Shindig Farms Straw Maze & Pumpkin Patch

Shindig Farms in the Treasure Valley calls its straw maze Idaho's largest, with 8-foot walls that take about 30 to 45 minutes and a stop to learn uses of straw. A wagon hayride included with general admission runs to a pumpkin patch of more than 15 varieties, and those rides close at dark. A 100-foot zipline, giant slide, corn pit, straw pyramid, and jump pad are in general admission. A mechanical bull, swing ride, corn cannon, and axe throwing need extra tickets. On select Friday and Saturday nights the maze is haunted, with a separate ticket and a late last-call. The farm is closed Sundays.

Our take: Go before dark if you want the pumpkin patch and wagon ride, since both close at dark and are not offered during haunted hours.
