Both Homeschooling around Halloween and Learning about Thanksgiving with kids can be a lot of fun, and every year, homeschooling families and schools all over are planning their next field trip to a corn maze. Unfortunately, a lot of these corn maze field trips are planned with no thought on educational value.

Besides the obvious (growing corn and agriculture) what educational value could a corn maze actually have?

More than you might think!

Corn Mazes and Success Principles

Homeschooling families have long understood that there is learning to be done all the time. Everywhere we go and in everything we do, there is a lesson to be had.

But sometimes, that lesson needs to be clearly illustrated in order for kids to grasp exactly what we want them to learn. Particularly when that lesson is a life lesson or a success principle.

What if I told you there are life lessons to be learned from a trip to the corn maze? And no, I’m not just talking about farming (although farming is important too!)

Famous Corn Mazes In America

Speaking of corn mazes – what’s a corn maze unit study without a corn maze field trip?

Below you’ll find a small (very small) list of famous corn mazes found across America. Some of these places really go all out!

Cornbelly’s

One of our favorite corn mazes to visit is Cornbellys. In Lehi, UT, Cornbelly’s is locally known as the Thanksgiving Point Corn Maze. The Cornbelly’s corn maze is also famous and is on many country’s top 10 corn mazes lists.

Every year, Cornbelly’s has a new fun theme. The 2019 them is World of Wizards (hello Harry Potter!) It’s going to be a great maze.

Besides just a great maze, Cornbelly’s also has dozens (we’re talking more than 50) of family fun adventures for kids of all ages to enjoy.

Great Vermont Maze

Known as the largest corn maze in New England, the Great Vermont Maze is definitely a sight to be seen.

This maze covers 24 acres (on a slope!) and amounts to 3 miles of trails.

I can see why they call this the largest corn maze in New England. This thing is HUGE! Locals recommend you plan on 2+ hours of just maze time. And bring water!

Cherry Crest Adventure Farm

The Cherry Crest Adventure Farm in Ronks, PA is a very famous maze. In fact, this maze was voted a top 5 maze in America by USA Today!

This 5-acre corn maze hosts families looking for some daytime fun all season long. Cherry Crest also hosts families after dark with the Flashlight Maze.

In the Flashlight Maze, you do the same maze that you did during the day – only with a twist! See if you can complete the same maze by flashlight in the same amount of time (or less) that it took you to complete during the day.

Bella Organic

The Bella Organic Pumpkin Patch is a great corn maze option for those in the Pacific Northwest.

This corn maze is particularly unique because it is one of the few mazes I was able to find that actually allows dogs (on a leash) so feel free to bring your furry friend to join in on your corn maze field trip.

Sever’s Fall Festival

Located in the midwest, Sever’s Fall Festival is the second oldest corn maze in the country.

Like most corn mazes, this maze is redesigned every year with new maps, clues, and checkpoints so visitors can enjoy the challenge of solving a complex puzzle. This is a great place for a field trip! Located in Shakopee, MN.

More Corn Maze Field Trip Options

Don’t see a corn maze that’s close to you? That’s okay! There are so many corn mazes around this time of year it would be near impossible to list them all in one spot. I’m sure with a little digging, you will be able to find multiple corn mazes local to you.

And remember to accompany your corn maze field trip with the corn maze field trip curriculum. Back up your family fun day with an exceptional educational experience (and a character-building success principle!)
