- Take water – just in case you get lost…..
- Weather is a big factor on availability of a maze – most farm owners will not be open if the fields are too muddy.
- Check the websites for all the below mazes – most have status updates on the mazes.

I had no idea these existed, and right in our own backyard! I am thinking of taking my soon to be 4 year old twin boys to one of these, do you think that’s too young? Thanks for the cool resource!
Thanks for sharing! We are always on the lookout for a new corn maze! Sweetberry Farm in Marble Falls is our absolute favorite! Even though it’s 4 hours away (and there are a number of maizes that are much closer!) we make a trek out every year. 🙂 Our kiddos really appreciate that there’s pretty much no dead ends, and they love the scavenger hunt aspect of it. We all look forward to finding all the cities every year! Wish more places would do something similar!
