When is corn maze season? Tips for a family maze day

Updated Nov 2026 Β· 3 min read Β· By the U-Pick Near team

Quick answer

Short version: corn maze season is Sep to Oct, and many mazes close after Halloween. Go on a dry day, wear closed shoes and bring water and a charged phone; many farms pair the maze with a pumpkin patch.

When do corn mazes open?

Usually mid to late September, once the corn is tall. Our season data notes many close after Halloween. Some run flashlight nights in October.

How long does a corn maze take?

It depends on the maze. Ask at the entrance, and many farms hand out maps or have shorter kids mazes.

What should you bring?

  • Closed shoes or boots for mud.
  • Water and a phone.
  • A flashlight for night mazes.
  • A meet-up plan if your group splits.
