It’s finally fall, ya’ll, and that means there is a bushel of corn-fusing fun to be had at a local corn maze. From Peter Pan-themed to delightfully spooky, there’s a bumper crop of corn mazes near Atlanta. Lend an ear and we’ll tell you where to go.
The Buford Corn Maze
As the name suggest, there is an excellent corn maze to be found at The Buford Corn Maze. Older kiddos may want to do the corn maze, but if you're taking littles, there's a lot of walking. If they're not up to the job, you can opt for the playground or bounce house, which are free with admission. Look for pony rides, face painting and karaoke too.
The Details: Admission is $16 for the corn maze and includes the hayride. Mon.-Th. from 10 a.m.-7 p.m., Fri. & Sat. from 10 a.m.-midnight, Sun. 10 a.m.-10 p.m.

Sleepy Hollow Farm
The name Sleepy Hallow conjures up images of hayrides, Halloween and crisp fall nights, but this Sleepy Hallow got its start thirty years ago as a family owned Christmas tree farm (read about their cool history here). What started as a Christmas tradition has grown into a fall tradition for families throughout the Atlanta area. Aside from the main attraction: the tractor ride, kiddos will love the corn maze, a pumpkin patch and farm animal feeding.
The Details: $12 per person, 2 and under free with purchase of adult ticket. Includes wagon rides, corn maze, farm animals & kid zone, and pumpkin patch (pumpkins sold separately). From Sep. 24–Oct. 31, Wed.-Fri. 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Sat. 10 a.m.-7 p.m., Sun. 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Uncle Shuck's
With a maze spread over 12 acres with 4 miles of trails, you can get as corny as you want at Uncle Shucks. Don’t worry, there are exits throughout the maze so you’re sure to make it out alive, and if the littles just aren’t big enough to understand the thrill of the corn maze, you can amaze them with the corn cannon, mini maze (made out of hay bales for optimum visibility), pumpkin patch, and pony rides. On Friday and Saturday nights in October, brave the horror that is The Dark Rows, an unique haunted trail through some of the most twisted trails of our corn field!
