Halloween Fun

Today I want to share a special place with you to take your family for the Fall/Halloween season. The place is Wieck's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch. This is a place for natural, outdoor, family fun time.

The Wieck's grow and create a 20 acre corn maze shaped like the local region of Texas and surrounding areas. You can wander around as you like in a real corn field with corn on the stalks. Paths are cut all through the field just like highways on a map. It's cool!

They also grow their own pumpkin patch for you to come pick your own pumpkins. If you don't want to pick your own, find one that they have already picked and brought to the pumpkin wagons. I personally saw how they clear a path literally by hand through the pumpkin patch, picking pumpkins out of the way one by one. Get some to decorate, make into Jack-O-Lanterns, or to make pumpkin pie (I did and they are yummy).They said there are 95 varieties grown this year. Just look at some of the different pumpkins!

Here I am harvesting a pumpkin!

There are things for kids to climb on, small farm animals to see, cut-outs to take your picture at, a place to sit and relax, and more. You should see the corn slide. Slip down the slide and land in bushels of dry farm grown corn. Come check it out.

Individuals, families, and large groups are welcome. Bring your school group, church group, business group, tour buses. They like groups to call ahead so they can prepare for your group. There is plenty to see and do. Experience the Fall season in the great outdoors at Wieck's. Located north of Etter, Texas. Call to check times, directions, and weather conditions. It is outdoors, so dress for the weather that day and have fun!
