Visiting the biggest and best corn mazes in America has quickly become a fall tradition. Who doesn’t love trekking through miles and miles of corn fields with only the sun to guide you?

Turns out, corn mazes in 2025 have a lot more to offer than just corn and the beaten path. The labyrinths we’ve researched have full-blown themes and technology components. GPS navigation? Check. Trivia contests? Check. Apple cannons, kettle corn, pumpkin picking, beer, train rides and more? Ch-ch-check-ity check check.

Whether they’re carved out by farmers’ carefully mapped designs or organized by an advanced planting system, each maze is worth a gander. Spend hours adventuring through the husks and stalks with friends and family, or hey, just look at pictures of the intricate mazes online (they look a-maize-ing from an aerial view!) Are you ready to take on the challenge? It’s time to visit the best corn mazes in America..

Get lost in these corn labyrinths

1. Maze Craze | New Springfield, OH

Through Nov 2

This whopping 23-acre maze is actually four separate mazes, dedicated entirely to Winnie the Pooh and the Hundred Acre Wood. The clever design pays homage to Pooh, Tigger and Piglet and is intricate enough to test even the most experienced wayfinders. Find all 18 hidden checkpoints to become a Maize Master or shout, “I give up!” and a Corn Cop will come retrieve you. Or… try a different activity, like solving the farm mystery or the honey pot hunt.

Time Out tip: On October 2 and 9, they’ll have tasting stations dispersed through the maze. Grown-ups can amble through in hopes of tingling their taste buds with wine and cider.

2. MD Corn Maze | Gambrills, MD

Through Nov 2

While no one is mourning the wicked, the folks at MD Corn Maze are out here in Gambrills, Maryland, celebrating the good and bad witch of it all… with corn! The MD Corn Maze has themed their field after Wicked, so if you’ve ever wanted to get lost in the land of Oz, now is the time. Nothing is stopping you from looking fabulous in pink or hideodious in a black, pointy hat, but please, please refrain from taking flight on your broom over the maze. That’s just cheating!

Time Out tip: Bring your flashlight and navigate the maze after dark. The maze masters insist the maze isn’t haunted, but you never know!

Through Nov 9

Make the most out of fall in South Carolina with a ramble around Denver Downs Farm’s 12-acre maze. This year’s maze theme is a tribute to country music artist Lainey Wilson.

And for those who appreciate a technological aid, the maze has a QR code game that will keep track of your completion time, as well as GPS showing you where you are in the field. Don’t delay: Top scores are posted online, and you’ll want that claim to fame this Halloween season. 

Time Out tip: There are plenty of photo ops, so come photogenic.

Don’t worry: In addition to the larger maze, which takes an hour or two to complete, there’s a smaller, 15-minute maze that’s a bit more digestible.

In addition to unlimited beer samples, there’s also live music and food trucks. Wander through the 12-acre maze to discover your new favorite brewery. New this year: camping right on the premises.

6. Richardson Adventure Farm | Spring Grove, IL

Through Oct 26

Richardson Adventure Farm wants you to jump in your Delorean and head back to 1985 for this year’s corn maze. Situated in Spring Grove, Illinois, this farm goes hardcore autumn, with a carousel, train rides, pedal karts, giant jumping pillows, food trucks, craft beer and wine bar, 50-foot-tall maze observation tower, giant slides, a zip line, cinnamon doughnuts, pumpkins and fall decor—oh, and the 10.4 miles of trails within their world-famous corn maze. The Marty McFly design, etched out with a GPS-powered seed-planting system, celebrates the 40th anniversary of Back to the Future

7. Goughan’s Farm | Caribou, ME

Through Oct 31

Yabba dabba doo! The Goughan’s Farm in Maine pays tribute to Fred Flinstone and his crew of Wilma, Betty and Barney this year. Once you emerge from your time in Bedrock (a.k.a. the maze), enjoy an ice cream cone or play a round of mini golf. Take home all the holiday decor your Halloween heart can handle, including pumpkins, gourds, corn stalks (of course), mums and straw bales. Pick up a jar of jam or two before you leave—it’s their specialty as a berry farm!

Time Out tip: Check the Goughan’s Farm’s Facebook for the best time to pick autumn raspberries. 

8. The MAiZE | Portland, OR

Through Oct 31

Any PNW-er will tell you that Portland is a pretty special place. The folks at The MAiZE take their appreciation to the next level. Welcome to “Cornlandia,” their five-acre maze that celebrates everything that makes Oregon great. Visitors can wander through twisting pathways that honor elk roaming the forests, beavers building in the wetlands, salmon running in the rivers, and Mount Hood watching over it all. If you’re a die-hard Portlandian through and through, snag the Cornlandia Trivia Passport at the beginning of the maze—the clues will help you navigate it!

Time Out tip: It takes about an hour to solve the puzzle, so wear hiking shoes!

Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street? Well, if you’re near Albany, New York, you might not have to go too far. Liberty Ridge Farm’s fall attractions include an extra corny interpretation of Elmo. In true Sesame Street spirit, bring a buddy to the farm and enjoy the 50 activities they have to offer!

Adventure awaits inside the Lost Jungle at Davis Mega Maze—eight acres of towering corn with nearly three miles of twisting paths.

From monkey bars and rope swings to mini golf, slingshots and hidden photo ops, the maze transforms into a wild expedition for explorers of all ages. Got little ones in tow? Friendly Maze Masters are stationed throughout the jungle to help guide the way if your crew starts to feel lost.

11. Great Vermont Corn Maze | Danville, VT

Through Oct 13

Strap on your hiking shoes because this corn maze is not for the faint of foot. The largest corn maze in New England spans 24 acres and takes nearly three hours to complete. Fans of the maze, or “mazers,” request that no photos of the design are shown before embarking on their corny quest (see 2023’s above), so every year, the maze is a challenging surprise. What we do know, however, is that hikers will experience 10-foot-tall corn, miles of trails, a 32-foot underground tunnel, 100 feet of bridges and 28-foot “cabin cruisers” that “float” on the corn. There’s even a 3,000-square-foot indoor blacklight maze located within the maze.

Time Out tip: Needless to say, the maze is an attraction that pulls in tourists and locals alike—so the best time to visit is during the week. Come early, and bring a lunch.

12. The Amazing Maize Maze | Queens, NY

Through Oct 26

No autumn in NYC would be complete without a trek to the Amazing Maize Maze at the Queens County Farm Museum—the only New York City corn maze. The American Maze Company builds a labyrinth every year that stretches over three acres, with the course length often reaching two miles. Previous years’ themes have included a violin, a riverboat, a train, a farmscape and the largest living sundial. The best part: You’ll end your adventure at a vista overlooking the labyrinth you just conquered. This year’s maze image is a sunburst honoring Queens Farm’s radiant legacy of 50 years. Like the sun, the farm museum is a beacon of light shining brightly at the intersection of food, history and culture.

Time Out tip: Visit on September 27 and 28 for the Queens Agricultural Fair!

13. Sever’s Fall Festival | Shakopee, MN

Through Oct 26

Billed as the Midwest’s “original fall festival,” this event is jam-packed with all things fall fun. We’re talking corn pits (pits of millions of dried corn kernels), jumping pillows, an obstacle course, zip lines, pig races, a petting zoo, a kiddie train, wildlife shows, magicians and we could keep going. The corn maze is one of the best attractions—you can spend as much or as little time in there as you wish (there are escape routes so you’re not trapped).

Time Out tip: If you’re a fall festival fanatic, consider a season pass for $45.

14. Lynd Fruit Farm | Pataskala, OH

Through Nov 2

Lynd Fruit Farm has major expertise in fruit (as you could have deduced from their name), but tasty apples aren’t the only joy you’re going to get with a visit to the farm. Their mazes (yes, there’s two) will put you back in time, as you traverse a castle-themed corn field. You choose your adventure: the eight-acre fantastical Medieval Maze or the one-acre Dragon Keeper’s Maze. There’s a bounce house, wagon rides, campfires and all sorts of fun. Don’t be a jester, and come check it out!

Time Out tip: Make sure you’re using their actual address in your GPS (9851 Morse Rd SW, Pataskala, Ohio). Just Googling it won’t take you to the right spot.
