A. Casola Farms | 178 State Route 34, Holmdel

Not only does A. Casola Farms have the market cornered with the original pick-your-own-pumpkin and hayride farm — the crew also has two incredible mazes for visitors to enjoy. First up is the corn maze: five acres of corn planted and then cut down to create three miles of intricate trails. The farm also has a sunflower maze, so you can live out your Alice in Wonderland fantasies of flowers taller than you, with drooping blooms and bright petals. The Fall Festival runs through October 31st, and both locations are chock full of things to do. Be prepared that the corn maze is available only open on weekends. Stop by the farm’s social media pages on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with any last-minute changes.

Bullock Farms | 83 Emleys Hill Road, Cream Ridge

This family-run farm is 170 acres, and the current farmers are the fifth and sixth generations in the same family to run the farm. While visitors are welcome at the farm during other seasons, fall has the most to offer. There are three corn mazes available at Bullock Farms. Two are for younger kids, and the third is for everyone else. The main maize (sorry, couldn’t help it) is four and a half acres carved into a hill. Explorers find their way through the maze, and finish the maze on a platform overlooking the farm. The farm is open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays until 5PM (though the corn maze stops admitting people by 4:30PM). Keep up with the farm on its Facebook and Instagram pages for the latest information.

Donaldson Farms | 358 Allen Road, Hackettstown

Donaldson Farm’s Fall Fun Harvest Weekends are filled with all the best fall activities, including a corn maze. Each year, the maze has a different theme and supports a different charity. This year, the theme is “The Arc,” and the farm will be donating $1 from every corn maze entry purchase to The Arc of Warren County — which helps people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities live a good life. Past designs have included the Statue of Liberty, a Salute to Healthcare Workers, and Tunnel to Towers. The maze itself is nine acres big and designed for kids of all ages. Check in with the farm on Facebook or Instagram to see any last-minute changes.

Etsch Farms | 556 Buckelew Avenue, Monroe Township

The corn maze at Etsch Farms is another classic, year after year. Past years’ images included a pirate ship, barn animals, and several different iterations of the farm’s logo. The maze itself is eight acres and has a crossword puzzle to do inside. Smaller explorers will enjoy the scaled-down corn maze. There is also a hay bale creation that goes along with each year’s theme. The fall festivities began on weekends in September and this year, the corn maze theme is “The Chicken + The Egg.” Stay up to date with the Farm via its Facebook page.

Fairfield Farms | 177 Big Piece Road, Fairfield

The corn maze at this Essex County farm was designed with children in mind, so it’s not too challenging or too tall. The corn maze is part of the farm’s Fall Festival, which opened in September. Other activities are available including pumpkin picking, hayrides, and climbing hay bales. The farm market has all kinds of seasonal produce and goodies available, including fresh apple cider.

Did you know that according to USA Today, one of the top 10 best corn mazes in the US is right here in New Jersey? Yes, it’s Happy Day Farms and you can visit this year’s corn maze. Happy Day Farm has been recognized for some of its past designs including Rutgers University’s 250th Anniversary, 4 Jersey Celebrities, and Superheroes. Past year’s themes included Super Mario, and 10 Years of Happiness in honor of the farm’s 10th anniversary — and this year’s theme celebrates Snoopy. While visiting the corn maze, there are plenty of other games and activities to keep you occupied while you solve the maze, such as trivia and Maize-Opoly. The corn maze is part of the farm’s Fall Harvest Pumpkin Festival. The Festival is open on Saturdays and Sundays and adds Fridays in October. Advanced ticket purchase online is required. On-site purchases are cash only. Keep up with the farm via Facebook and Instagram to learn about the latest schedule changes and other updates.

Hacklebarney Farm | 104 State Park Road, Chester

Coming around the bend with the cheerful red barn coming into view lets you know that you’re in for a fun day at Hacklebarney Farm. Even taking in the pleasant scenery is a nice way to spend time here, but we’re here for competition, and that means a corn maze. The corn maze at Hacklebarney has one of the longest ‘seasons’ around — it opens in late August and runs until November, so that means you can get plenty of tries to perfect your pathway. Either way, we’re all winners with the snack situation. Hacklebarney’s farm market sells ice cream, fresh-baked pies, and other goodies, as well as apple cider pressed on-site. Our favorite treat is the apple cider float, which, if you’re lucky, will be made with cider pressed just that day. Be sure to check out the farm’s Facebook page for any last-minute updates.

Heaven Hill Farm | 451 State Route 94, Vernon

The Great Pumpkin Festival at Heaven Hill Farm has a ton of activities for kids of all ages, but we’re most excited about the corn maze. The maze takes up 10 acres and has routes for both little kids and everyone else. There are built-in games within the maze, so there really are challenges around each turn. There is also a hay maze for the little ones — the walls aren’t so high and it’s a lot easier to call for help. Parking is free, but tickets are required. It’s open seven days a week. Visit the farm’s Facebook or Instagram to keep up with the latest information.

Lentini Farms | 251 High Street Route 94 South, Newton

This farm has four stands to visit for your fruit fix, but there’s only one stop for the corn maze. Each fall, Lentini Farms creates an amazing new design on its 10-acre plot. Corn maze admission also includes a free apple.

Middle Valley Farm | 304 Pleasant Valley Road, Mendham

Private events can also be held at this charming farm — the staff will work with you to coordinate whatever is needed. So maybe this is your chance for a night-time corn maze-themed birthday party? The farm takes only cash or check, so be sure to stop at the ATM on your way. It opened in late September and runs through October. Check out the farm’s Facebook page for the latest information.

Stony Hill Farms has four mazes to stump visitors of all ages. First up is the rope maze, for climbers to reach the deck of a pirate ship using a nautical rope. Next up is the mini corn maze, a one-acre version for young explorers. Next is the tile maze, which is deceptively challenging, as challengers can only make the right turns to solve their way out. Finally, the Giant Corn Maze can take anywhere from one to three hours to solve. This maze is 10 acres in size and is designed with a different theme every year. Bring snacks and your patience, this one is a real challenge! Tickets are required and are available online. The farm hosts special events with the maze, such as flashlight nights, so keep an eye on the website for more information. The farm’s Facebook and Instagram pages will have the latest information about weather and schedule changes.
