The month of October is full of activities for people of all ages. Kids can enjoy the splendor of enough free Halloween candy to last them the remainder of the year, while those without a curfew can partake in the countless haunted houses and happenings that will scare them well until the following Halloween.

It’s also the only month you won’t mind being told to “get lost”—in a corn maze, that is. Los Angeles has plenty that are a guaranteed good time, as you weave through a labyrinth of corn husks (and maybe a few dead ends) until reaching the finish. Some are even designed to create particular images and messages. Visit one, or visit all of these corn mazes in L.A. and be sure to take stock in the abundance of corny jokes that await.

RECOMMENDED: Looking for more produce? Try these pumpkin patches and places to go apple picking.

Every October, Underwood Family Farms’ Moorpark location becomes an autumnal wonderland as it celebrates its annual Fall Harvest Festival with different events every weekend ranging, from Wild West Weekend to Antique Tractor Weekend. For the entire month, guests can come and be entertained by live music, animal shows, a seemingly endless amount of pumpkins and a two-acre corn maze. The maze is open daily September 30 through October 31. Parking is free, though you’ll need to buy a ticket in advance on weekends; you can check the site for more details.

Sept 30–Oct 31: daily 9am–6pm; weekdays $14, weekends $22–$28, children under two free.

With more than 11 acres of corn, Big Horse Corn Maze just might be the biggest in all of SoCal. For more than a decade, people have been coming from all over to explore their intricately and—when viewed from the air—patriotically designed labyrinths. The Temecula maze is open from Tuesday to Sunday (plus the two Mondays before Halloween); the attraction coincides with a harvest festival, as well, which features bounce houses, slides and a pumpkin patch.

Sept 30–Oct 31: Tue–Fri 1–5pm; Sat, Sun 10am–5pm; $15, children five and under free.

Best known for its apple picking, this Oak Glen orchard also boasts a corn maze set against the San Gorgonio Mountains. You’ll find the cornfield on the north side of the orchards, near the pumpkin patch and part of the larger Farm Fair (which is full of old-timey activities like candle dipping and hatchet throwing).

Through the end of Nov: Fri–Sun 10am–5pm. $12.

Tapia Brothers Farm’s epic corn maze (an entire lot across from the patch itself) comes with a much-needed map and a sheet full of trivia questions. The festive pumpkin patch also offers—you guessed it—pumpkins galore, as well as a fresh farmers’ market (with addicting kettle corn), a mouth-watering roasted corn stand, hay wagon ride, tractor-pulled train and pony rides.

Oct 1–31: daily 9am–7pm; $10
