The following list of Seattle-Tacoma metro area corn mazes are popular Halloween outings for many families and an alternative “haunt” for thrill-seekers. Some corn mazes are family-friendly, some are scary and creepy, and some are frightening. If you are looking for haunted houses and spooky tours, check out our big list of Halloween haunted houses and spooky tours.
A daytime corn maze can be a kid-friendly daytime getaway to a working farm. Most usually have pumpkins for sale, so plan to pick up carving pumpkins for Halloween jack-o-lanterns, sugar pumpkins for Thanksgiving pie, and winter squashes to brew up some delicious and warming autumn soup!
Nighttime corn mazes, even when un-haunted, are dark and can be scary for young children. So, if you must take children 12 or younger, use common sense. Go in the daytime to an un-haunted corn maze.
Some corn mazes are very scary and some are also haunted. Not all scary corn mazes are haunted–some are just dark and very, very creepy. Haunted corn mazes have screaming, ghoulish inhabitants. Some locations with a scary corn maze also offer a non-scary version, or a special “kid’s” time, when the scare-o-meter is turned off.
In the list below, we’ve groups corn mazes into two lists, scary and non-scary. For locations that have both, we list their complete information on both lists.
