6. Amazing Maize Maze, Rural Hill Farm, Huntersville (cancelled for 2019)
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 then finding your way. Learn more on the official website.

Editor's Note: Unfortunately, since the publication of this list, the Amazing Maize Maze has been cancelled for 2019 due to issues with the crop in the corn field set aside for the maze. Learn more at this link.

What are the best farms to visit in North Carolina in the fall?
The Tar Heel State is home to a number of fun pumpkin patches that are perfect for an outing with the youngest members of the family; but the older 'kids at heart' will have fun as well. After combing through the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkins to carve or simply to decorate the house with some autumnal flair, you'll find most of the state's fun pumpkin patches also host other fun activities like hayrides, jump castles, and more. Some even serve food! A few of the must-visit pumpkin patches include Hickory Nut Gap Farm in Fairview, Deal Farms in Franklin, and Mike's Farm in Beulaville. Of course, it's also possible to find hours of family fun on a farm with a corn maze! See a list of seven of the best corn mazes in North Carolina in the article above.
