Where: 670 Cedarview Rd., Ottawa, ON
The Log Farm is an old-fashioned farm specially designed for families with young children. Unravel the twists and turns of the corn maze together before taking the kids on a wagon ride through golden fields full of silly scarecrows. Play areas like the Enchanted Forest trail and the Kids Barn are also popular with little ones looking to learn, discover, and have fun.
Citrouilleville
Where: 560 69e Ave., Saint-Zotique, QC
The corn maze at Citrouilleville is massive, covering an area equivalent to 12 football fields. As you wander the path, you have a mission: find the Corn King, who got lost in the maze after a full moon party. You’ll also want to snap some pictures at the vintage photobooths and explore a village made entirely of pumpkins.
Maple Hill Urban Farm
Where: 200 Moodie Dr., Ottawa, ON
The corn maze at Maple Hill Urban Farm is different each year, so you can get lost in a new puzzle every time you visit. You’ll become an expert navigator, winding through yellow stalks as the crisp fall air rattles the corn husks. After you uncover the exit, you can take a walk with a friendly, fluffy alpaca across the grounds.
Ouimet Farms
Where: 63 Main St. W., Vankleek Hill, ON
Ouimet Farms is a working self-titled “agri-tainment” farm that boasts a seven-acre corn maze. Each year is different, with 2025’s design commemorating the future face of Canada’s five-dollar bill—national icon Terry Fox. After you’ve solved the maze, bounce on the jumping pillow, take a pedal kart for a spin and pan for treasure at the gemstone mining station.
Mountain Orchards
Where: 10175 Clark Rd., Mountain, ON
The team at Mountain Orchards uses their annual corn maze to give back to the community. Each year, the farm collects donations for a special cause and designs its maze with that fundraiser in mind. Use the smell of delicious cider donuts to guide you past wrong turns, then grab a bag of fresh apples at the farm store or pick your own from the many varieties that the orchard offers.
Proulx Farm
Where: 1865 O’Toole Rd., Ottawa, ON
Proulx Farm is a fixture in the Cumberland community, a place where families have made memories for over 100 years. Form some of your own as you work together to solve the zigzagging pathways of the corn maze. The farm’s annual Pumpkin Fest also features U-pick pumpkins and a variety of activities for kids, including wagon rides and a petting zoo.
La Belle de Coteau-du-Lac
Where: 75 Rte. 201, Coteau-du-Lac, QC
Celebrate the Halloween season at a corn maze where you can choose from three different experiences.
For families with children, the daytime excursion is best for taking adorable pictures at photobooths around the farm. Adults and teens can visit the Abominable Labyrinth, the nighttime experience where terror waits around every corner. If you want a spooky aesthetic but hate jump scares, consider visiting on an evening when the only surprises are the Halloween sound and light show illuminating the maze.
