Albuquerque Maize Maze
Thank you Albuquerque for the best Maize Maze ever! You have come out in hoards to support the Rio Grande Community Farm.
A view from within the Maize Maze
Every Fall, the Maize Maze attracts thousands of visitors to Rio Grande Community Farm. The corn grown through the summer becomes 6 feet or taller – and has paths precisely cut by GPS technology to form the Maze. Proceeds from the Maze fund the special programs that support education, wildlife, and our community.
Come explore a 7-acre corn maze, follow dinosaur tracks, dig for bones, and even play with dino eggs.
Rio Grande Community Farm in partnership with the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science and the City of Albuquerque, Open Space is proud to announce the 2011 “DINO” MAIZE MAZE.
