The great thing about corn isn’t just how tasty it is on the cob or in a cup. There’s also how much fun you can have getting lost with family and friends in a field of corn stalks that tower over your head.

But for those who don’t appreciate a real-life puzzle of twists and turns — and some dead ends -- all our local corn mazes offer lots of other things to do as well. So if you’re looking for a fun fall-time adventure, look no further than this page. Here’s everything you need to know about our area’s corn mazes and pumpkin patches.
