Some of us here at FFTC have learned the hard way not to let our minis out of our sight in the local corn maze. Others have kids that are ready to tackle those rippling rows of corn on their own. Whatever the ages and abilities of your family members, there is something for everyone at these Twin Cities-area corn mazes plus a harvest of other classic fall fun.

Applewood Orchard – our pick for families with small kids
22702 Hamburg Ave, Lakeville, MNÂ 55044
In 2021, the corn maze at this orchard was replaced with a hedge maze and we feel the hedge maze is a little more manageable for families with small kids than a giant corn maze. Small children will also enjoy the pedal tractors, corn pit and play equipment. And, because admission is free, you can keep your visit as short when necessary. You can read our full review here.
Opening Day: Early September
Tickets: Purchase at the farm
Prices: Free Admission
Extra Fun:Â “Little Farmville” is a course with little pedal tractors for kids to drive around. They also have playground equipment and a corn pit that are perfect for small kids.
