If you're researching "corn mazes around Washington D.C.," and "corn mazes near me," then that can only mean one thing: fall is upon us! -- or at least, it's coming soon.

You know it’s autumn when the leaves start to change colors, football fans get excited about the season, flip flops become abandoned in favor of boots and pumpkin patches, and haunted houses and corn mazes pop up all around Washington DC. There’s no better way to spend a crisp fall day in DC than getting lost in one of these fun-filled and family-friendly corn mazes. So don your best flannel, load the family in the car, and prepare to have some good ol' fashioned fall fun.

1. Corn Maze in the Plains

Editor's Note: Unfortunately, this corn maze is permanently closed.  Every year, Corn Maze in the Plains creates a new and different corn maze to get lost in. As you make your way through the maze, you will come across different stations that ask a challenging question or puzzle. If you answer the question correctly, you will get directions to the next station and if you get the question wrong, you are on your own! This is one of the best mazes in the DC area.

2. Cox Farms

The Cornnundrum and the Cornnightmare at Cox Farms aren’t exactly corn mazes but they are fun (and spooky) walks through corn mazes. During the day the Cornundrum is a fun adventure for children where kids and adults can wander through the winding path and encounter pirates, caves, jungles and more. In the evening, it becomes the much creepier Cornnightmare. Learn more about planning your visit to Cox Farms this season.
