Cherry Crest Adventure Farm

I’m here at Cherry Crest Farm with my son and daughter. What an amazing place! So many fun activities to do for young kids. There’s a corn maze that looks pretty cool too. The staff are really friendly and take a lot of pride in this place. And there’s a real life coal burning locomotive that you can ride on. Pretty cool way to spend a fall day!

I LOVE this place. My dad and and I (and various family and/​or friends) have been going to the maze since its first year back in 95 or 96 with the train maze. Every year it keeps getting bigger and better. I love getting «lost» for some time, some years its 40 some minutes and one infamous year we were in the maze for about 3 hours trying to get every single last piece. (The friend I brought that year still tells the story and swears she will never step into another maze again because of me). I love now that its more than just the maze, its all the other activities available. This year we brought my 5 year old nephew and him and my aunt did the yellow easy maze and then did activities while the rest of us got out. It was fun walking around and doing all the free stuff.
This is a place that I speak highly of and recommend to EVERYONE. I keep coming back year after year for some fun.

Plenty of parking and was able to grab a spot close to the entrance. Admission was 20 $ per person when I went on a Saturday BUT they have military discounts to cut the Service members ticket price in half. This put a smile on my face. I always appreciate an establishment that does a little something for veterans. The food was fine for the venue. I had a chicken fingers basket w/​Fries, cheeseburger and roasted corn for about 18 $. The baby chicks were cute and you can hold them in your hands. I remember doing that years ago when I went here as a child. The pig races were also fun to watch. The main excitement was the corn maze that can not be beat by any other farm. This is by far the best corn maze I have been too. I love the map they give you and you need to find each puzzle piece to get to the exit. It took me and a partner about 1 ½ hrs. Wont hesitate to return next year or to bring friends and family.

What a wonderful place! This is the second year we brought our children, and it is always packed with fun. We spent over seven hours playing, and the cost of admission was worth it! Good food, friendly service, and lots of great activities make for a solid day’s outing. Strongly recommend for all ages, and you must go through the corn maze.

We took my 2 year old son here and arrived later than what we planned, all the food kiosks were closed, but we had a lot of fun with the animals and just a great place for a non stop running around little boy to have fun. I really liked the age appropriate things that he could enjoy! Such a great place for all of us to enjoy. He loves animals, and petting them, feeding them. He loves just running around and exploring! They have so many things to do, from animals to mazes to the big bouncy playground. My son had a blast. Which is the most important thing!
Only thing is that we arrived late in the afternoon and all the fun food kiosks were closed, no funnel cake for us: (… Other than that, we are definitely coming back. So nice to be outside with no electronics and just family fun.

Year after year, the folks at Cherry Crest Farm put together a great maze. My kids are grown and gone but my wife and I still had a blast finding our way through the corn maze.
We’ll be back next year for sure!

Wow I never thought corn mazes would be this fun! I went here on Saturday night with my friends. We were coming from New York so I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I honestly thought it was some dingy little maze in the middle of nowhere. Mind you it was in the middle of nowhere but it certainly wasn’t dingy. I was very pleasantly surprised! There were snacks, food, shops, other smaller games, and the atmosphere in general was very fall festival like. The maze itself was huge! I can tell how anyone would get lost here. When you do the corn maze challenge, they have three different levels — easy, intermediate, and advanced. The first two levels are set up with clues to lead you out and to fill up the game board (very similar to a scavenger hunt). But the advanced is a bit harder and there are pretty much no clues and you’re left to your own devices to find your way out — especially difficult at night. We foolishly decided to do the advanced but somehow ended up doing the intermediate level and got to the other side in an hour. It was so much fun though! There’s no real creepy element to it either because there are tons of people around. When we got to the end, I got some cider donuts. Man I can get obese on those donuts. So good! Totally coming back if given the chance!

Awesome. Worth a trip from NYC for kids of. all ages. Will definetely return many more times. Tons of activities

Highlight of our trip. This was our second time visiting (last time was in 2012) and the kids had a blast. Well worth the $ 15 admission and there’s enough to do to fill an entire day, if not 2 days! Corn maze was also great. highly highly recommended.
So much better than the amusement parks that try to impress you while at the same time charging you for everything but the air.

This is a super fun place to bring the young ones. They have a bunch of attractions from the Amazing Maize maze, animal petting cages, a hella long slide you fly down in a burlap sack to a short hayride. I’m told they also vary the attractions each year to keep it fresh. I particularly liked petting the giant llama. They have feeder dispensers but the llama would beat me to punch every time by craning his long neck through the fence and slurping the little morsels directly from the feeder! What a cheeky bastard!
My nephews had an awesome time flying down the giant slide. That burlap sack might as well be made out of lightning bolts — feels like you streak down in a blur! I had a blast and would definitely like to go back again.
Oh yeah, I can’t forget the huge locomotive train they have on premises «choo-​chooing» away. Any Thomas the train aficionado would go nuts over it.

It’s an amazing place for families. The kids LOVED it. Holding the chicks was a big hit. You’ll spend many hours having fun there.

Holy crazy awesome, Batman!
We were having dinner on the Strausberg Train, when we passed the Cherry Crest Farms. The announcer/​conductor mentioned that it had one of the largest corn mazes in the area (I think it’s 5 acres?), and that they did night-​time «flash light maze». Um, what what???
So as soon as we pulled back into the station, my husband and I raced to our car, and tore down the road like a bat out of hell to get here.
And it was GLORIOUS.
To start with, this wasn’t just some farm with a corn maze to make a little extra dough for the fall. This was more like a small fair. There were stands with food and other stuff and evidently, if you called ahead, you could rent out your own little campfire for your party. OMG why didn’t we know about this awesome?
So, we came, and paid the fee (I already forgot what it was, but it’s like $ 12/​person I think?)…and found out that the flashlight doesn’t come with the price. Since we’re from Washington DC (and we travel the world hitting up tourist traps) we were totally expecting a crazy price gouge for the flashlights… nope, it’s only $ 4. Which is what I would have paid at a drugstore.
So the Maze. Yeaaaaaaaaah.
When you hear «5 acres of fun» you think «oh boy oh boy this is going to be great!». But, when you are actually *IN* the maze, you realize «holy crap, that is a lot of fucking maze to walk through!».
So the maze starts out with a little orientation by the staffer. You are given a «game board» which has sections where you need to find clues in the maze. These clues will lead you to a «mailbox» which will have a peice of a map to the maze. There are 15 peices. Once you get all 15, you will have a complete map of the maze, and you can (hopefully) find your way out.
We were in there for 2 hours and only ended up with 8 or 9 of the peices. HAHA! But we still found our way out. Eventually.
It was actually remarkably fun — especially if you’re in a big group (you can split up and the first group to finish the maze wins — and you’ll know, because those who finish the maze gets to make an announcement over the intercom… there were a lot of trash-talking…haha), or if you have teenagers. However, if you’re old (like us), about 20 minutes in, I was trying to call for a cab to come find me and take me out of the maze. HAHA!
No seriously, it was great fun. Although, because the maze is so big, we were definitely lost for most of it. More fun was the announcements over the intercom when the staffers were like «KEVIN, please exit the maze immediately, your party is looking for you. Exit the maze immediately»…because poor Kevin was probably lost (he was probably the poor guy that was following us).

Fall fun paradise. It had everything you wanted in a wholesome fall festival from a pumpkin patch to a potato sack slide to pitching cages to a baby chick petting station to a historic train ride.
The fresh made potato chips were very good and the cider donuts were the best ones I’ve ever had.
A fun date and I’d imagine it would be just as fun for kids.
Only an hour from Philly.

corn mazes, petting zoo, face painting, jumping pillow (my son spent hours here) pony rides etc. so much to do here we honestly didn’t see every attraction but we look forward to coming back,
Overall a great place to spend time with your family.

Great place to take kids… there is just a TON of stuff to do… you keep going and going and find more and more. Plenty of things to do for even the littlest ones. My favorite was being able to hold baby chicks and a one week old goat.

We go every year, and usually set the maze record. (We were one minute off this year. Until next July!) They keep adding more and more to do for people of all ages. Last time, I got my picture taken with a 3 day old goat. If you haven’t gone here the last 20 years, start going the next 20.

I have been here multiple times with the kids and have always enjoyed the experience. It’s clean, family friendly, and a great value. Every person I’ve ever dealt with from their staff has been courteous and knowledgable.
In the interest of full disclosure I have NEVER gone through the maize maze. I’m from Lancaster county and grew up with a big corn field in the back yard, so, I’ve done it already. The fact that I’ve skipped such a major part of their attractions and still had a fabulous time says a lot about what they have to offer.

Another year and another decent visit to Cherry Crest.
We always go during the early spring season to avoid the crowds that the Amazing Maize Maze brings when it opens in early July.
The Courtyard side is undergoing some large renovations for 2012 and maybe we’ll return with the Boomerang Pass to see the new changes.
The three negatives worth pointing out from this year’s visit:
1. There is no water fountain anywhere. I swear I remember one or two in the past but, no more.
2. The food prices are out of line.
$ 2.89 for a hot dog? $ 2.00 for a watermelon slice? Gouge and ripoff.
2. The girl working at the Giant Hay Chute Slide around five was a freakin’ tool.
At about 10 minutes before five, when everything else was still open, she decides to start packing the burlap sacks away and tells every kid coming up to her that «We’re like um closing soon so you’ll need to go do something else».
That worked until about 6 or 7 children started coming over and then she began throwing the sacks on the ground for them to pick up until she noticed some parents coming over and then she began «handing them out» but did it with a shitty eye-​rolling look on her face.
Aside from that tool, everybody else was great and we’ll no doubt be back in the future.

So a friend and I decided to go to the Amazing Maize Maze (!!!) when we were drinking one night. The next day, we’re on the road and very excited.
We get there and as we’re driving up, we realize that this place is popular! The gigantic parking lot is nearly full and throngs of families are making their way inside. No wonder! It’s kid heaven in there! It’s really like a small amusement park with the maze as a big attraction.
The maze itself is pretty cheesy with the «tour guide» and the Pennsylvania theme, but kids like it I guess. Finding all the clues and game pieces did actually make it more fun. I wish I went with a bigger group of friends. It would’ve been fun to race each other!
Other highlights of the venue — the fresh roasted corn on the cob, the big slides in the back, pumpkin picking and getting to hold the little baby chicks. Seriously, adorable.

Its the amazing maize maze! Its massive, its a lot of fun, and believe me, after you pass the same spot 6 times, youre looking for the exit!

I never did a corn maze before. It was really pretty cool. At the same time, its really frustrating.
It was also a corn festival day, so there was lots of other stuff to do. Theres games, food (all revolving around corn. Mmm, corn dogs), a petting zoo, hay rides… I think a lot of that stuff is there normally tho. But they have additional stuff going on like corn eating contests.
To put it simply, this is a really fun (and tiring) day out. you need to try it out!
Its about 15 $ per person for adults for an all day pass.
