This autumn, get lost in one of these intricate corn mazes. Each year, farms across the country create a puzzle among the corn stalks—such as welcoming messages, intricate pictures and even cartoon characters—for the whole family to enjoy. Don’t miss the full designs in these aerial shots, taken from an angel’s point of view.
Milton, Florida
This design from 2019 features an important part of any farmer’s process: bees! Holland Farms hosts 3 mazes, the largest traverses 2.1 miles. The hexagonal shapes found within the maze can also be seen on the surface of a beehive.
Lexington, Kentucky
In 2010, Kelley Farms welcomed the equestrians who were in town for the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. That year’s particular FEI World Equestrian Games marked the first time the event took place outside of Europe. This design depicts a jockey riding a horse to the finish line.
Billings, Montana
This 7-acre maze isn’t the only attraction that Grandpa’s Farm has to offer. Make sure to check out the pig races, go on a tractor ride or slide down a mountain of hay.
Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania
This 11-acre corn maze is reconfigured every year; meaning it'll never grow stale. Find the 11-punch card stations to be entered into a raffle. After you have worked up a sweat, make sure to head to the food truck for some seasonal goodies.
Lincoln County, South Dakota
The tall giraffe design makes up the 2020 look for this maze. In the past, the designs have included other wild animals, such as tigers, bears and elephants. If you find the hidden checkpoint in the maze, you’ll receive a free treat from the Concession Barn.
Brandon, South Dakota
Featuring the recognizable faces of Hanna-Barbera’s Yogi and Cindy Bear, this maze is located outside of Sioux Falls. You’re welcome to try and solve the maze during the day, or by flashlight—or the light reflected off the stars above—when it gets dark.
Lodi, Wisconsin
A pair of Sandhill Cranes often nest near the Treinen Farm pond and raise their chicks there. In partnership with the International Crane Foundation, the 2019 design honors the Sandhill Cranes that are so common in southern Wisconsin.
