Chilliwack Corn Maze and Pumpkin Farm

Greendale Acres is a family-friendly farm attraction. During the fall and Halloween season it’s home to the Chilliwack Corn Maze and Pumpkin Farm.

Earlier in the year, the same farm hosts special Easter Activities as well as the Chilliwack Plowing Match in April and Sweet Spring Flower Festival.

Greendale Acres has all kinds of fun things to see and do. There are farm animals as well as a jumping pillow, playground, ropes course, tire pyramid, petal cart track, firepits that you can rent, and more. It’s a great place for kids and their families!

The farm’s Chilliwack Corn Maze opened on August 10th in 2023 and it ran on Wednesdays to Sundays until September 5th at which point it was also open on Tuesdays. The corn maze remained open seven days a week throughout October. The 2024 season will likely be similar.

Later in the fall there are other events and activities too, including the farm’s Fireside Music Series on Saturdays in September.

Greendale Acres & the Chilliwack Corn Maze

Located about 90 kilometres from downtown Vancouver, Greendale Acres actually used to be called the “Chilliwack Corn Maze.” A few years ago that was its official name, but not anymore. The farm hosts lots of great events over the course of the year. Arguably its most famous event is the Chilliwack Corn Maze.

With corn mazes and pumpkin patches being a traditional part of fall in the Lower Mainland, the Chilliwack Corn Maze is a popular place. The corn maze has been in operation since 1999, with 2023 being its 25th year!

In addition to the corn maze and pumpkin patch in autumn, Greendale Acres hosts events at other times of the year too, including in the spring and summer. The farm is actually an attraction that’s popular with children and young families for much of the year. The venue can also be rented for private functions.

Where is Greendale Acres

Greendale Acres is located at 41905 Old Yale Road in Chilliwack. The farm is set on about 20 acres of land, about 12 of which are used for events. There’s the Chilliwack Corn Maze in late summer and fall as well as other family-friendly events and activities throughout the year.

The farm is located close to where the Chilliwack Sunflower Festival takes place in the late summer and early fall. The two venues are on the same road and only about a kilometre apart.

About the Chilliwack Corn Maze

Each year Greendale Acres constructs a new layout for its corn maze. In 2021, the maze’s design featured the word “Wander,” along with large outlines of a mountainous landscape. The design was meant to inspire folks of all ages to stay present and seek joy in everything.

The 2022 corn maze design was made in partnership with Science World. There was a T. Rex on the right side and a chicken on the left side. The maze connected the two different species as both belong to the Theropoda group.

2023 is a special year for Greendale Acres as it’s the 25th anniversary of the corn maze. Because of that the design was more of a simple one, representing the farm and its barn.

Fun Fact: The corn maze is usually made out of corn used for cow feed. The corn is not sweet and so is not good to eat. At the end of the season, all the corn from the maze is chopped up and fed to cattle.

The corn maze and the pumpkin patch are usually open at different times due to the different growing seasons of each crop. The corn maze usually runs each year from around mid-August until Halloween.
