The craziest corn mazes open for 2022 in the North Bay, Peninsula and worth the road trip
By - posted 9/21/2022 No Comment

Let’s get lost in a corn maze! 

These insane twists and turns of nature used to be done manually, but now they’re mostly done by GPS and computer-controlled machines. We’ve rounded up the best corn mazes open for 2021 around the greater Bay Area, plus we’ve also thrown in a few smaller corn mazes and hay mazes if you’re looking for something more old school.

Please always check with the venue first before attending. We’ve done our best to make sure everything is accurate for 2021, but prices, details, and hours can change, so please contact the venue first.

And as always in these times, please make sure you have a mask and practice social distancing. Please stay home if you are not feeling well. See specific Covid-precautions and rules for each farm listed on their websites.
