The way this 8 acre maze is designed, you can spend as much, or as little, time as you like in the maze. If you’re up for finding all the checkpoints, and solving the Farm Scene Investigation, allow 1 to 1 1/2 hours. But if you’ve got little kids, with a shorter attention span, for instance…find as many checkpoints as you can, then when they get tired, you can leave the maze, and come back later if you like.
