Happy Day Farm, 97 Daum Road, Manalapan, will debut this year’s corn maze on Sept. 21. The Stockel family, in partnership with maze designer Brett Herbst, has created this year’s design in the shape of the Super Bowl logo.
Although the correct pathways can be walked in under 30 minutes, most directionally challenged visitors will require about one hour to travel through more than 2 miles of twists and turns and 85 decision points.
The farm hours are Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The cost is $13 per person, and free for children age 2 and under. Discounts are offered for families, groups and field trips. For more information or to make reservations, call 732-977-3607 or visit HappyDayFarmNJ.com.
