Lyman Orchards Guitar Sunflower Maze! Now Closed for the season!
Thank you for visiting our Sunflower Maze, and helping to support Connecticut Children's Medical Center! We look forward to seeing you next year!
Despite a later opening, we enjoyed a great season! When in full bloom, the view was spectacular.
If you didn't get to our maze this year, read more about it! We hope you can visit next year and help support Connecticut Children's Medical Center!
Exploring the maze is always lots of fun, and the best news is that each visit helps support the fight against pediatric cancer!
Bring your family, your friends, and your camera. The awesome views can be enjoyed from the maze viewing platform as well as from the surrounding orchard hillsides.
Better yet, enjoy it right up close!
Take a nature walk among the towering stalks, along the winding pathways as you try finding your way to the exit. There are many, many ways to get lost, but only one way out!
Get lost for fun, and for a great cause!
We are donating $1 of every admission ticket to the pediatric cancer unit of Connecticut Children's Medical Center (CCMC) in Hartford.
Kids can't fight cancer alone! Your visit to our Sunflower Maze will go a long way in helping CCMC continue to offer Connecticut families the best pediatric care in our state.
To date, we have donated more than $17,000 to CCMC since opening our first Sunflower Maze two years ago.

The Story Behind the Design!
When it comes to designing an agricultural maze, there's always a lot taking place behind the scenes, and this story is particularly heartwarming!
This year's design is configured into a super-sized guitar!
Wonder how we came up with the Guitar idea? After ten years of designing mazes, experience has taught us that children, not adults, are naturally gifted at solving a maze.
Inspired by this notion, we went straight to the experts. We asked the kids at CCMC to help us come up with some good ideas for a design.
Kids are naturally creative, and they submitted many wonderful ideas for our new maze. The final design idea was determined by popular vote in an online contest sponsored by one of Connecticut's most popular radio stations, The River 105.9.
We then sent the winning idea to world-renowned Corn Maze designer Brett Herbst, who magically transformed our 3 acre sunflower field into this amazing guitar design! Brett designs more than 200 mazes throughout the world every year. Our Sunflower Maze is the only maze of sunflowers he designs - it's truly one-of-a-kind!
We've had a lot of fun planning and creating our new Sunflower Maze, and we hope you enjoy an amazing visit!
