Half-Off Certificates for A-Maze-In Grace Corn Maze

Carolyn | 09/30/2010 | 0 Comments

Still looking for a deal on fall fun? I found this certificate for 50% off admission to A-Maze-In Grace corn maze at KICT’s halfofffridays.com. Pay $25 for $50 worth of certificates and receive them in the mail 7-10 days later.

This might be perfect for a group, but it won’t be much good if you only plan to go once with your small family. Regular adult admission is $8, kids between the ages of 6 and 12 are $6, and kids 5 and under are free.

This Saturday, October 2nd, and next Saturday, October 9th, the Eagle Valley Raptor Society will be there from 5-7p.m.. A-Maze-In Grace will also have live music on Saturday evenings from 5 – 7 p.m. on October 9th, 16th, and 23rd.

Know of any other discounts for A-Maze-In Grace corn maze? Please tell us about it in the comments!
