October is a scream

The Corn Maze at Salisbury Farm was the first maze of its kind in New England. With over a mile of paths through five acres of corn, it’ll challenge your memory, teamwork and sense of direction.

There’s also a pumpkin patch and hayrides for daytime festivities. 11 Peck Hill Road, Johnston. 401-942-9741, www.salisburyfarm.com
