You do not have to drive to the Hudson Valley for this. Queens Farm has been working the same land since 1697, and its corn maze is a genuinely hard one - clue posts, a map you assemble in pieces, and a Victory Bridge that only reveals the design once you have solved your way onto it. Around it sits a working farm with animals, fields and a farm stand, which turns a maze run into a half-day out.
What to expect
A briefing called a Stalk Talk before you enter, then a self-paced route through three acres of standing corn where you collect clue fragments and puzzle out the path. Allow an hour or more inside if you are actually solving it. The surrounding farm - livestock, planting fields, historic buildings and a farm stand - is open the same hours and included in the visit.
Good to know
- This is the only corn maze within New York City limits, on land farmed continuously since the seventeenth century.
- Tickets are priced separately for adults and for children aged three to eleven; toddlers under three do not need one.
- Free on-site parking is available, and the Q46 bus runs to Little Neck Parkway from Kew Gardens.
- Wear closed shoes - the maze floor is dirt and gets muddy after rain.
- Last entry is at the closing hour, so arriving with only a few minutes to spare will cut your run short.
- The maze is weather-dependent; check the farm's page before traveling on a wet day.
