Amazing Maize Maze at Rural Hill

An Annual Fun Event: September 10 – November 1

Beginning Thursday, September 10, and every Thursday through Sunday until November 1, the “Amazing Maize Maze at Rural Hill” is open. Hours begin at 10 a.m., with the last tickets sold by 5 p.m. each day. [Adults - $10; Children 5-12 yrs. - $7; Children under 4 yrs. – Free] There will be four special “Flashlight Mazes” on September 18 and October 9, 23, & 30.

New this year – school & church groups of 20 or more are $1 off each ticket in September.

This year’s theme is “GO GREEN!!” Explore Rural Hill’s Energy Maze by finding the clues. It will challenge your skills in problem solving while you find Kernels of Knowledge as you make your way to Victory Bridge.

For those that may be unfamiliar with the format, this is a corn (maize) field maze that is indeed challenging for young and old alike. It is a wonderful family event. Many students attend with their classes during weekday times. Church and social groups will also find the challenge to be fun and perhaps competitive.

Rural Hill is a 265 acre historical site in Huntersville that was the original homestead of Major John Davidson and his family. This is the location of the Lake Norman Highland Games and other events during the year. The location will also host the “Rural Hill Sheep Dog Trials” on November 7 & 8 this year.

For further information about Rural Hill and this year’s maze, visit www.ruralhill.net or call 704.875.3113 for advance group reservations.
