Best corn mazes in Phoenix and around Arizona, from kid friendly to scary

With temperatures finally beginning to dip below 100 degrees and Starbucks releasing its fall menu — including the return of the beloved pumpkin spice latte — it means that it’s finally time to start your fall fun planning.

There’s so much to do in metro Phoenix in the fall: The Arizona State Fair returns, haunted houses begin to open back up, pumpkin patches start cropping up and corn mazes are begging for you to get lost in them.

While some corn mazes are perfect for all ages and include activities especially for younger kids, others are more grown-up and may prove too scary or challenging for little ones.

Here are the best corn mazes you can find around metro Phoenix and beyond to get in the spirit of fall and Halloween 2025.
