Fall in Northern Colorado isn’t complete without a desperate attempt to escape a corn maze, only to realize you’re not as good with directions as you thought. Here’s your guide to the top ten corn mazes in Northern Colorado, listed from number ten to the very best, where getting lost is half the fun!
10. The Bartels Farm – Fort Collins
For those who prefer their mazes ghost-free, Bartels Farm offers a low-scare experience. Perfect for those who want to pretend they’re brave but really just want to enjoy a hayride and some pumpkin chuckin’. Free admission means more money for pumpkin spice everything.
9. Osborn Farm – Loveland
Simplicity at its finest. Here, it’s all about picking the perfect pumpkin and enjoying a laid-back hay ride. It’s a no-frills affair—ideal for those who think losing themselves in a cornfield should be a serene experience, not heart-pounding terror.
8. Garden Sweet Farm – Fort Collins
Get your organic fix here—because nothing says “I’m healthy” like getting lost amongst organic corn. After attempting to navigate this maze, reward yourself with some local bread or cheese. Because you’ll need nourishment after realizing you’ve walked in the same circle for 30 minutes.
7. Something From the Farm – Fort Collins
Featuring a quaint one-acre corn maze and a welcoming committee of farm animals. You might even get distracted by the gourd cannon or pumpkin trebuchet. Just don’t let the farm dog, Kona, distract you too much—he’s the real mastermind behind the maze.
6. Tigges Farm – Greeley
For the true autumn aficionado, Tigges offers more than just a maze. With roasted chilies and fresh produce, you’ll wonder if you came for the corn or the food. Remember, the real challenge here is finding your car after loading it with every fall-themed decoration available.
5. Northern Colorado’s Corn Maze – Fort Collins
This maze is a choose-your-own-adventure: regular by day, haunted by night. Are you brave enough to handle both? Enjoy a scavenger hunt and, if you’re really feeling fearless, try navigating with the kids in tow. Pro tip: bribing them with pumpkin pie works wonders.
4. Jack Lantern’s Corn Maze – Fort Collins
A staple for over 20 years, this maze combines daytime fun with nighttime frights. The haunted maze is not for the faint-hearted, but it’s perfect for those who love telling their friends, “I’m not scared!” while secretly planning their escape route.
3. Anderson Farms – Erie
With a staggering 25 acres to lose yourself in, Anderson Farms is for the true maze enthusiast. It’s open both day and night, and while it’s never haunted, you might start seeing things after wandering for hours. Pack a flashlight—and maybe a flare gun.
2. Fritzler Farm Park – LaSalle
Welcome to the Disneyland of corn mazes. By day, it’s all pumpkin patches and pig races. By night? Welcome to Scream Acres, where you’ll pay to have the daylights scared out of you. Just remember, those aren’t real zombies chasing you—they’re just poor souls who got lost last year.
1. Fritzler Farm Park (again, because it’s just that good) – LaSalle
Yes, Fritzler makes the list twice. Why? Because where else can you shoot zombies from a “Zombie Proof” school bus? It’s like living a video game, but with real screams and no respawn button.
So, there you have it, the top ten corn mazes in Northern Colorado. Whether you’re in it for the scares, the challenges, or just the excuse to buy a pumpkin, these mazes have you covered. Just remember to bring your sense of humor—and maybe a GPS. Happy maze-ing!
