Adult Groups: Adult groups (without children) spend 3 hours on average exploring the farm. Corn Maze Enthusiasts: If your only goal is to conquer the corn maze, allow yourself 1 hour. Many guests find themselves spending an entire day or evening at the Farmyard, so plan accordingly and enjoy your visit!

Comfort and practicality are key when choosing your outfit for the Calgary Farmyard! Footwear: Leave the high heels and dazzling white sneakers at home. Opt for sturdy footwear like running shoes that can handle uneven surfaces and outdoor activities. Clothing: Dress for the weather! Bring sunscreen and a hat on sunny days, and consider layers and an umbrella for cooler or wet days. Be prepared to get a little dirty: It's a farm, after all! Don't wear your fanciest clothes, especially if you plan on playing hard and having fun. Ultimately, the goal is to be comfortable and ready for a day of outdoor adventure!

A visit to the Calgary Farmyard means you'll be outdoors and interacting with a farm environment, which includes pollen, animals, and insects. While we don't have anything out of the ordinary that you wouldn't encounter in other outdoor settings, we recommend bringing any allergy medications or other necessary items to ensure an enjoyable visit.

The Calgary Farmyard is designed for fun at any age! With 40+ attractions, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Little Ones: Young children tend to gravitate towards our playground activities, while still having a blast interacting with the animals and exploring the farm. Adults: Adults often enjoy the challenge of our corn mazes, mini golf, tube tower, farm games, and other engaging activities. Everyone: No matter your age, the animals, jumping pillows, ziplines and the tractor pulled ride are always a big hit! We're confident that everyone in your group, from toddlers to grandparents, will find plenty to do and love at the Farmyard.

We strive to be as accessible as possible, but our farm does have some limitations. The pathways around the main Farmyard area are packed gravel, which can be uneven and bumpy for wheelchairs, strollers, and motorized scooters. We do not recommend wheeled devices in the sunflower and corn maze fields as they have narrow, packed dirt paths.

The corn maze's condition depends on the weather throughout the growing season. Factors like moisture, strong winds, frost, hail, and snow can affect the height and density of the corn. If you're looking for the peak corn maze experience, we recommend visiting in mid-August. Here's a general idea of what to expect: Late July: The corn typically reaches a height of 5 feet or more. While you might be able to see over the top, the paths will still be challenging to navigate! Mid-to-Late August: The corn reaches its peak height (7.5 feet and above) with full density. This is typically the ideal time to visit as the corn stalks are tall, thick, and green. Mid-September/First Hard Frost: The corn starts to turn yellow, and the height and density begin to decrease. Late September to Early October: The corn is fully yellow, ready to be harvested. Common perception is that fall (harvest time) is the best time to experience the maze. Given the lifecycle of corn and Alberta weather patterns, this is generally not the case.

The corn we grow is feed corn for our animals that you meet during your visits! They graze the maze all winter long, eating both the cobs and stalks. They do an excellent job of clearing the corn (and fertilizing the field) so we can replant in the Spring. It's a sustainable way to manage our resources and our animals love it!

Absolutely! We believe that good food is an important part of a great day out, so we offer a variety of delicious options. You'll find: Classic favorites: Chicken tenders, hamburgers, fries, poutine, waffle fries and turkey legs Sweet treats: Mini donuts, soft serve ice cream, kettle cornand more Refreshing beverages: Slushies, smoothies, squeezed lemonade, fountain pop, beer, wine, specialty seasonal drinks (summer margaritas, fall hot ciders) and more. We also have a water bottle refill station on site. We're sure you'll find something to satisfy your hunger and keep you energized for all the fun!
