Fall in Love with Maize in the City this Season
On Saturday, September 24, 2016, Maize in the City opens for the 2016 season. The site includes the Crazed Corn Maze, a mini maze, a pumpkin field, pony rides, petting zoo, jumping castles, air slides and sand art, among other attractions for the whole family.
The Crazed Corn Maze is a 20-acre maze that is fun for all ages. While visitors navigate their way through the cornfield, they are invited to engage in the one-of-a-kind smart phone trivia game.

The mini maze is a smaller maze perfect for young children. With paper checkpoints, children will collect hole punches as they navigate through the maze. Parents and grandparents are welcome to accompany their children through this maze for free.
Visitors are welcome to explore the pumpkin field and choose from the pumpkin options onsite.
Admission to the pumpkin field and other kid-friendly attractions, such as the playground and corn kernel box, is free.

Fear the Corn at the Haunted Field of Screams
On Friday, September 23, 2016, the Haunted Field of Screams opens its three haunted attractions for the 2016 season: Haunted Field of Screams, Dead Man’s Night Maze and Zombie Paintball Massacre. With more than 35 acres of haunted cornfield, the Haunted Field of Screams is Colorado’s largest haunted attraction.
The Haunted Field of Screams traps individuals in a cornfield containing their worst nightmares. Guided solely by the moonlight, the daunting 16-foot-tall cornstalks surround a trail that contains pure terror behind every corner. Whatever one’s worst nightmare – zombies, clowns, chainsaw wielding madmen – all will be realized while journeying through the cornfield and facing themed rooms that rival every bad dream.
Dead Man’s Night Maze is a revived version of the original corn maze haunt. With wrong turns, neverending pathways and dead ends, getting lost is easy. Endless monsters, zombies and other nightmares stalk travelers every step of the way.
At Zombie Paintball Massacre, survivors must journey through an abandoned farm where the undead wait in the shadows. The objective? To reach the zombie patrol outpost where survivors are trained to use high-powered paintball guns to fight for humankind.
“Each year, we build the attractions from the ground up. This gives us the opportunity to reinvent our haunts and provide a new and thrilling experience for returning visitors,” said Mark Villano, owner and operator of the Haunted Field of Screams. “This year, survivors will have their adrenaline pumping with the newly elevated Zombie Paintball Massacre attraction. With an additional haunt element, survivors will train for the zombie invasion before being sent off into the field to fight for their lives.”
The Haunted Field of Screams is located at 10270 Riverdale Road in Thornton. All three haunts are open Thursday through Sunday at sundown. Haunts close at 10 p.m. on Thursday and Sundays and at midnight on Friday and Saturdays. Tickets for the haunts can be purchased at hauntedfieldofscreams.com.
Started in 2001, the Haunted Field of Screams is Colorado’s largest haunted attraction, with over 35 acres of haunted cornfield and three separate haunted attractions. Located only 15 minutes from downtown Denver, the Haunted Field of Screams provides the most unique and bone-chilling haunt in the area.
Visit our daytime attraction, Maize in the City for family-friendly fall themed fun. Both the Haunted Field of Screams and Maize in the City are located at 10270 Riverdale Road, Thornton CO.
