Use the Force to find your way to Baby Yoda in this Tri-Cities corn maze

The Baby Yoda craze has spread to Pasco in the form of an eight-acre “Mandalorian” corn maze.

Middleton Six Sons Farms carved the timely-themed maze for its annual fall festival at 1050 Pasco-Kahlotus Road in Pasco.

“The last 2 years have been tough for both kids and adults — we wanted to offer a fun place to let your imagination come to life!” said a post on the Middleton Farms Fall Festival’s Facebook page.

The Mandalorian is a Star Wars spin-off TV series that streams on Disney+, featuring a bounty hunter hired to find “The Child” — who’s come to be known as Baby Yoda.

The festival opens Saturday, Sept. 18, and runs through Oct. 31.

If the massive corn maze is too much for the youngest adventurers, there also is a maze designed for smaller kids.

The festival also offers hay rides, a pumpkin patch, a grain train, a barrel train, slides, ball pits and more.

Private firepits are available to rent, with a regular size that can accommodate up to 30 and large pits that can warm up to 75.

Food, drinks and homemade cider and donuts are available for purchase on site.

Middleton Six Sons Farm in Pasco, WA revealed the corn maze theme for the annual Middleton’s Fall Festival which kicks off in the Tri-Cities this year on Sept. 18. The maze is a tribute to one of the families’ favorite shows, The Mandalorian.
