Getting lost has never been so much fun! With the autumn weather here to stay, we look forward to spending time outside. A guaranteed way to stay outside is to get lost in a corn maze for an afternoon. Whether you go as a family or for a date, below you’ll find our Smarty Guide to Charlotte area Corn Mazes.
Historic Rural Hill’s Amazing Maize Maze
Put on those walking shoes! The seven acre corn maze touts more than two miles of turns. We visited this corn maze before pre-kids and loved it! The key was to find the employees in the maze, as they had the maze graphic on the back of their shirts. If you’re up for a bigger challenge, try the maze in the dark on Friday nights. Be sure to pack your flashlight though! Weather permitting, they also have music and bonfires.

Fridays-Sunday: 10am-5pm
Weekday: Appointment only
Day mazes are $7.50 (ages 5-12) and $11 (ages 11+). Night mazes are $11 (5-12) and $16 (ages 13+).
