Corn maze season is officially open in Morris County, and this year there is more going on in the corn than usual. One farm built a 10 acre maze around New Jersey’s 250th birthday. Another is running a 21 and over glow maze with wine flights and axe throwing. A third packs seven different mazes into a single ticket.
Here is where to get lost this fall, what each one actually includes, and what it costs. If you are pairing it with a pumpkin run, our guide to pumpkin picking in Morris County covers the full list of farms.
Stony Hill Farms, Chester
15 North Road, Chester
Stony Hill’s Maze Fun Park is the big one. The giant corn maze covers 10 acres and gets a brand new theme every year. For 2026 the theme is “NJ 250,” built around the fact that both the United States and New Jersey turn 250 this year. You pick up state history facts at activity stations as you work through the twisting paths, which is a nice way to sneak a little learning into a day the kids think is purely for fun.
The 2026 season runs September 5 through November 1, open daily. All tickets have to be bought online in advance, so do not just show up and expect to pay at the gate.
The maze is only part of it. The Fun Park also has a pumpkin patch, trike rides, a life size board game, gemstone mining, duck races, and playgrounds. Outside food is not allowed on fall weekends and holidays.
The one worth circling: the 21+ Glow Maze
On Friday, September 25 and Saturday, September 26 from 6 to 10 p.m., Stony Hill turns the 10 acre maze into an adults only glow in the dark event. You hunt down four glow stations inside the maze, and the glow item you collect gets exchanged for a flight of wine, sangria, or cider. Tickets are $30 plus online fees and include live music from 6 to 9, axe throwing from 7 to 10, apple cannons from 7 to 9, and a fire pit with s’mores. It is one of the few fall events in the county built specifically for adults rather than families.

Wightman Farms, Morristown
1111 Mount Kemble Avenue, Morristown
Wightman’s Fall Festival kicked off Labor Day weekend, and the value here is the sheer number of mazes packed into one wristband. Their Mazeland includes a giant corn maze, a hay bale maze, a rope maze, a paver maze, a rock labyrinth, a hay bale pyramid, and a hay bale tunnel. Seven separate things to wander through, which matters if you have kids at different ages and attention spans.
Admission is $30 per person, and children under 3 are free. That gets you unlimited scenic hayrides, one pumpkin from the hayride pumpkin field, Mazeland entry, apple orchard entry, a souvenir tote bag, and access to the picnic area with corn hole, hula hoops, and stand in photo boards. Parking is free.
Two things to know before you go. Apples are not included in the ticket. Everything you pick is weigh and pay at $3.79 a pound, and peaches run $3.99. And there is a 3 percent processing fee on all credit card purchases.
The other thing: their hours change by day. Wightman posts different closing times for Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, with the last ticket often sold hours before the store closes. Give yourself at least an hour inside before the gates lock. Check their site or call before you drive out.
Pets are not permitted, service animals recognized by the ADA excepted. Wear real shoes, this is a working farm. Store: 973-425-9819
Alstede Farms, Chester
Alstede grows a giant themed corn maze every year, and like Stony Hill they place fact stations along the route so you are picking up something as you go. The A-Maze-Ing Corn Maze is open every day in season, typically September through early November, though the farm notes that timing is weather dependent because it is, after all, a crop.
Daytime maze access is included with a Pick Your Own admission ticket, so if you were already planning to pick apples or pumpkins, the maze comes with it rather than costing extra.
Alstede also has two other mazes most people do not know about. The Evergreen Adventure Maze runs you through a forest of evergreen trees and is available spring through November, also included with Pick Your Own admission. And the Blooming Giants Sunflower Trail is typically open July through October.
For the night version, Alstede’s Harvest Moon Nights are when you can take on the corn maze after dark by flashlight. Farm info: (908) 879-7189
Ort Farms, Long Valley
25 Bartley Road, Long Valley
Ort Farms is the six generation family farm in Washington Township, and its corn maze is part of a full day rather than the main event. You get the maze plus hayrides, pick your own pumpkins, a petting area, and more than 20 flavors of homemade ice cream made on the farm.
One thing that sets Ort apart: there is no admission fee just to visit the farm animals and the kids play area. Full farm admission only applies on pick your own festival weekends. So if you have young kids and a short window, you can stop in, let them feed the animals, grab ice cream, and leave without buying a full ticket.
Current hours: the farm market is open daily 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., the ice cream window runs 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and pick your own fields are open 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Farm: 908-876-3351
Which one should you pick?
- Going with adults and want a night out: the Stony Hill 21+ Glow Maze on September 25 and 26. Nothing else in the county is doing wine flights inside a corn maze.
- Going with young kids: Wightman Farms. Seven mazes in one ticket, and the hay bale tunnel and pyramid are easier wins for little legs than 10 acres of corn.
- Already planning to pick apples: Alstede Farms. The maze is included with the picking admission you were buying anyway.
- Want a low commitment stop: Ort Farms. Free to visit the animals and the play area, and the ice cream alone is worth the drive to Long Valley.
- Want the biggest maze: Stony Hill’s 10 acres, open daily from September 5 through November 1.
A few notes that apply everywhere. Corn mazes are crops, so every farm on this list reserves the right to change dates if the weather does not cooperate. Buy online in advance where it is offered, because several of these sell out on peak October weekends. And go early in the season if you want shorter lines. The stretch from the first weekend of October through Halloween is by far the busiest three weeks of the year at every farm in Morris County.
What comes next. When the corn comes down, the season moves indoors and outdoors again: see Christmas lights in New Jersey and Christmas markets in New Jersey.
