Finding your way through a corn maze is a fun fall activity for all ages. In 2020, six Vancouver-area farms have corn mazes you can explore. There’s something for everyone including mini-mazes for kids, scary haunted mazes for brave adults, and mystery mazes full of clues. Here’s everything you need to know about visiting a corn maze near Vancouver this fall.
Corn Maze Tips
Book in Advance Or Go at Non-Peak Times: Due to COVID-19, many corn mazes have reduced capacity. Some farms require advance booking. (See below for details.)
Go at Night for Spooky Vibes: Some mazes stay open late, so pack a flashlight.
Dress for the Weather: Since you’ll be outdoors, layer up and include rain gear. Fall weather can be cold and wet.
Wear Boots: Farms can be muddy.
Warm Up with Hot Drinks: Some farms have a concession stand where you can buy hot chocolate or hot apple cider. Or bring your own in a thermos.

The farmers at the Chilliwack Corn Maze have been plowing mazes into their cornfields since 1999. The design of this year’s labyrinth celebrates community and love with a globe, helping hands, and the word “together” carved out of the corn. You can also book a firepit rental and s’mores kit to enjoy after your trip through the maze.

Maan Farms Haunted Corn Maze
Billed as the scariest corn maze in Canada, the Haunted Corn Maze at Maan Farms in Abbotsford is more of a haunted house experience than a traditional corn maze. This year’s maze revolves around the story of a boy who wanted to explore an old testing facility, only to discover that online myths of terrifying creatures haunting an old barn are in fact reality. It’s a truly scary experience not recommended for kids under 10, those with cardiovascular health issues or epilepsy, or pregnant women.
Location: 790 McKenzie Rd, Abbotsford
Rates: $42-$55 depending on dates and how far in advance you book. Reserve your spot online.
