Our take

What to Expect

Scamman Farm distinguishes itself with a dual-maze offering: both a traditional corn maze and a hay-bale maze. This is unusual in the region; most farms focus on one or the other. The hay-bale version is typically more accessible for very young children, families with mobility concerns, or anyone unnerved by navigating tall cornfields—it’s smaller-scale and less maze-like, though still a puzzle.

The farm also offers hayrides, making it a multi-activity stop rather than a single maze venue.

The Dual-Maze Advantage

If your family has kids of different ages or skill levels, the two-maze option is genuinely valuable:

  • Hay-bale maze: Lower physical demand, faster completion, works for ages 3+, no intimidation factor from tall crops
  • Corn maze: Traditional navigation challenge, better for ages 6+, longer completion time, more immersive experience

Some groups do one maze per visit; others tackle both. Call the farm to ask how much time to plan if you want to attempt both.

Call 603-686-1258 or check scammanfarm.com to confirm:

  1. When does the farm open in 2026?
  2. What are fall hours (especially October)?
  3. How much does each maze cost? Is there a combined price if you do both?
  4. How much do hayrides cost, and how long are they?
  5. Do all activities run every day, or on a schedule?
  6. Can we bring young toddlers, or do you recommend a minimum age?

How to Plan Your Visit

Call at least a day before your planned visit. Ask about both maze types and whether doing both in one outing is feasible given the farm’s typical crowd and activity schedule.

If you have a mix of ages (toddler plus older kid), ask which maze to prioritize. If crowds are your concern, ask which days and times are quietest.

Bring comfortable shoes and layers. October Seacoast weather is mild during the day but cools at dusk, so a jacket is smart for late-afternoon visits.

Common questions

What's the difference between a corn maze and a hay-bale maze?

A corn maze is navigated through standing cornfields. A hay-bale maze uses stacked bales of hay to create the puzzle paths. The hay-bale version is typically easier and works better for younger children or families who find cornfields intimidating.

Can we do both mazes in one visit?

Probably, but you'll need to plan timing. Call 603-686-1258 to ask how long each maze takes and whether both operate simultaneously.

What's the 2026 opening date?

Not published. Call the farm or check scammanfarm.com.

How much do hayrides cost, and how long are they?

Pricing and duration are not published. Ask when you call 603-686-1258.
