The 8 Best Corn Mazes In The US, Ranked By Reviews

Seasonal festivities serve more purposes than you may think. Yes, they can be fun ways to keep people entertained, but beyond that, these events also help bring communities together, break up the monotony of day-to-day life, and remind us to appreciate the natural world as it changes throughout the year. Across the United States, one of the most popular seasons for such celebrations is fall. As cooler weather sweeps through much of the nation, colorful foliage provides a vibrant backdrop for traditional activities such as apple picking, trick-or-treating, and exploring corn mazes.

Typically (and understandably) hosted on farmland, corn mazes surged in popularity during the '90s. Since then, they've become a cornerstone of hundreds of fall festivals across America — a fact that's less surprising when you consider that the U.S. produces more corn than any other country on the planet (as per the U.S. Department of Agriculture). While one could reasonably assume all that corn is primarily grown as a food source, using it to make mazes can also be an important moneymaker for many small farms. In fact, as Hurds Family Farm manager Charles Hurd told Hudson Valley Viewfinder, these plant-based labyrinths are so popular that "if you don't have a corn maze, people aren't going to come [to your farm]."

With hundreds of options to choose from every fall, a simple corn maze might not always be enough to draw in the big crowds, though. Sure, most people will probably favor a spot closer to them rather than one located many more miles away, but some curious sightseers may be tempted to travel farther for a particularly impressive display. For those interested in experiencing the country's top offerings, we scoured online reviews to find the best corn mazes in the U.S. Ranked from good to greatest, here are eight prime picks to check out.

Starting in the Lone Star State, we have Graff 7A Ranch in Hondo, Texas. Dubbed "a must visit" autumn attraction by My San Antonio, this ranch's South Texas Maize event features a multi-acre corn maze (exact size varies based on crop growth) located under an hour from the city. Additional offerings here include hay rides, a pumpkin patch, seasonal photo ops, and campfires. Over the years, these fun, family-friendly activities have helped South Texas Maize earn a 4.5-star rating and over 1,120 reviews on Google Maps.

Next up is the Midwest's Richardson Adventure Farm in Spring Grove, Illinois — rated 4.5 stars from more than 1,400 Google Maps reviews. Measuring 28 acres in total, this farm's corn maze can be appreciated both by those wandering through it and by visitors marveling at it from atop the nearby observation tower. At 50 feet tall, the tower gives you a chance to take in an overhead view of the roughly 9 miles of trails that make up the four mini-mazes that come together to form this mammoth labyrinth.

Located in the underrated Washington city of Snohomish, Bob's Corn and Pumpkin Farm showcases a corn maze of 12 acres in size. Open during daylight hours and after dark (on Fridays and Saturdays in October), this attraction has cozy fire pit areas cut into it and is joined by two kids' mazes. While visiting for the farm's Fall Festival, look out for other seasonal activities such as gem mining, hay rides, and a rope maze. Together, these features have earned the farm a 4.5-star rating from over 1,500 Google Maps reviews.

Enjoying a 4.6-star rating from over 1,360 Google Maps reviews, Exeter Corn Maze lies within a Missouri community of the same name. Named by Country Living as one of America's "best corn mazes," Exeter pairs its sprawling and intricate maze with hours' worth of fun activities. Bring the whole family along for a day full of go-karting, spinning pumpkin cup rides, frolicking through a pumpkin patch, axe throwing, and classic fair food. Plus, after dark, haunted happenings kick off. The lineup even includes more maize-based shenanigans thanks to the haunted corn trail (available after 6 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays).

Venture into the Buckeye State for Maze Craze in New Springfield, Ohio — a perfect stop for fall fun. Part of the Ohio Corn Maze Trail, this maze stands out for its size (23 acres!) and complex design. Part of that complexity comes from several smaller mazes interweaving to create the main maze. Across all routes, you'll find both kid-friendly adventures and more challenging games for grown-ups, adding an extra layer of interest to the maze-navigating experience. Past visitors rave about Maze Craze, helping the destination achieve its 4.7-star Google Maps rating based on over 560 reviews.

Coming in third place on our list is Hubb's Farm Corn Maze in Clinton, North Carolina. Like Maze Craze, this autumnal attraction also sports a 4.7-star Google Maps rating, but based on over 630 reviews. Having appeared in USA Today's 10Best 2024, 2025, and 2026 roundups of the country's best corn mazes, Hubb's promises an excellent time for visitors, who can look forward to a huge maze (often 10 acres or larger) formed by three tinier mazes that combine to provide around 4 miles of trail. Surrounding nature trails give hikers the chance for a more traditional trek, too.

Also home to one of the East Coast's best pumpkin patches, Treworgy Family Orchards hosts the longest-continually-running corn maze in Maine, according to Down East. This record-setting maze has been recognized not only by USA Today for its quality but also by Thrillist for its elaborate design. A map with riddles to solve helps guide you through the rows of corn and to the maze's center, where you can celebrate by signing the orchard's Hall of Fame board. If you're anything like the more than 735 Google Maps reviewers who have contributed to Treworgy's 4.7-star rating, the excursion will be one to remember.

With a 4.7-star rating based on roughly 5,000 Google Maps reviews, California's Underwood Family Farms livens up autumn with an annual Fall Harvest Festival that includes one of the best corn mazes in the U.S. You'll find the farm in the charming Los Angeles suburb of Moorpark, a place full of artsy vibes and entertainment. The maze here is a regional favorite, especially when paired with Underwood's other seasonal festivities (like wagon rides, live music, and games). Plus, various themed weekend events mean locals can visit more than once per season and get a new experience each time.
