Help me find the best corn maze in SE PA!

My favorite corn maze in Limerick closed down a few years ago and the ones we've tried since just aren't quite as good. Does anyone have any recommendations for good corn mazes in Bucks, Montgomery or Chester county?

I'm looking for a reasonably difficult maze and I prefer the kind with stations inside. I don't like the kind where you answer questions to determine which direction to go.

It would be extra awesome if there were other things to do at the maze like hay rides or a petting zoo. Thanks!

Don't know about SE PA, but try Howell Living History Farm across the river from Bucks County in NJ. If you go on a Saturday, there's lots of activities to do, including a history demonstration and kids activities. As the name implies, it's a living history farm, so it's as it was at the turn of the century (horse drawn tilling, etc.). I've been told that this place is also good, though never been.

Here's the one we used to go to in PA and wow, it seems to have totally grown. It was fun when it was just a corn maze and an apple orchard and now it's apparently a theme park. Maybe it's still fun. This seems to be a fairly encyclopedic reference site - warning, may make your eyes bleed - here's another link, more MD/DC specific, though.

Leave it to Amish Country to do it big and do it right. The Amazing Maize Maze. Top off the day with dinner at Shady Maple, and you have perfection.

By the by, you wouldn't be referring to the Church of the Bretheran Maze on Township Line Rd, would you? That was always pretty good, and the video about you going to hell was always, well, damn entertaining.

I've been meaning to pester you (I live in Royersford) Give me a holler via aim or email- info's in the profile.

Seconding potch's suggestion. Cherry Crest Farm is great.

Response by poster: It was on Township Line Road, potch, but there was no Hell video that I recall. Now I feel like I missed out!

These suggestions are great. Kind of far, but they all seem worth the trip. Thanks.

There's always Freddy Hill's Fallfest (Sumneytown Pike in Lansdale, PA). They have a big corn maze among other autumnal joys.
