Fall is in full swing at Graff 7A Ranch. We’ve got all the deets to help you have the most a-maize-ing experience this year.

It’s corn 🌽
We can’t imagine a more beautiful thing. Think: a new maze layout with thousands of feet of passages to explore. This year, the ranch’s maze design celebrates D’Hanis High School baseball and softball teams on their recent state championship wins.

What’s new?
Graff 7A Ranch is adding some new attractions to its lineup this year. Here are a few that have been listed online.

  • Gaga Ball Pit — Not like the “ra rah-ah-ah-ah” kind. Gaga Ball is a fast-paced, high-energy sport played in an octagonal pit.
  • Tether Ball — Channel your inner Napoleon Dynamite with this popular schoolyard game.
  • Zippity DooDah — Thrill seekers can look forward to new ziplines on the ranch grounds.
  • Zinnia Field — Pick + take pictures in a field of colorful flowers.

New U-pick activities, food, and campfire rentals are subject to additional fees. Check out what’s included with admission.
