Get Lost in a Corn Maze

The corn maze at the Parks Department's Rutledge-Wilson park is in the design of a giant tractor.

If you’re looking for a festive fall adventure beyond the pumpkin patch, there’s plenty to be found in 417-land. Campbell’s Maze Daze runs through the entire month of October, offering corn mazes for all ages, hayrides, pick-your-own pumpkins, pumpkin arts and crafts and live weekend entertainment.
You can make a full day of your visit to Campbell’s Farm by enjoying most of the activities for a flat admission. You can pick your own pumpkin or have bonfire food provided for a small fee. You can also get in the Halloween spirit with Campbell’s special one-weekend-only haunted corn maze on October 24–25.

Monster Corn Maze’s haunted maze is open Fridays and Saturdays until November 1. Kids can go through the less-scary Children’s Maze or visit the pumpkin house.

Or try Right Choices Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch, where you can fire four ears of corn out of a cannon for just $1.

With any of these 417-land destinations, your trip to the pumpkin patch can be an all-day event the whole family can enjoy.
