11 Must-See Corn Mazes Across The USA Before Fall Slips Away
Corn mazes are labyrinths of twisting paths that manage to be equal parts charming and wildly frustrating. But there’s always something really fun about wandering around in tall rows of corn while trying not to embarrass yourself by shouting “I’m lost!” every five minutes.
It’s a staple of the season, a quintessential fall activity that somehow turns aimless wandering into a badge of honor. And across the USA, you’ll find these mazes engineered to challenge your sense of direction (and patience). Sometimes they are even sprinkled with trivia, hidden clues, and enough dead ends to make your head spin.
The beauty of these mazes, though, is how each one has its own unique flair (from jaw-dropping designs to quirky themes). Plus, let’s not forget those perfect opportunities to feel like a kid again.
So whether you emerge triumphant or get lured into yet another dead end, one thing’s for sure: you’ve got to make time for this classic fall adventure. Let’s take a look at some of the best ones across the country.
Bishop’s Orchards – Guilford, Connecticut
Right off the bat, a pizza-themed corn maze sounds like the kind of thing you need in your life. Bishop’s Orchards in Guilford takes your love for pizza and slaps it right into a four-acre labyrinth of corn.
And not just any old maze, this one comes packed with pizza trivia and artwork. Honestly, what better way to test your dedication to carbs and cheese? For those who prefer their mazes with varying degrees of difficulty, they’ve conveniently split it into a 3.5-acre challenging section and a 0.5-acre “I’ve got kids who have the patience of goldfish” section.
If you’re looking for a way to spend an afternoon that screams fall fun without yelling too loudly at your GPS, this slice of quirky genius might just be your perfect pairing.
Richardson Adventure Farm – Spring Grove, Illinois
Calling Richardson Adventure Farm “just a corn maze” feels like calling Chicago’s deep dish “just pizza.” This place is the mega-maze of your dreams… or nightmares, depending on your navigational skills.
At 28 acres and boasting nearly 10 miles of twists and turns, it’s genuinely the heavyweight champ of mazes. To up the ante, they’ve thrown in bridges, an observation tower, and even games within the maze to keep your brain occupied while your feet cry for mercy. Did I mention they offer a flashlight maze at night? Getting lost in the dark is exactly what every brave soul aspires to.
Bring water and a comfortable pair of shoes because once you’re in, it’s you versus the corn. And the corn always wins.
Cherry Crest Adventure Farm – Ronks, Pennsylvania
Cherry Crest Adventure Farm out in Pennsylvania isn’t just offering you any old corn maze; it’s the dynamic maze experience. This five-acre playground, featuring over 2.5 miles of paths, evolves throughout the season with new puzzles, layouts, and interactive clue stations.
It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure book, except you’re smack in the middle of it, trying to figure out if you’ve passed the same corn stalk four times. Feeling extra stuck? Don’t worry; they’ve got maze guides to help nudge you in the right direction so you’re not “that person” crying in the middle of the cornfield come sunset.
Combine all this with the farm’s other attractions, and it’s the kind of place you’ll leave wondering why you aren’t living your life on a corn farm. It’s cute, clever, and downright questionable if you trust your sense of direction enough to go it alone.
Duncan’s Corn Maze – Robesonia, Pennsylvania
Looking for a way to entertain the whole family while secretly testing everyone’s problem-solving skills? Duncan’s Corn Maze is your answer. Located in the charming countryside of Pennsylvania, this maze is perfect for those who want to laugh, get lost, and maybe have a minor debate about who’s leading who in circles.
Once you’ve successfully navigated the maze (or “strategically explored” all its hidden corners), you can reward yourself with roasted hot dogs and gooey s’mores by the fire. And you can’t really argue when food that good is waiting.
If you’re not corn-maze-d out, there’s a pumpkin patch nearby, so you can show off your pumpkin-picking prowess… or at least find a perfectly round gourd to post later. Add in a hayride to complete the idyllic fall trifecta.
Cool Patch Pumpkins – Dixon, California
Ever wanted to get lost so thoroughly that even your GPS gives up? Cool Patch Pumpkins in Dixon is happy to oblige. Turns out, this place isn’t just “big,” it holds the actual Guinness World Record for the largest corn maze.
We’re talking fields of corn that will have you questioning your choice to step inside, and possibly, your entire sense of direction. The labyrinth changes its mind-blowing design every year, so repeat visits are practically required (consider it cardio, or at least a solid excuse for all the pumpkin pie you’ll inhale later).
Challenge level? Somewhere between “ha, this is fun!” and “should we be leaving a breadcrumb trail?” You’ll find more than enough twists and turns to provoke arguments, laughter, and possibly a tear or two of defeat.
McCall’s Pumpkin Patch – Moriarty, New Mexico
If you’re heading to McCall’s Pumpkin Patch, prepare to be greeted by the ultimate fall festival mood. Sure, there’s a corn maze, but that’s just one thread in this cozy autumnal tapestry.
McCall’s is like the amusement park of fall farm events: hayrides, zip lines, a petting zoo, and even a pumpkin cannon (because what else are pumpkins for?). While the corn maze itself isn’t the centerpiece, don’t underestimate it. It has a sneaky way of making you question your sense of direction.
It’s the kind of place where kids are running around in costume contest-level excitement while adults sip cider and do their best to appear in control. Plan your visit on a weekend to catch all the magic this farm has to offer.
Louisburg Cider Mill – Louisburg, Kansas
For those who like their fall adventures paired with homemade cider, Louisburg Cider Mill is practically paradise. And their ten-acre corn maze offers enough twists and turns to make you question your map-reading skills while ensuring that everyone eventually emerges victorious… or at least relieved.
But the mill isn’t just a maze; it’s a whole fall playground complete with hay wagon rides that transport you through scenic fields and a children’s play area that’s a parent’s secret weapon for keeping the little ones entertained.
If walking through rows of corn isn’t your thing (ok, who are you, how could it not be?), take a break and visit their cider press or stock up on fresh apple cider and definitely the cider donuts from their store. We grab a dozen every fall when we visit (they are that good). Just don’t forget to bring your cozy sweater and your appetite for good old-fashioned charm.
Twin Cities Harvest Festival & Corn Maze – Brooklyn Park, Minnesota
If you’ve never thought of navigating a corn maze while decoding trivia and standing in the middle of a “mosaic,” then the Twin Cities Harvest Festival & Corn Maze is ready to blow your expectations out of the stalks.
This masterpiece isn’t just Minnesota’s largest mosaic-style corn maze; it’s a full-blown maze-meets-IQ-test situation with 15 trivia checkpoints sprinkled along the way. Think you’re just here to wander aimlessly? Guess again. You’ll be testing those brain muscles while dodging dead ends.
And that’s just the maze. Step outside the maze, and this place turns into the ultimate fall hangout spot. Pumpkins? You bet. Fall treats? Naturally. A festival atmosphere that makes you wonder why summer even gets all the hype? Absolutely. Open weekends, it’s the quintessential “make everyone happy” kind of place.
Apple Annie’s Produce & Pumpkins – Willcox, Arizona
Who knew southern Arizona had fall fun covered? Apple Annie’s Produce & Pumpkins is ready to challenge your sense of direction with not one but two corn mazes.
There’s a medium-intensity maze for those of us who want a little challenge before grabbing a treat, and a more grueling version for the brave souls who didn’t already get lost trying to find their way to Willcox.
By the way, this place is open daily during the fall, so you’ve got no excuse to miss it. Unless, of course, you get distracted by their hayrides. Speaking of hayrides, pairing one with a romp through the maze is a combo you absolutely need to do. Plus, family-friendly pricing means you can make this an all-ages affair without sweating over your wallet.
Warm Belly Farm Fall Festival – Cottage Grove, Wisconsin
Feeling festive, but don’t want to commit to endless roaming? Warm Belly Farm’s corn maze is the perfect mix of adventure and charm. And it’s included with festival admission, so no extra fees to enter this labyrinth of fun.
But this Wisconsin spot doesn’t stop at just one maze; there’s even a mini maze for kids… or kids at heart who prefer their puzzles bite-sized. Between photo opportunities that’ll make your fall memories shine and other classic fall attractions, the farm truly lives up to its cozy-sounding name.
Picture snapping festive photos with pumpkins and scarecrows while smugly sipping hot cider. You’ll feel like you’re starring in a Hallmark seasonal movie. Who can resist such a quintessentially fall experience? Answer? No one.
Davis’ Mega Maze – Sterling, Massachusetts
They don’t call it a mega maze for nothing. Davis’ Mega Maze is so massive that it might just redefine what you think a maze should be. Depending on how sharp your sense of direction (or stubbornness) is, you could escape in 30 minutes or spend up to three hours trying to find your way out.
Yep. Entire mornings or afternoons could vanish in the twists and turns of this Massachusetts beast. But getting lost is only half the fun because this masterpiece of confusion is woven into their Mega Farm Festival, ensuring there are distractions galore.
Whether you’re speed-walking through or stopping at every wrong turn to laugh at your choices, one thing remains the same: this place promises an adventure packed with stories to tell (unless you somehow forget the way out).
