La Union Maze opens this weekend with alien invasion theme
EL PASO, Texas (CBS4) — La Union Maze in Dona Ana County is set to open this weekend for the Fall with a theme that's out of this world.
This year's maze design includes an alien and a flying saucer.
"We have our main maze, which is on 12 acres, and this year's theme is space and aliens and crop circles. So it's really challenging," said the maze's office manager, Karoline Sundgeroth.
The corn maze is just one of 16 activities at La Union Maze. There's a smaller flower maze, better suited for children, wagon rides to the pumpkin patch, farm animals, zip lines, jumping pillows, a playground and picnic area and other activities for children and adults of all ages.
This is the 23rd year of operations for the maze, and it's continuing to grow each year. This year, the crew added a new mega slide and rodeo shows every first and third weekend of the month.
"Being around this long does really does mean a lot to us. We're excited to continue doing what we're doing, to continue to grow and share this fall, farm experience with our Borderland, " Sundgeroth said.
The maze opens to the public beginning Saturday, September 23. It will be open Fridays from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The maze will stay open until November 6. Special hours will be added October 11-13 for Fall Break.
