Amazing Maize Maze

A three-acre corn maze cut into a working Queens farm, with flag-waving rescue for anyone who gives up finding the exit.

This is a real corn maze cut into a real field of corn, on a farm inside the city limits - not a hay-bale approximation in a parking lot. Getting through takes most people the best part of an hour, there are clue stations along the way, and if you truly cannot find the exit you wave for a staff rescue. If you have kids who want to be genuinely lost for a while, or you just want to say you did a corn maze on the subway, this is the one within reach.

What to expect

Timed entry into the standing corn, then a self-directed hunt for clue stations and the exit along narrow dirt paths. Expect an hour inside, dust or mud depending on the weather, and no phone signal advantage - the corn is taller than you.

Good to know

  • Take the E or F to Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike then the Q46 bus to Little Neck Parkway
  • Runs on weekends plus Indigenous Peoples' Day rather than daily
  • Allow a full hour inside; the last entries are well before closing
  • Wear closed shoes - the paths are dirt and get muddy after rain
  • The narrow field paths are not wheelchair or stroller friendly
  • Staff will guide out anyone who gets stuck, so nobody is genuinely lost

Common questions

How long does the maze take?

Most visitors spend around an hour working through it, though it depends entirely on how systematically you hunt for the clue stations.

What happens if I get lost?

Staff monitor the maze and will guide out anyone who signals for help, so getting stuck is part of the fun rather than a problem.

Which days is it open in October 2026?

It runs on weekends plus Indigenous Peoples' Day - October 10, 11, 12, 17, 24 and 25 - from 11am to 4pm.
