Exploring the Twists and Turns of Ken's Korny Corn Maze

By Sally Jensen, Macaroni KID Garner-Clayton-Smithfield Publisher October 17, 2025

This past weekend, we took our 6-year-old, 14-year-old, and two of my daughter’s teenage friends to Ken’s Korny Corn Maze for an evening of fall fun—and it didn’t disappoint!

We started with the main attraction: the corn maze itself. We’ve been to several mazes over the years, but this one might be the best yet. It’s thoughtfully organized and family-friendly. A staff member greets you at the entrance, explains how the maze works, and gives you a tall flag to wave if you need help. The maze is divided into three color-coded sections, so instead of wandering aimlessly for hours, you can take it one section at a time. Along the way, you’ll find letters to punch out on your card, which helps you track your progress and know you’re on the right path. Each trail is marked with colored rope, so it’s easy to tell which section you’re in. We spent two hours exploring and finding all 12 letters!



My 6-year-old and I ducked out after about an hour and a half so we could visit the Adventure Zone before closing—and wow, I wish we’d had more time there. There’s SO much to do for all ages. Their map online lists what all is in the Adventure Zone and you'll see that there are fun options for all ages. My daughter spent the 30 minutes running from one fun thing to the next and easily could have spent another hour in this area. 

A couple of food trucks were parked nearby, and we wrapped up our evening with freshly squeezed lemonade, iced apple cider, and warm mini donuts—all absolutely delicious!





Overall: We loved our visit to Ken’s Korny Corn Maze! The maze alone is worth the trip, but the Adventure Zone, hayride, and treats make it an all-around great experience. Plan to spend at least 3 hours if you want to enjoy everything they have to offer. Whether you have little ones or teens, there’s truly something for everyone—my youngest had just as much fun as my teenager, and that’s saying something!
