Corn Field Mazes

Bring your family to navigate your way through the 20-acre Crazed Corn Field Maze with the help of the customizable smart phone trivia game, QR checkpoint hunt, or traditional punch card game.

Kiddos not ready for the big maze? Let the little ones take the lead as you make your way through the Mini Maze – a maze cut into a shorter corn stalk field.

“This year, we’re looking forward to providing a fun and safe outdoor attraction for our community to enjoy,” said Gina Palombo-Dinkel, Maize in the City co-owner. “We’re happy to see families back on our site exploring the corn mazes, picking out pumpkins, and adventuring through the many attractions on our site - all with ample space to do so.”
