Fall in SLO County just got a whole lot more magical! A massive Sesame Street-themed corn maze has officially opened at a local farm, and it’s quickly becoming the most talked-about fall attraction for families, kids, and nostalgia lovers alike. This isn’t your average corn maze — it’s a sprawling, character-filled journey through towering corn stalks that brings the beloved Sesame Street universe to life in the heart of California’s Central Coast.
From the moment you step onto the farm, the maze’s grand scale hits you. Carved into acres of lush, green corn stalks, this Sesame Street maze stretches far and wide, with winding paths that twist, turn, and surprise around every corner. The corn stalks stand tall above visitors, creating a cozy, immersive tunnel that feels like stepping into a living storybook. Unlike generic mazes, every inch of this attraction is designed with Sesame Street’s charm: hidden cutouts of Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and Abby Cadabby peek out from the corn rows, while colorful signs with iconic Sesame Street quotes guide (or playfully mislead!) explorers along the way.
What makes this corn maze truly special is its ability to delight all ages. Little ones will squeal with joy at spotting their favorite characters, while parents and grandparents will smile at the nostalgia of revisiting the show that shaped their childhoods. Navigating the maze isn’t just a game — it’s an adventure filled with small victories: finding a hidden photo spot with Oscar the Grouch, solving simple puzzles to stay on track, or racing friends to the center (where a giant Sesame Street logo waits for the perfect group photo). The corn stalks add an extra layer of excitement; their rustling leaves create a sense of seclusion, making you feel like you’re on a secret mission in a world just for you and your loved ones.
As a fall tradition, corn mazes are all about connection, and this Sesame Street-themed one nails that. Families can take their time meandering through the paths, stopping to laugh, point out characters, and snap photos that will become cherished memories. The maze’s design is accessible enough for young kids (no overly tricky dead ends that lead to frustration) but still engaging for older kids and adults who enjoy a gentle challenge. And since it’s made of fresh corn stalks, the maze smells of earth and greenery — a classic fall scent that makes the experience even more immersive.
The SLO County farm hosting the maze hasn’t skimped on the extras, either. While the corn maze is the star, visitors can also enjoy other fall favorites: hayrides through the farm’s fields, a pumpkin patch where kids can pick their own perfect pumpkin, and a snack stand serving warm apple cider and gooey caramel apples. But the Sesame Street maze remains the main draw — it’s not every day you get to “get lost” with Elmo and Big Bird!
Open on weekends and select weekdays throughout the fall, the maze is affordably priced, making it a great option for families looking for a fun, low-cost outing. The farm’s staff is friendly and helpful, ready to give hints to anyone who gets stuck (though most visitors prefer to figure it out on their own!) and ensure everyone has a safe, enjoyable time. Whether you’re a local looking for a new fall tradition or a visitor to SLO County, this corn maze is a must-see — it’s the kind of attraction that brings people together and reminds us of the simple joys of fall.
Walking through this Sesame Street corn maze, you can’t help but feel a sense of wonder. The combination of the iconic characters, the towering corn stalks, and the crisp fall air creates a magical atmosphere that’s hard to replicate. It’s more than just a maze — it’s a celebration of childhood, tradition, and the joy of adventure. By the time you reach the end, you’ll be already planning to come back next year.
