Pumpkins get all the love in fall, but let’s be honest — nothing says autumn adventure like wandering through a corn maze.
Luckily, Chicagoans don’t have to go far to find some of the Midwest’s best.
Whether you want a kid-friendly loop, a puzzle that will test your patience, or a haunted maze that’ll give you chills, there’s a field of corn waiting for you.
Here’s your guide to the best corn mazes near Chicago this season.
All Seasons Orchard (Woodstock, IL)
One of the area’s most popular fall stops, All Seasons Orchard transforms more than six acres into a giant maze with over three miles of twists and turns. Families love the shorter path made for kids, while diehards can tackle the longer, more complex option. It’s all included with barnyard admission, so you can hit the apple orchard and pumpkin patch while you’re there.
