Get lost in the fun this fall! I’ve taken my own kids to quite a few of these corn mazes over the years, and each one seems to get more creative. From whimsical themes and GPS scavenger hunts to trivia challenges, they’re more exciting than ever.
Some mazes get a little spooky (ideal for older kids), but don’t worry—there are plenty of family-friendly options for younger ones, too.
