SOUTHWEST CITY (Mo.) -- Right Choices Corn Maze is now open for its 11th season. The maze is designed with a different theme each year.

Families will enjoy many activities in addition to exploring the eight-acre corn maze. The hay ride along Elk River and the cow train ride through the corn are family favorites. Kids and teens enjoy the giant corn jump, and everyone has a great time shooting the corn cannon. Folks can pick their pumpkins from the pumpkin patch as well.

There are special events going on most weekends -- gospel and contemporary Christian music concerts, an antique tractor show, horse-drawn wagon rides, pony rides, and marshmallow roasts.

Right Choices Corn Maze is located at 1161 Manning Road, 7 miles North of Southwest City, Mo. The maze is open to the public on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sundays from 12 to 8 p.m. Schools and home-school groups can also schedule weekday field trips.
