Elwood Orchards — Local services in Londonderry

The corn maze took us 2 hours to complete. The difficulty is high because there are no signs, clues, bridges, etc. But it’s an awesome challenge and forces you to develop a sense of direction by mapping it in your head as you go. It’s very engaging, and beautiful. We found all the emergency exits, got stuck in one section of the maze for quite some time, circling around, but eventually found the way out.

It would be a fun day for friends, couples...
