When autumn rolls around in St. Louis, one name stands out for maze lovers: Brookdale Farms Corn Maze. This iconic corn maze isn’t just a path through stalks—it’s a full day of fun, challenge, and seasonal magic that makes it a must-visit for families and thrill-seekers alike.
Brookdale Farms has mastered the art of the corn maze, crafting two distinct experiences from the tall, golden corn that defines the farm’s autumn landscape. The daytime corn maze is a true labyrinth, designed to test your navigational skills with winding paths that twist and turn through the towering corn stalks. Unlike some mazes that feel rushed or simple, this corn maze is complex and engaging, with plenty of surprises around every corner. And since it’s set in the heart of the farm’s cornfields, you’re surrounded by the sights and smells of fall as you try to find your way out. Best of all, in early October, the corn maze is quiet, with just a few other families wandering through—no crowds to spoil the adventure of getting lost in the corn.
But the fun doesn’t stop at the daytime corn maze. When the sun goes down, Brookdale Farms transforms into a spooky wonderland with Red’s Cornmaze Massacre, its haunted corn maze experience. After 6 pm, the corn maze shifts into Halloween mode, complete with jump scares, blood-curdling effects, and actors dressed as zombies and chainsaw-wielding farmers chasing you through the stalks. Paired with the Haunted Hayride, this haunted corn maze is perfect for tweens, teens, and adults who love a good fright. What makes this even better? Brookdale Farms plants two entirely different corn mazes for day and night, so the family-friendly daytime corn maze has no spooky elements—no creepy shacks or bloody hearses to startle little ones. The haunted corn maze is a one-way run, too, so you won’t get lost and chased by a zombie farmer at the same time.
The corn maze is just the start of the fun at Brookdale Farms. Your admission fee (only $6 for kids 4-11, $9 for anyone over 12, and free for kids under 3) gets you access to more than just the corn maze. You can hop on a wagon hayride that takes you around the cornfield, through shaded lanes, and to the pumpkin patch. There’s a “cow train” for younger kids, a huge inflatable slide, a bounce house, a playground with a zip line, and a barn full of friendly animals to pet. The only extras are pony rides, knockerball, and ammo for the pumpkin chuckin’—a fan favorite where you can launch mini pumpkins from slingshots (12 for $10) or fire the corn gun/pumpkin cannon for $5.
Brookdale Farms’ corn maze is more than just an activity; it’s a St. Louis autumn tradition. Whether you’re navigating the tricky daytime corn maze with your family or screaming through the haunted corn maze with friends, the corn stalks of Brookdale Farms create an unforgettable adventure. It’s the kind of place where kids giggle as they get lost in the corn, parents relax and enjoy the fall air, and everyone leaves with memories that last long after the corn is harvested.
