Meuer Farm Headquarters
How big is your group?
The large building in the picture is our maze headquarters. There is a kitchen inside and plenty of seating. You will also find a big TV, the Busy Bee Country Store and plenty of pumpkins/squash/gourds. The activity area is directly behind the main building along with the farm animal exhibit area and straw fort. General parking is on the other side of the driveway. Bus and handicap parking are next to the main building. Watch for signs!
The maze building and activity area are available for rent throughout the year for picnics, parties, graduations, wedding receptions and corporate team building events. A package can be custom tailored to you and/or your group. Please contact us for prices and more information!

Activity Area
Giant 80 foot tube slide sponsored by WI. Tubing; Omro, WI
Our activity area is included with the purchase of every maze or hayride ticket. Activities in this area include the 80' tube slide that you see at right. We have duck races available with 10 pumps for you to race your ducks from one water tank to the other. Our large 12' x 14' corn (sand) box is filled with shell corn for children and adults to play in. It's like walking in quick sand and we even find kids and parents burying each other in it! Corn cannons are available to shoot at targets for a small fee. This activity is supervised at all times when in use. All ages can shoot corn cobs at the targets to win prizes and try to get their cob in the 55 gal. barrel for a prize. The corn cannons shoot over 300 feet. In 2010 we added water balloon sling shots to shoot at targets too!!
All kinds of things are popping up in the activity area this year!!
Mini (Logic) Mazes
There are 2 mini logic mazes on the lawn in the activity area again this year. There is a number maze and a colored line maze. Start at the block marked "enter" and follow the rules to make your way to the block marked "exit". Try your luck and see you "logical" you can be!
Water Balloon Slingshots
These are our water balloon slingshots ! You are shooting at Baker Cheese targets for, what else, string cheese!! You are also shooting at the CAR we have sitting down there. And yes, water balloons do crack windshields!!!! The slingshots are just to the right of the corn cannons. Water balloons come out of the slingshot at 70 mph. Slingshot prices are 3 shots for $2. You can win Golden Maple Root Beer, String Cheese and even $50 if you get your water balloon in the barrel!!!
Hayrides
Another full hayride going out
The hayride travels over 2 miles of trail at the back of our property and includes 5 stops so we can tell you more about what we do here at Meuer Farm. The hayride wagons leave from the deck of the Main Building (it's handicap accessible) and lasts about 45 minutes. You'll pass our herd of beef cattle grazing in the pasture (can you see the calves?), cross the Brothertown Creek, pass by a grove of walnut trees, travel through the woods, view the fields along the south edge of our property and then return to the Main Building. Along the way you'll learn more about beef cattle, the Brothertown Creek, black walnuts, maple trees, bees and conservation measures here on our farm. Be sure to look for turkeys (and their feathers), heron, hawks, chipmunks, sandhill cranes, rabbits and deer. There is a wide range of wildlife that lives here or visits!
Farm Animal Barn
Our Farm Animal Barn is a separate building that is located adjacent to the maze site and away from our free-roaming farm animals. We have dairy cows and calves, beef calves, pigs, goats and chickens (that are started as chicks!). You can interact with the animals in this building and take photographs of them. There are signs explaining each animal's breed and their age. When you finish checking out the animals, walk into the straw fort in the adjoining building and play in the straw mow. There are large straw bales stacked up to crawl around, and under and over. And if you fall off, you land in a pile of loose straw.
Duck Races
Back and forth the ducks go!!!!!!
What are duck races, you say?? Kids and adults place plastic ducks on the runways and pump the water to make the ducks race from one water tank to the other. This is a favorite for young and old alike. We even have adults racing ducks against each other. And, of course, the duck races are located right next to our irrigation pond where we often have real ducks landing!!!!
The Corn Box
Our 12' x 14' Corn Box is just like a sand box, but is filled with shell corn instead. Lots of times we see adults and kids in there playing. A popular attraction for people of all ages. Most times people take their shoes off to feel the corn between their toes. Some say it feels like walking in quick sand!
Corn Cannons
A BIG HIT at the maze each fall are the corn cannons. People shoot cobs of corn at 4' x 4' targets sponsored by Baker Cheese. The cannons use air pressure and are safe to operate for all ages. We do charge for this activity since we have to supervise it. The prices are; 1 shot for $1, 4 shots for $3, and 8 shots for $5. Hit the targets and you win Baker string cheese, drop your cob in the 50 gallon barrel, and we pay you $50! Yes it can be done!! Each fall we post the $50 winners on our Face Book page!
