What is Maize Quest Corn Mazes (cornmaze.com)?

Updated

cornmaze.com is the website of Maize Quest®, a network of more than 70 corn maze and farm fun park locations across the US, Canada, and the UK. Each location is independently owned and operated by the farmer who owns the land, so no two farms are the same. The site serves two distinct audiences: families and groups looking for a farm outing, and farmers or entertainment operators interested in building or upgrading an agritourism business.

What visitors will find at a Maize Quest farm

A visit centers on a large, annually redesigned corn maze shaped around a theme—the site names dinosaurs, pirates, and local food as examples—with the theme woven into educational games inside the maze. Beyond the maze, farms may offer hayrides, pumpkin patches, interactive games, campfires, and food, though the exact mix varies by location because each farm runs its own operation.

Two features stand out in the site's description of what makes a Maize Quest maze different:

  • Themed game stations: Word and Picture Game Stations placed along the maze paths give visitors clues and answers, so the maze doubles as a learning activity.
  • Maize-o-Vision glasses: A decoding system the site describes as a "secret decoding" tool tied to the maze experience.

Mazes are also designed with colorized sections that add visual interest and help keep visitors moving through the pathways.

How to choose a farm to visit

Because every location is locally operated, the right approach is to pick a farm near you first, then check that specific farm's offerings rather than assuming a standard experience. The site's "Find a Maze Near You" tool is the entry point. Before committing to a trip, confirm on the individual farm's page or by contacting it directly:

  • Which activities are available (hayride, pumpkin patch, games, food)
  • Group tour options, since the site notes farms offer group tours for guests
  • Seasonal timing—corn mazes are typically a fall attraction, and themes change each year

This matters most for groups and anyone traveling a distance, where a mismatched expectation about activities or hours would be costly.

For farmers: the agritourism side

Maize Quest has worked with farmers since 1997, and the site now also serves a broader range of entertainment operations. For this audience the site positions itself as a partner for starting or upgrading an agritourism attraction, including maze design—it references "the world's most ingenious maze and puzzle designers"—and value-added features aimed at increasing customer engagement. Farmers considering this route can use the site's "Learn about mazes for your farm" section as a starting point, then evaluate fit against their own land, season, and staffing rather than treating the network as a franchise with uniform requirements; the site is explicit that each farm keeps its own heritage, family story, and activity mix.

The short version

Use cornmaze.com to locate a Maize Quest farm near you and to see what a themed maze visit typically includes; use its farm-facing pages if you are exploring corn mazes as an agritourism business. In both cases, treat the individual farm—not the network—as the source of truth for hours, activities, and pricing, since the site does not publish those details centrally.
