Quick Picks: Get lost in fun at Beachmont

Beachmont outshines others with its vast amount of activities beyond just fall fun and offers delightful treats.

The Beachmont corn maze was complicated enough but not overly frustrating.

It was the perfect length, six acres long. Not so long that I was dying for a bathroom, but also not so short that I was thinking where the heck is the rest of the maze.The maze is based off Baltimore’s two home teams, the Ravens and the Orioles.In the maze, visitors are taken through a journey of Baltimore teams including their great moments and recent victories.Do well on the maze, and you may even get into The Hall of Fame, which commemorates corn maze winners.

Not only does Beachmont have a corn maze, but also other activities like a rubber duck race, a baseball throw, a corn bag toss, a hayride, and much more.For younger kids, Beachmont also offers a much shorter straw bale maze.

Also, every Friday and Saturday night from 6:30-10 p.m., there are flashlight nights and bonfires where you can go through the maze in the dark.

Beachmont also has a variety of pumpkins for sale along with food and drinks. The hot apple cider was delicious and provided warmth from the cold weather. Other items on the menu are hot dogs, pretzels, s’mores, etc.Drinks include water, hot chocolate, soda, and Gatorade.

Don’t worry about money. Just bring your allowance or scrounge up some loose change from your couch cushions.

For adults ages 12 and up, the admission fee is ten dollars. Kids from ages three to 11 have an entry fee of eight dollars. Kids two and under are admitted for free.Additionally, anyone wearing any Ravens or Orioles attire gets a dollar off their entry fee.
