Sunflower Maze:
A beautiful maze filled with over a dozen different types of sunflowers that make it a great spot for photos and a place to enjoy the grace of these beautiful flowers.

The Center Parking Lot is the place for great food and snacks. You'll also find shaded picnic tables and hay bales for sitting. 

The Petting Farm: Our animals are some of the cutest and friendliest petting animals around. Meet and greet our furry friends with over 20 lovable goats, sheep (including our own celebrity Oreo), a calf, and a surprise or two. Feed cups are available for $3 apiece. The Cow Train closes at 6 p.m., so plan accordingly.

Moo Moo Cow Train: 
We moved the Cow Train, and it's bigger and wilder than ever! Ride on an antique tractor-pulled Happy Cow Train car traveling around the petting farm pasture. The Cow Train closes at 6 p.m., so plan accordingly.

Large Corn Maze: It’s a crazy web of twisting, turning trails that will leave you scratching your head searching for the way out. This corn is not for the faint of heart, but don’t worry: there’s always a way out. The corn maze closes at 6 p.m., so plan accordingly.

Hay Wagon Ride: Enjoy touring the farm at Kellogg Ran on a hay wagon ride pulled by one of our antique tractors restored, maintained, and driven by the members of the Western Antique Power Associates (WAPA). It circles the corn maze and some of the growing fields. Your student tour guide will share some info on things going on at the farm. The hay wagon rides close at 6 p.m., so plan accordingly.
