Fall in Northern Virginia is a great time to get outside and get lost in a corn maze, pick apples to make a fresh-baked apple pie, or pick your own pumpkins.

A perfect activity for families, couples, and friends, navigating through towering stalks of corn adds an exciting challenge to your autumn adventures. These mazes come in all shapes and sizes—some are simple and family-friendly, while others test your sense of direction with intricate twists and turns. For the brave, make plans for a haunted house or haunted hunt.

Beyond just a puzzle to solve, many corn mazes in Northern VA offer additional fall festivities like hayrides, pumpkin picking, apple picking and other produce, hot cider, and those famous donuts the kids (and adults) love. It's the ultimate way to enjoy the beautiful fall weather, all while creating unforgettable memories.
