The Country’s Top Corn Mazes

Grab a pair of your favorite walking shoes, and gear up for some old-fashion farm fun at these a-maze-ing corn mazes!

 

1. Von Thun’s Farm: Derek Jeter Corn Maze

Opening Dates: September 20, 2014- October 31, 2014

Location: Monmouth Junction, NJ

 

Von Thun’s Farms really hit it out of the ball park with their Derek Jeter-themed corn maze. Situated just about 55 miles south of Yankees Stadium in Monmouth Junction, NJ, this jaw dropping,  5+ acre tribute was originally supposed to display the image of a tractor carrying pumpkins.

 

However, with Jeter Fever sweeping the nation, the folks at Von Thun’s decided to take the design in a new direction. Instead of the traditional fall design, they chose to celebrate their 101st anniversary by paying homage to the well-respected New York Yankees shortstop. Carved in the likeness of Derek Jeter, the maze showcases his jersey number, 2, and the words “Thanks Captain Clutch”. With four miles of twists, turns, and interactive activities, this maze is an experience that the whole family can enjoy. Whether or not you’re a die-hard Derek Jeter fan, swing on by Von Thun’s Farms. It will be open from September 20th through the end of October. Weekday maze admission is $8. Weekend farm admission is $10.95 (includes 20+ activities and maze).

 

2. Simpsons Corn Maze

Opening Dates: September 12, 2014- November 1, 2014

Location: Chilton, WI

 

Woo-hoo! The Simpsons comes to life this year at Meur Farms, located just east of Highway 151 along the Niagara Escarpment, 10 miles southwest of Chilton and 14 miles northeast of Fond du Lac. Owners Dave and Leslie Meuer hired a professional corn maze designer, who recalled that this year is the 25th anniversary of The Simpsons’ initial premiere. It showcases each of the Simpsons family members—Homer, Marge, Bart, Maggie and Lisa.

 

While this Simpsons-inspired corn maze stands as a source of entertainment for people of all ages, it also serves as an agricultural production venture. Meuer Farm caters to families, but they’re especially committed to educating children—particularly those who don’t have a lot of experience with farm life. For its incredible corn maze, diverse activities, and participation at off-farm events, Meuer Farm was recognized as Business of the Year in 2013 by the Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association.
