For the past 50 years, the Queens County Farm Museum has served as a rural oasis within the New York City limits. And what better way to celebrate an anniversary than by creating a complex corn maze for New Yorkers to get delightfully lost in?
The Amazing Maize Maze is back this fall with a sunburst design celebrating five decades of the museum's existence. Expect plenty of twists, turns and tricks inside this three-acre living labyrinth. It's available to visit on select days through October 26.

The corn maze adventure begins with a Stalk Talk to prepare you for the challenge of finding clues, solving puzzles and mazing your way to Victory Bridge. With corn stalks towering far overhead, it can become easy to get turned around inside the maze and struggle to find the exit—but that's the fun of it after all. Just prepare to persevere as this maze is tricky!
Finally, upon reaching the Victory Bridge, you'll be able to see the stunning vista of this three-acre living labyrinth is revealed. Among sunburst-shaped designs, there's even a 50 carved into the path of this year's installation.
"Like the sun, this farm is a beacon of light shining brightly at the intersection between food, history, and culture," museum officials said in a statement. "For five decades, we've connected New Yorkers to the land beneath their feet and to agricultural traditions that continue to shape our collective future."
The Amazing Maize Maze is open on Saturdays and Sundays through October 26, with an additional open date on Monday, October 13 at 73-50 Little Neck Parkway, Floral Park. Tickets cost $16 for adults and $10 for kids aged 4-11; kids under 3 are free.
If you're convinced of your super-solving skills, check out Maze by Moonlight where you'll have all the fun of the laborious labyrinth with the added feat of darkness. Stroll through the interactive maze under the starry skies for a spooky experience made for brave souls. We'd recommend bringing a headlamp for some extra light. That's available on October 18 and 31 with tickets priced at $18 adults; $14 kids.
While you're at the museum, make time to explore the pumpkin patch and pick a great gourd to take home. Also check out the donut shop and cider booth for sweet treats including apple cider donuts, pumpkin cider donuts, apple pies and pumpkin pies.
