“Bring flashlights if you plan to navigate the paths after sunset.”
Crossroads Corn Maze is a seasonal outdoor attraction in Wendell featuring a giant path cut through a local cornfield. Visitors can test their navigation skills while wandering through the towering stalks. Before you pack up the kids, keep a few logistics in mind. While admission to the farm is free, you will want to wear closed-toe shoes because the ground is uneven and dusty. The paths can accommodate sturdy jogging strollers, but traditional umbrella strollers will struggle in the dirt. Portable restrooms are available on-site, and parking is free in the designated grass lot. This is an easy, low-stress afternoon outing for parents who want to get the kids outside without spending a fortune. Since it stays open until 9:00 pm on Friday, you can arrive right before dusk to let the older kids navigate the paths with flashlights.

A Raleigh mom walks through all eight expiration dates, how to apply at any point in the year, the CEP sibling gap that catches families with kids at two schools, and what meals actually cost.
