No. 10:
Located about ninety minutes north of Chicago, the corn maze located at the Richardson Adventure Farm claims to be the world’s largest, with over nine miles of trails winding through 28 acres of live corn. Four smaller mazes combine to create the more extensive maze, and each of the smaller mazes has its own dedicated in and out path. With multiple checkpoints, three bridges, and a perimeter path surrounding the entire maze, visitors can choose to do one maze or all four. If you’re up for the challenge, Richardson Adventure Farm Corn Maze invites you to “come on out and get lost!”
No. 9:
Each autumn, Cornbelly’s in Utah debuts a new corn maze with 8 acres of pathways, interactive games and trivia. Visitors also enjoy a kiddie maze for little ones, grain train rides and a completely separate haunted maze featuring animatronics and live spooks.
No. 8:
Come and get lost in New Springfield, Ohio, at Maze Craze! The 2021 corn maze will have a “Snow White” theme, complete with the evil queen and dwarves! Over 21 acres of corn, with four different maze difficulties to choose from, and open from mid-September through the end of October.

The 10-acre Happy Day Farm corn maze offers visitors the chance to play a game of Maize-O-Poly with a purpose-made game board. Maze trekkers who yearn the most money get crowned “Farmer of the Ear.” Visitors can answer trivia questions by text message to get hints on which way to turn.

Denver Downs Farm invites guests to navigate through their twelve-acre corn maze and find the twelve hidden checkpoints in numerical order. Travelers can use their phones to record times at each checkpoint and when they finish the maze, and will be entered in a drawing for prizes if their’s is the fastest time! This South Carolina Century Farm in Anderson County has been owned and operated by the same family since 1869.

No. 5:
Each fall, Angie Treinen of Treinen Farm designs a new corn maze and her husband Alan cuts it into the cornfield by hand ... no GPS! Navigating the maze can take anywhere from 45 minutes to several hours. Those who want an even bigger challenge can tackle the circle maze. The 2021 maze is titled "The Schrödinger's Cat and Other Thought Experiments Maze."
