One of America’s Best Corn Mazes Is Right Here in Minnesota

Nothing says fall quite like getting lost... on purpose. The crunch of leaves under your boots, the smell of cider in the air, and the thrill of winding your way through a maze of towering corn stalks.

Across America, farms turn their fields into puzzles that test your patience, sense of direction, and let's be real, sometimes your sanity. But not all corn mazes are created equally. Out of the hundreds you could wander into this fall, only a select few earn the title of the very best.

This year, USA Today’s 10Best list of America’s top corn mazes has put Minnesota on the map. Just ten were named across the country, celebrated for their clever designs, impressive size, and all the extra fall fun that makes them must-visit destinations.

Ranked the 8th best corn maze in America, this Minnesota gem in Shakopee, has been drawing families for more than 25 years.

It's Sever’s Fall Festival, home to one of the biggest and best-loved mazes in the Midwest. Their famous Corn Maze Challenge isn’t just about escaping the twists and turns. It’s a full-on puzzle adventure.

Along the way, you’ll come across signposts with clues, and if you solve the maze puzzle correctly, you can even enter for a chance to win a grand prize at the end of the season. Talk about motivation to keep going!

And get this, it’s not just a maze. Sever’s is a full-blown fall festival with live music, wildlife shows, a petting zoo, and plenty of space for kids to run wild (while parents sip cider and wonder how they got roped into the bouncy pillow).
