Get Lost In These 7 Awesome Corn Mazes In North Carolina This Fall

There's something so quintessentially fall about getting lost in a giant corn maze. The perfect, golden hue the corn reaches once fall is near its peak is just beautiful. Plus, bonus points like pumpkin patches, hayrides, and fresh cider make corn mazes a fun, dizzying treat come fall. But it's the whole experience that makes them so memorable. Here are seven of the best corn mazes in North Carolina that will fill the fall season with fun memories that the whole family can enjoy.

1. Gross Farms, Sanford

This 10-acre maze is the largest corn maze in North Carolina (It's one of two corn mazes that span 10 acres). It features three puzzles with various checkpoints to make sure you're correctly finding your way out. There are also farm-centric activities like a pumpkin patch, slides, and interactive activities. Learn more on the official Gross Farms website.

2. Ken's Korny Maze, Garner

Ken's Korny Maze is the longest-running corn maze in North Carolina and each year features an impressive, new design.

3. Kersey Valley Maize Adventure, Advance

This exciting maze is the one of the largest corn mazes in North Carolina (It's one of two corn mazes that span 10 acres). It's certainly challenging, but also surrounded by fun like the nearby zip line that flies above the maze or gem mining not far in the woods. Of course, though, you'll want to complete the maze first for that sense of accomplishment. There's also a great pumpkin patch. Learn more on the official Kersey Valley Maize Adventure website.

4. Hubb's Corn Maze, Clinton

Deemed an 'agri-tourism fun park,' Hubb's features more than just a North Carolina corn field and maze but an entire day of fun on the farm. The maze is over 10 acres and features three varying levels within and an interactive scavenger hunt. Aside from the maze, there's plenty of fun on the farm like a mini-zipline, laser tag, 'House of Corn,' giant slides, a giant jump pillow, and more. Learn more on the official Hubb's Farm website.

5. Aw Shucks Farms, Monroe

Aw Shucks unveils a new, intricate design each year. After you complete the maze (it takes around 25 minutes) enjoy the other activities like hayrides, pumpkin picking, horseshoes, and corn hole. They also offer a super scary haunted corn maze! Learn more on the official Aw Shucks Farms website.

6. Amazing Maize Maze, Rural Hill Farm, Huntersville

As one of the largest corn mazes in the Southeast, the Amazing Maize Maze features a giant, seven-acre maze with a total of two miles of connecting paths. The maze is so large and daunting, visitors have to go through a small maze tutorial before entering. Each group must also hold a flag throughout their time in the maze in case they get lost or turned around. Although it might seem daunting, it's a great (bonding) way to spend a day getting lost and then finding your way. Learn more on the official Rural Hill Farm website.
