There’s nothing as Autumn-y as a corn maze, unless it’s a corn maze + pumpkin patch + apple cider. Here are our 5 favorite corn mazes near Seattle. Bring the family, and enjoy the season!
Bob’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Farm
Bob’s corn maze winds through geometric paths that lead to a large barn at the center of the maze. You can also reserve one of the fifteen fire pits that are scattered along the outisde of the maze. Fire pits cost $30–60 per hour, depending on the size of your group (2–80 people). Bob’s is popular, so expect a crowd.

Carleton Farm
Carleton Farm has a new theme each year. This time: Paco’s Barnyard Challenge (barnyard trivia).

It’s a bit of a mind and navigation twist, as Paco loves a good challenge.
