This is actually my first corn maze EVER. If they're all like the Meadowbrook Haunted Cornfield, it won't be the last!
After getting your wrist=bands, you head over to the bonfire where you'll hear some spooky ghost stories. What Meadowbrook does best is create suspense. Combine that with the great scenery, and you are in for a treat!
We were there early so there wasn't a wait for us to enter the maze. Even before we entered, we could HEAR it. The screams, the howling, the witch cackling... they really set the mood for what you're about to experience. There are multiple themes through-out the maze such as a pirate ship, aliens, red=necks, spiders, clowns, etc...
Speaking of clowns, I have a confession: I've never really found them to be scary. More like annoying. There, I said it. Most haunts have them in a 3D type room, or a room full of bright colors. Not scary... to me they were more of a distraction than anything. Meadowbrook was not only my first corn maze, it was also the first and only haunt with clowns that scared the heck out of me! They looked scary, and they jumped out at us more than once. I take back every time I rolled my eyes at seeing clowns in a haunt.
Just being outdoors in the middle of a corn field at night is creepy. I can't tell you how many times we stopped because we heard something, but it was only the wind blowing through the corn stocks. They use lighting and sounds effects to make an already scary walk through a corn field terrifying.
I won't give anything away in this review, as I want you to experience the corn maze in all it's glory without any big spoilers. But my hats off to Meadowbrook Farm. You had us jumping, screaming and laughing more in your maze than several haunted houses combined.
