Tackle a Few Corn Mazes for Ultimate Fall Fun
Sure, corn mazes are a big deal in West Michigan, and no two are the same. Some are super easy and great for families with young kids. These let you finish quickly and then go pick a pumpkin.
Others are seriously difficult, made even harder by adding flashlight nights or game challenges. These mazes can take hours to complete.

We’re note sure what kind of corn maze is up your alley – but we are sure that you’re apt to find it on this list.
Good luck, and have fun. We hope you get lost and love it!

Corn Maze FAQ: How Are Corn Mazes Created?
So, corn mazes… they don’t just grow that way now, do they? Obviously, a lot of planning goes into creating intricate mazes over acres of cornstalk-filled land.
To find out what goes into creating corn mazes, we asked the folks at Lewis Adventure Farm & Zoo to clue us in.
First They Plant, Then They Plow the Maze
The planning process begins as early as January when the new year is evaluated for any upcoming events. Planners consider what themes will be popular that coming summer and fall. A sure-to-be-a-hit summer movie or big anniversary, such as the recent 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, are common corn maze themes.
To start, the entire cornfield is planted normally.
When the plants are around 4-5 inches tall, plowing starts. The field is sectioned off and a computer-aided design program turns a chosen design into a really big reality.
The computer program converts rows of corn onto a grid. The plowers know that each row on the grid is equal to a row of corn. They use a grid map to plow up the designated maze paths, and the maze is created.
“After that, maze maintenance is a cinch. As the corn stalks grow, the shade they create prevents any sun from hitting the plowed areas preventing weeds from growing. The plowers clear the paths so smoothly that there is no growth to worry about.”
And what happens to the corn after the maze season ends?
Lewis Farms actually “borrows” the corn seeds from a nearby dairy farm. When it is time to bring the maze down for the season, the corn is harvested and and “returned” to the dairy farm to be used to feed the cows.
Which Corn Maze is Calling Your Name?
Every year, my family and I make it a point to do a corn maze. It’s on our list of fun things to do in the fall and we take it seriously. (We make a deal that we’re going to finish it – failure is not an option!)
The result? Over the years, I’ve been lost in many corn mazes at local family farms.
Thanks to my husband’s great sense of direction, which luckily our sons have too, we’ve always made it out. (Sometimes we’re helped along by downloading an aerial photo of the maze in desperation. That’s not cheating, right?)
We always celebrate with some donuts and cider after we make it out of a maze – it’s our delicious payoff!
