A Wonka-themed maze is opening this week in Massachusetts
Visitors can go on a "candy-coated" adventure in search of a golden ticket.
Attention, Willy Wonka fans: Your quest for a golden ticket can become a reality at a Massachusetts farm this fall season.
Davis Mega Maze in Sterling, recently named among the top mazes in America by USA Today, will debut “The Wonka Maze” on Saturday, a maze inspired by the the 1971 hit movie “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.”
Mazers will embark on a “candy-coated adventure” through three miles of “mind-boggling puzzle networks,” the farm wrote in a press release. Visitors can hunt for a golden ticket within the eight-acre Wonka maze “and enjoy sweet treats (if you can find them)” along the way, according to organizers.

The maze isn’t the only fall fun on the grounds. Davis Mega Maze includes more than 60 attractions, including the Zip Zone Zip Line, Cannon Blasters, Rainforest Reptile Shows, and more. There is also live music, with regional bands playing everything from country to folk to blue grass to classic rock.
Hungry mazers have plenty of options, with seven food tents serving treats like apple cider doughnuts, gourmet fried dough, Kansas City smoked burnt end cheesesteak, and smoked gouda mac and cheese. Locally crafted beers and other specialty fall cocktails are also available.
Davis Mega Maze is open on Saturdays and Sundays between Sept. 28 and Oct. 27, as well as on Columbus Day. Visitors should check the website at 8 a.m. before attending as the attraction is open weather permitting and officials will make closing announcements at that time.
