Challenge your sense of direction at South Sound corn maze

Want a challenging maze, great pumpkin selection and great fall photos, Carpinito Brothers Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze in Kent is the place to check out.

It is a beautiful “you pick” patch so most of the pumpkins are still out in the field. They have a wide variety of pumpkins in different price ranges, which is nice for those on a college budget.
Tiny pumpkins and squash are sold for $1.50. The larger pumpkins sell for 35 cents a pound. The snacks are a bit more expensive for a student budget. A small lemonade is $4 and pre-popped kettle corn is $6 a bag. The smell of kettle corn permeates throughout the farm.

The sasquatch maze is this year’s big attraction at Carpinito Brothers. Upon admission, a paper card with 12 blank spaces and a map is given to help complete the challenge. The maze has 12 posts hidden in it. On the posts are hole punchers for completing the card for each post found. Those able to get through the maze and punch all 12 card spaces are entered in a weekly drawing for a $75 gift card for Red Robin.

The maze is about 3 miles long with corn that is well over 6 feet tall. Leave at least an hour to spare to complete the maze. Entering the maze gets confusing quickly and the map is almost useless. This is definitely not a casual maze to stroll through as many people struggle to find their way out at all. Finding the posts is a tricky venture as they are plain brown or white and are not positioned in obvious places. How to know when you are at the end of the maze? A sign that says exit.

It is an afternoon of light-hearted fun, a great place for a family adventure or for a group of friends to spend the day.
