Bozeman Bale Maze Promises More Than Getting Lost and Confused

The Bozeman Bale Maze is located between the city and Belgrade, Montana along the Valley Center Road.  Each year the owners of the maze create a new design for families to discover.  Past designs have included Bighorn Sheep, farm trucks and even an astronaut planting the flag using just hay bales.

This year, the Bozeman Bale Maze will head to the spookier side of things with an amazing spider web design to confuse and amuse those brave enough to enter the bale maze.  The grounds also feature other attractions for family fun, including a tractor ride through the pumpkin patch, petting zoo, concessions and more.
