjoy your day at the Snow Maze before...

Super fun for the family but room for improvement. Parking lot attendants are friendly and a huge asset. However I wish they’d build a fence in front of the water they expect you to park near and would add lights in the parking lot. The toilets are absolutely horrendous and will burn your lungs, so investing in something other than outhouses seems worthwhile as a business. That aspect alone makes me think twice about returning. Food at the snack shack was yummy but having two order windows would help with long lineups. I miss how previously they’d have hole punches at various spots in the maze to do a scavenger hunt but those are no longer installed. Their haunted forest line up took an hour and we were the earlier 6:30-7 time slot. I can’t imagine how long the other time slots waited. If they had music and played a movie on a projector it would be less miserable waiting in line… In previous years they had an actor interacting with the crowd and telling a story to those waiting in line but it doesn’t look like he works there anymore which is a shame. There are so many actors in the forest that you never really have time for anticipation to build, you just know one will be there every turn or two. A person in our group tore his coat on a nail and scraped his hand on some wood in an area near a drop off so just be careful in that area as well as narrow areas - don’t rush through or you may get hurt/trip. The metal entrance, pirate rules room, swamp laser room, school bus and vertigo spinning room were probably the coolest parts of the forest. Pumpkins for purchase were a great variety of size shapes and colours. Petting zoo was good fun, light wands were more reasonably priced than in prior years, and the hay hill was fun for the kids to climb. All in all I would go again but there is room for the owners to make some improvements if...

Enjoyed very much: The Snow maze was awesome! Great job setting that up!!!! The entire family loved it! The staff is soooo great! Love everyone of them...very friendly, cheerful, just did a great job of making their presence known for questions!!

Didn’t enjoy: when we paid admission they told us to check out the fire breather performer which we did not enjoy at all....he was about 10 minutes late getting his “show” started as it was to be at the top of every hour and when it’s cold outside (-20) the wait is that much longer!! Then He spent most of the time setting up by dipping his battons in the oil and then proceeded to practically beg for money in the form of tips telling us that Amze in Corn did not pay him to be there. I kid you not, he asked for money between 6-8 times while setting up and then after. He even told us that 5 or 10 dollars was appreciated but to give him 20 would be perfect cause that paid for the oil he used...I get that he is a performer but found it extreamly unprofessional to ask so many times and I basically tipped him because I felt he obviously was super hard up for money and needed it so felt sorry for him that he has to work in the cold and they are not paying him ... but the actual show of juggling and then breathing a fire ball wasn’t very good at all and made me feel even more sorry for him and the whole actual show was like 5 minutes so not worth the wait in the cold and maybe in the future if performers are invited - pay them a wage to be there so your guest don’t...
