Lyman Orchards 16th Annual Sunflower Maze Sets Opening Date of July 29th
Explore Lyman Orchards‘ family-favorite Sunflower Maze, featuring 350,000 yellow, orange and red sunflowers in the shape of popular cartoon character Clifford the Big Red Dog®. Opening July 29th, 2023, this is an experience that will delight all ages.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will commence at 9AM on opening day of the Sunflower Maze, with a special appearance from Clifford the Big Red Dog® himself. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Clifford® will be taking part in photo opportunities at the Apple Barrel Farm Market.
The 3-acre maze takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and will be open daily from 9AM until 4:30PM. The scenic maze will feature butterflies, yellow finches, and the surrounding orchard hills. Admission costs $11 for adults and $6 for children ages four to 12. Children under three will be admitted for free.
One dollar of every admission benefits Connecticut Children’s Foundation – a health system that focuses exclusively on the health and well-being of children. To date, the Sunflower Maze has raised $178,062 for Connecticut Children’s over the course of a 16-year partnership with Lyman Orchards.
“We look forward to another year of visitors enjoying our Sunflower Maze and the opportunity to highlight Connecticut Children’s,” states Lyman Orchards Executive Vice President John Lyman. “It’s important to recognize all the hard work and care that Connecticut Children’s Foundation does for children battling cancer and for us to give back in any way that we can.”
“We are grateful for the continued support provided by Lyman Orchards,” said Michael Isakoff, MD, Division Head of Hematology and Oncology at Connecticut Children’s. “Year after year, their support provides the resources we need to deliver expert and compassionate care to children battling cancer and to support families. The fact that funds are generated through such a wonderful, family-friendly event makes this especially meaningful.”
After completing the Sunflower Maze, Lyman Orchards visitors can explore the family-friendly destination further through picking their own fruit and purchasing farm-fresh baked goods. Sunflower Maze goers who bring their maze receipt to the Apple Barrel Farm Market will receive 50% off a small, soft-serve ice cream.
