Corn Mazes in Edmonton & Within 2 Hours (2026 Guide)

Getting hopelessly lost in a cornfield is a rite of passage for Edmonton families every fall — and we're spoiled for choice. From the legendary Edmonton Corn Maze just west of the city to the world-famous Kraay Family Farm an hour south, there's a maze for every family within a two-hour drive: massive 15-acre designs with dozens of farm activities attached, small-town community mazes, flashlight mazes after dark, and even a haunted one for the brave.

Corn maze season typically runs from late July (when the corn is finally tall enough to get lost in) through late October, with the best atmosphere hitting in September and October when pumpkin patches open alongside. Here's every maze worth the drive, closest first.

Edmonton Corn Maze: The Original

For over 24 years, this Parkland County family farm has turned 15 acres of corn into a giant living puzzle with a new locally-themed design every season. The maze packs more than 85 decision points into over 4 km of paths; the direct route takes under 30 minutes, but plan for an hour if you’re exploring with little kids or corn maze escape isn’t your forté.

The maze is the headliner, but the farm has grown into a full fall destination: jumping pillows, farm animals, mini golf, pedal carts, spud gun launches, a sunflower stroll (early season), a pumpkin patch, and an on-site farm market stocked with Alberta-grown produce and local goods. Paths are packed well enough for a stroller or wagon when dry.

  • Where: 51529 Range Road 262, Spruce Grove (about 25 minutes from west Edmonton, off Garden Valley Road)

  • When: Typically late July–late October; closed Mondays in fall; shorter Sunday hours [VERIFY 2026 dates/hours]

  • Cost: Discounted online tickets

Prairie Gardens & Adventure Farm: Three Mazes & a Pumpkin Festival

Bon Accord's 35-acre adventure farm runs three farm mazes: including corn and child-sized hay bale versions as part of its fall Pumpkin Festival lineup, alongside a giant pumpkin patch, trackless train, petting farm, corn cannon, wagon rides, and pony rides. If your kids are younger and one giant maze would overwhelm them, this is the friendliest option: shorter mazes, more variety, and endless other things to do. October weekends here are peak fall-family energy.

  • Where: 56311 Lily Lake Road, Bon Accord (about 25 minutes north of Edmonton)

  • When: Fall festival season through October

  • Cost: Admission includes most activities

Kraay Family Farm (Lacombe Corn Maze) — Alberta's Corn Maze Destination

If you're going to drive for a corn maze, drive for this one. The Kraay family has been building the Lacombe Corn Maze since 2000. Since then, the farm has grown into a 40-acre destination with over 40 attractions included in admission: jumping pillows, mini golf, tube slides, ziplines, a Timberline adventure course (closed-toe shoes required), stalk car racing, pig races, and a kiddie maze featuring Spookley the Square Pumpkin. The main maze covers 15 acres of nine-foot corn split into phases, with trivia "passports" that guide you through.

Insider moves: come in fall for the flashlight maze (bring your own flashlights — the maze isn't artificially lit, which is the whole fun), watch for Strawberry Days in July, Sunflower Days in August, and Pumpkin Days from late September. Buy tickets online because gate prices are higher cost - this will make the day trip outside of Edmonton a little easier on your wallet.

  • Where: West of Lacombe — Exit 422B off the QE2, then west on Hwy 12

  • When: Mid-July through mid-October; hours vary by season Cost: Online tickets cheaper than gate; season passes available (not all attractions are included in the price)

Haunted & After-Dark Mazes: Edmonton Farm of Fear: The Maze After Dark

When the sun goes down in late October, the Edmonton Corn Maze transforms into the Farm of Fear — a haunted nighttime corn maze running on select nights through the last two weeks of October, finishing on Halloween night. This one is genuinely scary and geared to teens and adults, not little kids. [VERIFY 2026 dates and age recommendations]

  • Where: Edmonton Corn Maze site, Spruce Grove

  • When: Select nights, last two weeks of October, 7–10 pm [VERIFY 2026]

Kraay Family Farm Flashlight Maze: Spooky, Not Scary

For families who want after-dark thrills without the horror, Kraay's fall flashlight maze is the answer: the maze simply isn't lit, so as the fall nights draw in, you navigate by flashlight, glowstick, or full moon. Same maze, completely different experience — and totally kid-friendly.
