Our season has come to a close. Thanks for visiting, and we hope to see you again next season!
Corn Cob Acres is an exciting educational adventure that is fun to discover as a group, a birthday party, or a field trip! We look forward to hosting your group's next outing very soon.
Groups
To qualify for group pricing, you must have at least 20 participants. The group leader must pay for the entire group. Please refer to our Admission page for details on group pricing. Groups are not required to call in advance but may certainly do so if you wish.
Field Trips
In order to accommodate educational field trips for elementary schools, day cares, preschools, clubs, and home school groups, we are open on select weekdays during our fall season. With plenty of bus parking, educational opportunities, and a seemingly endless number of activities, Corn Cob Acres is the ideal place to combine learning with outdoor physical activity.
