Vancouver Corn Mazes

Visiting a corn maze at a Metro Vancouver or Fraser Valley farm is a fun way to spend time with family and celebrate the fall and harvest season.

It’s also a great activity to combine with picking up a pumpkin for Halloween.

A couple of exceptional places with pumpkin patches and corn mazes are Peteys Pumpkin Patch in Chilliwack and Maan Farms in Abbotsford. To learn about these and other fun venues to celebrate the Halloween season, continue reading.

Corn mazes are offered by select local farms in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley in late summer and early autumn. They are great attractions that have activities for folks of all ages. Most also have pumpkin patches.

Below we list some of the top venues to have fun getting lost in a maze within the Lower Mainland. Check them out!

(Note: Details are subject to change and some venues may be weather-dependent. See official venue websites for exact information.)

 

Petey's Pumpkin Patch

 

Chilliwack Corn Mazes

Chilliwack has a couple of great venues for corn mazes. Both of these also offer a pumpkin patch and other fall activities.

 

Peteys Pumpkin Patch at Fantasy Farms

Fantasy Farms is home to Peteys Pumpkin Patch which usually features more than one different corn maze for visitors to choose from. In previous years the farm offered a smaller maze for younger guests and a few longer, more complicated mazes for older folks or children with parents.

The same as the year before, in 2022 there were two corn mazes. There was a small one for kids at the farm’s Peteys Pumpkin Patch event. The farm also had a larger maze, but it was used for Reapers Maze of Terror (which is a serious haunted Halloween attraction each year).

General admission to Peteys Pumpkin Patch cost $12, or $40 for a family of four in 2023. This included access to the Mini Maze, animal area and other family-friendly activities.

In 2023 the place was open from 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm on most weekdays and between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm on weekends.

Check out our article about Fantasy Farms or visit the Peteys Pumpkin Patch website for more information.

Reapers Maze of Terror at Fantasy Farms

In addition to its kid-friendly Peteys Pumpkin Patch, Fantasy Farms is also home to Reapers Maze of Terror which is a serious haunted attraction. Whereas the corn maze at Peteys Pumpkin Patch is ideal for small children, Reapers is a corn maze for older youth and adults. It’s pretty scary!

If you like haunted houses and seriously scary corn mazes, you would love Reapers. It’s worth the drive out to see! In 2023 it ran from October 6th until the 31st.

Chilliwack Corn Maze

The 12-acre Chilliwack Corn Maze features a new theme every year. The 2022 design included both a T-Rex and a massive chicken and was made in partnership with Science World’s T.rex: The Ultimate Predator exhibition. In 2023 the maze had a special 25th anniversary design.

The Chilliwack Corn Maze’s address is 41905 West Yale Road. It’s a little ways off the Trans-Canada Highway just past the farm where the Chilliwack Tulip Festival takes place in the spring and where the Chilliwack Sunflower Festival happens in the summer and early fall.

In 2023 the maze operated from August 10th until the end of October. The maze was open every day in October, every day except Monday in September and every day but Monday and Tuesday in August. Admission to the Chilliwack Corn Maze was $16 in 2023.

See our article about the Chilliwack Corn Maze for more details.

In Maple Ridge folks can find corn mazes at Laity Farms. The farm has two locations – a North location and a South location.

 

Laity Pumpkin Patch (North and South)

The North location can be found at 21145-128th Avenue. Just across the street at 12725 Laity Street is the South location. It’s easy to get between the two locations – it’s about a two-minute drive or about the same to walk.

Surrey Corn Mazes

Popular corn mazes in Surrey include the Bose Corn Maze and a mini corn maze at Hazelmere Pumpkin Patch.

 

Bose Corn Maze

While celebrating its 22nd year in 2020, the Bose Corn Maze featured a large corn field with a design honouring Douglas College’s 50th anniversary for guests to explore. Throughout the maze there were a series of trivia questions that helped guide visitors through the junctions. The two-part maze took about an hour or so to complete.

The corn maze was open rain or shine during the months of September and October in 2020. From September 1st until 7th the maze was open from noon until 8:00 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. On Friday night it was open from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm and Sunday and Labour Day from noon until 4:00 pm.

The maze was only open on weekends from September 8th until October 12th. On Fridays the maze was open from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm, on Saturdays between noon and 8:00 pm, and on Sundays and Thanksgiving Monday from noon until 4:00 pm. (Note: A flashlight is recommended for folks doing the corn maze times at night.)

The Bose Corn Maze cost $7.50 for most folks in 2020. Seniors got in for just $6, though and children under 5 years of age were free. A family of four could have also paid $25. This was the same price as the year before.

Unfortunately, the corn maze was cancelled for the 2021 season. It doesn’t look like it happened in 2022 either. Hopefully it returns in a future year.

In addition to its pumpkin farm, Hazelmere also features a mini corn maze which is kid-friendly and designed for families with small children. The corn maze is a tiny one, but it is a corn maze (which is why we list it here).

Admission to the farm was $7.50 on weekdays and $10 on weekends in 2023 (beginning on September 23rd). Kids under the age of 2 were admitted for free.

Admission includes access to the corn maze as well as the playground, animal areas and other attractions. Hazelmere Pumpkin Patch was open in October from 2:00 pm until 5:00 pm on weekdays and from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm on weekends.

Tips & Advice

Some tips to help you make the best of your corn maze experience are below:

TIP #1: Dress for the weather! Nobody has fun when it’s raining if they don’t have appropriate clothing. When visiting farms and other venues like them we recommend taking jackets and boots.

TIP #2: The venues listed above are farms, so expect to get a bit dirty. Bring appropriate clothes and/or supplies to clean off at the car after your visit.

TIP #3: Combine your trip to the above venues with a visit to other places too. Most of the corn maze locations have additional attractions such as pumpkin patches and other kids’ activities on-site, plus plants and gardening materials in some cases. For ideas on other things to do though, check out our articles about Langley, Maple Ridge, Surrey or the Fraser Valley (all depending on where you’re heading).

TIP #4: If you have younger children, go earlier in the day. It’s less scary before dark and you get the added bonus of smaller crowds.

TIP #5: When visiting farms in the Fraser Valley, don’t forget to fill up on gas. Fuel prices are often much lower in Chilliwack and Abbotsford compared to the rest of the Lower Mainland. The region is also famous for corn in the late summer and early autumn.

TIP #6: If you’re unsure if a venue is open (as a result of weather, etc.) always call ahead. Some venues’ opening hours are weather-dependent, but others are not. If in doubt, double-check before you go.
