Canada is home to a wonderful array of corn mazes that offer a combination of outdoor adventure, artistry, and agricultural history. Visiting a corn maze is also an opportunity to immerse yourself in the fall season, spend quality time with loved ones, and experience the country’s rural charm. If you’re looking for a corn maze to try this fall, consider one of these five excellent options.
Greendale Acres, Chilliwack, British Columbia
The Greendale Acres corn maze, which bills itself as the first corn maze in Canada, is back for its 25th season. Each year the maze features a unique design and an interactive experience that involves checkpoints and challenges. It’s not just a walk in the park—or the cornfield! Visitors are encouraged to work together while solving puzzles and enjoying the great outdoors. Greendale Acres also features a pumpkin patch, pedal carts, and an indoor hay-bale maze for the little ones, among other fun activities.
Kraay Family Farm, Lacombe, Alberta
Kraay Family Farm in Alberta has been entertaining visitors with different corn mazes each year since 1999. Designs range from local sports team logos to charitable causes, each arranged in an impressive labyrinth with thrilling twists and turns. This year’s maze, “Ribbon of Hope,” will be raising funds for the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary and the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton. After you’ve solved the maze, check out some of the other 40 attractions on the property!
A Maze in Corn, St. Adolphe, Manitoba

From simple geometric patterns to complex images celebrating local culture, the maze offers an exciting blend of fun and difficulty. Entry to the corn maze also grants entry to the petting zoo, where visitors can say hello to the farm’s resident four-legged critters.
Cooper’s CSA Farm & Maze, Zephyr, Ontario
CSA Farm & Maze offers a charming and family-friendly corn maze experience in Ontario. The 10-acre maze is a daytime delight, but it’s the nighttime flashlight corn maze that sets this farm apart.

Best of all, each admission ticket includes a u-pick-it pumpkin from the pumpkin patch!

After you’ve solved the maze, you can pick some of your own fruits and vegetables or enjoy a hayride!
Whether you’re seeking family fun, a pulse-pounding challenge, or a dash of fall magic, Canada’s corn mazes deliver on all counts, for seasoned maze (and maize) enthusiasts and curious newcomers alike.
