Built with over 100,000 sunflowers Bowden SunMaze is one of the ultimate Albertan things to do before the snow flies.
Located just 35 mins from Red Deer, Bowden SunMaze, located at the Eagle Creek Farms, is the perfect thing to do for families this weekend. There are lots to do at the farm including a U-Pick, and a corn maze (as well as the SunMaze). Eagle Creek Farm is a Certified Organic farm with a storefront (in case you don’t want to U-Pick some veg…this is a nice and easy way to get some on the way out).
