5 of The Biggest & Best Corn Mazes in Illinois

Illinois fall fun lovers, we are so blessed to have the most incredible corn mazes anywhere in the world. Enough styles and locations to please every taste.

On more than one occasion, I've heard people make this statement about Illinois, in a rather derogatory tone.

Illinois is nothing but cornfields.

We're not all cornfields, but we sure do have a lot of them. And that's why I get to share these great places to take your family this fall.

The benefit of being 'nothing but cornfields' means Illinois has many fun and challenging places to 'get lost' in one.

Illinois Best and Biggest Corn Mazes

Below, are some of the most amazing corn maze experiences in the state. Big ones, small ones, challenging ones, and ones for all skill levels. Even some of the big mazes have smaller sections for small children.

Kroll's Fall Harvest Farm

While some corn mazes are part of a very large pumpkin patch, orchard, or commercialized farm market, Kroll's is a smaller, family-owned Agriculture Education Farm. Kroll's Fall Harvest Farm is located at 13236 W Town Line Road in Waukegan, Illinois. Just because the farm is small, doesn't mean that's the case for their corn maze.

Just looking at the path to the maze will take your breath away.
