The MAiZE at Little Darby Creek

The MAiZE at Little Darby Creek, at 8657 Axe Handle Road in Milford Center, centers on an 8-acre corn maze plus a long list of farm activities included with base admission. That list runs from a cow train, low ropes, a petting zoo, and a kiddie maze to laser tag, duck races, a bubble barn, and hole-y cow putt putt. An upgrade called The Works adds cannon shots, a pie pumpkin or a pumpkin blaster shot, paintball, and a hayride to the u-pick patch. Field of Fright is a separate after-dark upgrade and is not recommended for young children. Hayrides fit about 45 to 55 people, and earlier rides are generally less crowded.

Our take: Ride the hayride earlier in the day if you want the pumpkin-patch stop, since after dark it no longer stops there and lines are lighter earlier.
