It’s nearly time to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall—plus all of the awesome activities it brings with it! We’re more than thrilled to greet the season of hot apple cider, picking pumpkins, and stepping on crunchy leaves. In fact, we’re counting down the days until one of the best corn mazes in the country opens up for the season. Named by Parade as the best corn maze in Northern California, Cool Patch should be considered a must-visit fall destination for families in NorCal.

Every year as fall arrives, Northern California families find themselves with tons of options for corn maze attractions. Each one has something unique to offer, but Cool Patch Pumpkins in Dixon has proven itself to be one of the best.
