For over 30 years, Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park has entertained families east of Sioux Falls. There have been many changes to the property over the years, but according to Owner Bruce Aljets, the keys to success have remained the same “Providing an excellent experience still involves great activities in a clean and well-kept environment,” Aljets says. “We’ve always focused on providing the best experience we can for our guests!”
Corn Maze
The great news is that with their Corn Maze attraction, you don’t even have to stay the night to experience what the park has to offer. Open to the public, the Corn Maze at Jellystone Park offers over 7 acres of twists and turns to challenge guests and includes other great amenities, including free mini-golf, use of the Jumping Pillow, and multiple playgrounds in the park. They also have multiple add-ons to your corn maze experience. “We’ve got multiple packages set up for you to have a full day of entertainment that you can choose from.” Tie-die t-shirts, paintable ceramics, and laser tag are some of the available attractions you can add to your corn maze ticket. And don’t forget to get some delicious snacks from the on-site food truck. Food service will be available on-site during corn maze hours throughout the fall. “We’re really set up for a full day of fun out here,” Aljets said. “We’ve really developed the corn maze experience to offer the same great fun that our campground guests are used to. It’s a great opportunity for people in the community to experience the park without having to stay.”
2024 brings back the popular “Moonlight Maze” nights on September 28th and October 5th, 12th, and 19th. According to park manager Ray Aljets, “We have some special activities set up for select evenings at the corn maze this fall. Night-time laser tag, silent disco, and even campfire set-up with s’more packages are available for purchase. Check our website or socials for more information.”
