5 Corn Mazes Near Kansas City for Fall 2026 (Dates, Hours and Prices)

There is a very specific fall feeling that only happens in the middle of a corn maze. The stalks are taller than your husband, the kids are sprinting ahead yelling that they found the exit (they did not), and you are holding a map upside down while pretending you know exactly where you are. I love it. Every single October.

So I rounded up the best corn mazes near Kansas City for fall 2026, with the dates, hours, addresses and prices I could confirm this week. Some are big all day farm outings, some are quick and cheap, and one is perfect for a Friday night with a flashlight. Pick your adventure.

Before you go: quick corn maze tips

• Buy online when you can. Several farms price weekends higher and sell timed or discounted tickets online.
• Wear real shoes. Mazes are dirt paths, and after a rain they turn into a mud situation. Closed toe shoes or boots only.
• Long pants win. Corn leaves are scratchy, and little legs get the worst of it.
• Bring water. A 10 acre maze can take 30 to 45 minutes, longer with a toddler who wants to inspect every cob.
• Check the weather and the website the morning of. Farms close for storms and wet fields, and hours shift late in the season.

1. Louisburg Cider Mill, Louisburg, Kansas

This is the classic. Louisburg Cider Mill runs its Family Farm from September 11 through November 1, 2026, and the 10 acre corn maze this year has an America 250th anniversary theme. The farm says to plan on about 30 to 45 minutes in the maze, and flashlights are welcome on the late nights.

• Where: 14730 K-68 Highway, Louisburg, KS 66053
• Hours: Monday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Admission: $15.99 Monday to Thursday, $18.99 Friday to Sunday, kids 2 and under free, parking free
• Good to know: The jump pillow is an extra $2, and you can pick pumpkins off the vine or grab pre picked ones.

Mom tip: do not leave without cider donuts. That is the whole reason we get in the car. Plan the maze first, then reward everyone at the country store.

2. The Fun Farm, Kearney, Missouri

If you want a full day where the corn maze is just one stop, the Fun Farm in Kearney is your place. Admission covers the pumpkin patch, the Happy Apple orchard, the corn maze and 30 plus attractions and barnyard animals. Picking produce to take home costs extra.

• Where: 650 N. Jefferson St., Kearney, MO 64060
• Season: September 18 through November 1, 2026
• October hours: Monday and Thursday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Wednesday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., closed Tuesdays
• Online tickets: $19.95 weekdays, $24.95 weekends. A combo with their Jacks in the Night event is $49.95.

Go on a weekday afternoon if you can swing it. It is cheaper, the lines are shorter, and you will actually get a turn on the slides.

3. Liberty Corn Maze at Carolyn’s Country Cousins, Liberty, Missouri

Up north, the Liberty Corn Maze sits on the same land as Carolyn’s Pumpkin Patch, and the 2026 maze design honors the 250th anniversary of the United States. New this year are silo slides, a small history museum and a bandstand, and the maze is known for its night hours, so bring a flashlight and make it a date.

• Where: 17607 NE 52nd St., Liberty, MO 64068
• Maze hours: Weekends, with Friday evening, Saturday afternoon into the night and Sunday afternoon hours. Check the maze site before you go, since times shift through the season.
• Admission: When I checked, October maze tickets were listed at $18 for ages 13 and up, $16 for kids 3 to 12, and free for 2 and under. Combo tickets with the pumpkin patch are available.

4. Carolyn’s Pumpkin Patch, Liberty, Missouri

If your crew is on the younger side, pair the maze with a pumpkin patch day at Carolyn’s. The 2026 season runs September 19 through October 31, open Thursday through Monday, with jumping pillows, yard games and plenty of pumpkins to haul home. Ticket prices change by date, and buying online saves $3.

• Where: 17607 NE 52nd St., Liberty, MO 64068
• Days: Thursday through Monday, September 19 to October 31, 2026
• Tickets: Pricing varies by date, so check their calendar and buy online for the discount.

5. Kerby Farm Pumpkin Patch, Bonner Springs, Kansas

Kerby Farm is my pick for families who want an easy, low key, budget friendly afternoon. It is only open three days a week, but admission is just $8 per person for ages 3 and up, and you get a corn maze, hayride, farm animals and pumpkin picking.

• Where: 15943 158th St., Bonner Springs, KS
• Season: September 26 through October 25, 2026
• Hours: Friday noon to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday noon to 6 p.m.
• Admission: $8 per person, ages 3 and up

What to bring to a Kansas City corn maze

After a few years of learning the hard way, this is what lives in my car all October:

• Hunter kids rain boots. Mazes after a rainy week are a mud pit, and these hose right off.
• Simple Modern Summit water bottle with a straw lid. Leak proof enough to toss in a backpack, and kids can actually open it themselves.
• REI Range 300 headlamp. For night mazes at Louisburg or Liberty. Way better than holding your phone flashlight the whole time.
• A collapsible wagon. Hauls tired toddlers in and pumpkins out. Folds flat in the trunk.

Also: a change of socks, wet wipes, hand sanitizer, and a small snack for the inevitable meltdown at minute 25. Dress in layers too. Kansas City in October can go from 48 degrees to 78 degrees between breakfast and lunch. My pumpkin patch outfit guide works for corn mazes too.

Which corn maze is right for your family?

• Toddlers and preschoolers: Kerby Farm or Carolyn’s. Smaller, cheaper and easy to bail on at nap time.
• Big kids who want to run all day: The Fun Farm in Kearney.
• Date night or teens: A Friday night maze at Louisburg or Liberty with headlamps.
• Cider donut people (me): Louisburg, every time.
