A maize maze is cut from a large field of living maize plants, most varieties are sown in the spring and are often one of the last crops to be harvested, in late September or early October. Your little ones will love exploring the naturally grown Maize Maze that have grown so tall over the Spring and Summer.
We know how important it is to keep your little ones busy on a day out, so we have sussed out which of these Maize Mazes near Wakefield will have your children exploring for hours (and sleeping soundly at the end of the day).
Here are a few around our area that are open this summer 2022 in and around Wakefield.

The maize Maze has been open every year since 2000 and the pattern is always something farm related. The maize is ideal for older children but it is still accessible with a pushchair too.
Explore the miles of pathways to find hidden flags throughout the maze. Also lost in the maze is Maize Maize, she doesn’t have a flag so is a little harder to find! If you find all five then you win a lollipop. Plus all the usual fun and activities on the farm!
Pre- booking advised.
Running: Mid July – End October.
