Woodland Park Zoo and Stocker Farms have teamed up to create a corn maze that will make a difference.
Titled the “More Wonder More Wild” Corn Maze, the zoo-themed corn maze was made to raise awareness for More Wonder More Wild — the zoo’s $80 million campaign to save more animals and habitats in the Northwest and around the world.
While the “More Wonder More Wild” Corn Maze will be open throughout October, the zoo will host a special day at Stocker Farms maze on October 15 filled with activities, prizes, and fun.
Visitors can earn points for wild prizes including zoo admission passes, zoo membership, and animal coloring books for kids. Inside the maze, 16 renditions of a”mazing” endangered animals give clues to complete the maze. Along the way, visitors will learn about the challenges endangered species face in the wild, what Woodland Park Zoo is doing to help them, and how you can be part of the conservation solution.
