Prairie Gardens and Adventure Farm is a working 35-acre family farm with greenhouses, garden centre, strawberry U-Pick, and pumpkin patch with a 7 acre Corn Maze located in scenic Sturgeon County just north of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada at Bon Accord. Prairie Gardens is a great place for gardeners, families and family fun!
Come for our festivals, a group outing, to U-Pick strawberries, or just to get lost in a cornfield maze for a few hours in Edmonton's Countryside. We're famous for our gorgeous hanging baskets, delicious U-Pick Alberta Strawberries in July, the Great Prairie Corn Maze and Haunted Pumpkin Festival every weekend in October!
It's Corn Maze Season in Alberta!

Look up - way up! The corn is almost 3 M tall! Bring your family for a full day of old fashioned fun and activities at the farm. Wagon Rides, Haunted House, Kids Mini-Mazes, and Petting Farm are all included in admission! Try your hand at our brand new Lost Lemon Mine Gem Sluice!
We're located 20 minutes North of Edmonton on 97 St. (HWY 28).
We're open from 10-6 every day, but Mother Nature ripens the strawberries! Availability varies day to day.
