From Blue Ridge and Roanoke to Harrisonburg, Nelson County and the New River Valley, there are plenty of corn mazes within an easy drive of Lexington. Some are all about getting lost in the corn, while others turn the trip into a full fall festival with pumpkin patches, hayrides, farm animals, giant slides, live music and enough activities to keep the kids busy for hours.

We rounded up nine corn mazes worth the drive from Lexington and Rockbridge County, all within roughly two hours. Whether you are looking for a quick Saturday outing, a maze that will actually challenge the older kids or an entire afternoon of fall fun, there is one here worth adding to your list.

Jeter Farm | Roanoke | 45 minutes from Lexington

Jeter Farm’s fall festival is a classic fall festival experience, and one of the closer corn mazes to Lexington if you’re looking for a half-day trip instead of a full one.

Which One Should You Pick?

Short on time? Jeter Farm is your closest option at about 45 minutes from Lexington, with Layman Family Farms and Endless View Farms both around 55 minutes away.

Want the maze itself to be part of the adventure? Blue Ridge Mountain Maze stays open until 10 p.m. on Saturdays, while Yoders’ Farm lets you take on the maze after dark and even time your run with its leaderboard app.

Looking to make a whole afternoon of it? Back Home on the Farm, Endless View Farms, Layman Family Farms, and Sinkland Farms all have enough going on beyond the corn maze to keep kids busy for hours.

However far you drive, the goal is pretty much the same: wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty, charge your phone and let the kids lead the way. Worst case, you get a little lost. That’s kind of the point.

Before You Head Out

A good corn maze is designed to turn you around, but a little prep keeps that fun instead of frustrating. Wear shoes you don’t mind getting muddy. The ground gets uneven fast, especially after rain. Keep your phone charged, but pack a real flashlight for any after-dark maze since some farms require one.

If you’re bringing younger kids, agree on a meeting spot before you go in. And if your group is bigger than five or six, consider splitting into teams. Herding 15 people through eight-foot corn stalks is basically a maze of its own.

Corn Maze FAQs

How far are these corn mazes from Lexington?

Everything on this list is less than two hours from Lexington, making them all doable for a fall day trip from Rockbridge County. Jeter Farm is the closest at about 45 minutes away, while Joe’s Trees in Newport is the farthest at roughly an hour and 35 minutes. Drive times can change with traffic, weather and where you’re starting in Rockbridge County, so double-check your route before heading out.

When do corn mazes near Lexington open for the season?

Most corn mazes on this list open in mid to late September and run through late October or early November. Back Home on the Farm gets an early start, opening in late August, while several others kick off their fall seasons September 19 or September 26.

Which corn mazes are best for younger kids?

If you have little ones, look for a farm with plenty to do beyond the maze. Layman Family Farms, Back Home on the Farm, Endless View Farms, Jeter Farm and Sinkland Farms all add activities like hayrides, farm animals, slides, play areas and pumpkin patches, so getting through the maze doesn’t have to be the main event.

Can we do a corn maze after dark?

Yes. Yoders’ Farm stays open until 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and Blue Ridge Mountain Maze stays open until 10 p.m. on Saturdays. If you’re planning a nighttime maze, bring a real flashlight rather than relying only on your phone.

Are strollers okay in a corn maze?

It depends on the farm and the weather. Cornfield paths are naturally uneven and can get muddy quickly after rain. If you’re bringing a stroller, an all-terrain or jogging stroller will usually handle the ground better than one with small wheels. Check with the individual farm if stroller accessibility is important for your family.

What should we bring to a corn maze?

Start with closed-toe shoes, comfortable clothes and a charged phone. For a longer farm day, bring water and an extra layer for when the temperature drops. If you’re staying after dark, add a flashlight. And maybe throw an extra pair of shoes in the car. Future you will be glad you did.
