The Maize at Little Darby Creek

The MAiZE at Little Darby Creek is celebrating a major milestone this fall as the family-owned Union County attraction opens for its 25th season on Saturday, September 26.

New for 2026 two new experiences are joining the farm's lineup this season:

  • Barnyard Rail Riders – Guests power their own ride as they travel down a rail, adding a fun new hands-on activity to The MAiZE's collection of family attractions.
  • Highland Hugs Animal Encounters – Guests can get up close with Fiona, The MAiZE's micro Highland cow, during a special ticketed animal encounter. Highland Hugs offer participants an opportunity to meet, interact with and learn more about Fiona in a small-group experience.
