Best Corn Maze

A-maize-ingly (too corny?), the same winners of Best Corn Maze from last year won again — and in the same order! Ferguson’s Orchards (6470 Balsam Rd., Eau Claire) offers a season pass that includes a plethora of activities, like wagon rides, friendly farm animals, a corn pit, and more! If scares and screams are your thing, then head over to Field of Screams Haunted Trail & Barn (8020 Curvue Rd., Eau Claire) where you might see a set of twins lurking around the corner. In addition to their 11-acre labyrinth of fun, Govin’s Farm (N6134 670th St., Menomonie) offers spring and summer activities, like petting lambs and strawberry picking! —Stephanie Nesja
