A Six-Acre Tribute to Dolly Parton

The design celebrates Parton's legacy while also incorporating the theme “An American Treasure,” connecting the attraction to the country's 250th anniversary.

Once you're inside, you're not simply wandering through rows of corn hoping to stumble across the exit. Visitors can take part in a Dolly-themed trivia challenge using a trivia passport. Answer the questions correctly, and you can receive clues to help navigate the maze.

There are also two entrances, including an easier route and a more challenging route, giving families and experienced maze-goers different ways to experience it.

The entire experience can take 30 minutes or more, depending on your route and how quickly you manage to find your way out.

The project had been in development for nearly three years, meaning the maze was planned long before Parton's death in August 2026. But its timing has made the tribute particularly poignant.
