    A visitor writes on October 17, 2010: "Fees are $10 for both children AND adults. I called ahead of time to get 1st time pointers & they failed to tell me that they are a cash-only facility (no checks or credit cards are accepted). There is an ATM machine on site, but you end up paying additional fees. I was also told that no outside food/beverages were allowed in. Their food & drinks have to be purchased with tickets sold within the maze, and their prices are way too high. I recommend that you eat prior or after visiting the maze so that you can get your money's worth. All the activities were fun & entertaining for the children and our kids did have a good time. Our visit to this maze lasted about two hours."
