A seasonal playground returns this weekend in western Patterson, with puzzles, a pumpkin patch and vegetable projectiles meant to appeal to both children and adults.

Fantozzi Farms Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch opens Saturday, Sept. 29, at 2550 Sperry Ave., just east of the Delta-Mendota Canal .

It will be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays until Nov. 4.

The 25-acre corn maze includes more than 5 miles of paths with 12 hidden checkpoints for “explorers” to find. Flashlights are required.

A haunted maze will be open Friday and Saturday nights in October, from 7 p.m. until closing.

In the farm’s courtyard, visitors can climb on hay bales, watch pig races and explore several other attractions, including corn cannons people can use to shoot an ear of corn and see how far it can fly ($3 for five shots or $5 for 10 shots).

Entrance to the corn maze and courtyard costs $9 for adults and $7 for children ages 5 to 12 and is free for younger children with a paying adult. Entrance to just the courtyard is $5 per person; infants up to a year old are admitted free.

Combination admission to the courtyard, regular corn maze and haunted corn maze, on Fridays and Saturdays only, is $12 for adults, $10 for children ages 5 to 12 and free for children 4 and younger.

Parking and entrance to the pumpkin patch are free.

Fantozzi Farms Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays.
