Attractions
The Maze of Hochatown
At 29,000 square feet of winding wooden pathways built from a full mile of fencing, the Maze of Hochatown is one of the largest outdoor mazes in the region.
To officially complete the maze, visitors must locate hidden stamp stations throughout the labyrinth and fill in a game card, adding a scavenger hunt element that keeps things interesting well past the first dead end. Internal towers and staircases let participants gain elevation for a bird’s-eye view of where they’ve been. A central canopy with fans keeps things tolerable during summer heat.
General admission runs $20 for adults and $15 for children 4-12, with kids 3 and under free. The layout changes regularly throughout the year, so repeat visitors get a new challenge. The adjacent Chili Dippers Golf Club shares the parking lot and makes for a natural pairing for an afternoon.
