Thanksgiving Point is one of Utah's favorite attractions for families, and Halloween activities at Thanksgiving Point kick off this weekend with the opening of Cornbelly's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Fest Friday, Sept. 28. The 12-acre corn maze this year features presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Guests can take the left or right entrance, according to their political preference, and then spend an hour or so navigating to the only exit. At dark, a portion of Cornbelly's becomes "Insanity Point" and creates a more haunted experience for guests who like to get scared.
