La Union Maze is not responsible for any claims of COVID-19 contractions. Visit at your own risk. Masks are not required, but are welcomed.
We are currently developing our COVID-19 protocols and guidelines based on the CDC and New Mexico states recommendations, which will be applied as much as possible, considering we are a farm/outdoor venue. We want to ensure the safety of our employees and customers and we will provide a more detailed update in the near future.
In the case of inclement weather, we only offer rain checks if your visit was less than 2 hours. We may close or delay opening if inclement weather persists for more than 30 minutes. Depending on the condition of the grounds, some or all attractions may close. We will also post on our social media pages should we need to close for the day or delay opening. If you do not redeem your tickets, we can reschedule them for another day. Please note that under our terms and conditions, "All sales are final. No refunds or returns. Farm hours and operating days are subject to change without notice due to weather or other reasons. In the event of inclement weather, La Union Maze may close attractions without notice."
Pets are NOT allowed at La Union Maze, the only exception being service dogs.
Don't worry we also love our pets, so every last Sunday of the season we have our annual Bring Your Dog to the Maze Day! However, this year the date is on hold due to pending state opening guidelines and regulations.
Shot records are required.
One dog per family.
Please pick up after your dog.
Dogs MUST stay on a leash.
The best time to visit the Maze is opening weekend. The busiest weekends include the three weekends in the middle of October (aka Peak Days). The first and last weekend of October are not as busy. We are still working on our opening protocol to reflect New Mexico's opening guidelines.

September and early October tend to be warm, but it does get chilly at night in the upper valley. So make sure to layer with a sweater or light jacket. We do recommend comfortable shoes (no high heels- you'll get stuck in the mud), clothes that you do not mind getting dirty, and a hat or umbrella for shade. Don't forget to bundle up the little ones for those cold nights in the late part of October and early November! FYI our rainy season ends in late September and on days that it does rain it may change our hours of operation. Feel free to call 915-549-1323 or check out our social media on Facebook or Instagram to see if hours have changed. Bring insect repellant as well! We have some available for sale, but we don't mind if you bring your own!
Our beautiful lush 10 acre maze can be a challenge, but that is the fun of it! It can take from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. We do provide maps and numbered posts to guide you. If you do feel lost you can find a Corn Cop for assistance.
We want to keep the maze in great shape for everyone to enjoy so please follow the rules posted at the entrances. Please respect the maze and give others the opportunity to enjoy it. Also any breaking of those rules can get you thrown out. Thank you for your cooperation!
Strollers and wheelchairs do better after we have been open for a couple of weeks. The ground becomes more compact due to all the traffic, making it easier to navigate strollers and wheelchairs. There is a wheelchair lift available for the wagon ride to the pumpkin patch. Please let an employee know if you require one.
Report your missing items to the ticket office as soon as you notice they are missing. La Union Maze is not responsible for any items lost or stolen. Please keep your items secure. Losing your items might spoil the fun, so take some precautions by locking your car doors, hiding items, and being aware of your personal belongings.
Sorry, no outside food or drink is allowed. Food and drinks are available to purchase from our concessions stand, gift shop, and food stands.
We are so sorry, but we do not allow visitors to enter the pumpkin patch without an entrance ticket during the weekend. Please feel free to come during the week to purchase from our stand (sorry, we do not offer rides to the pumpkin patch during the week). We have over 30 varieties of pumpkins. Pumpkins are sold by the pound. We accept cash and card (Visa, Mastercard, and Discover).
*In order to comply with contactless transactions, at this point we are requesting that all payments be cashless if possible.
