When you live in Austin and the surrounding area, sometimes it takes a little willpower and imagination to convince yourself that it’s really fall. In other parts of the country, leaves may be changing deep red and golden colors and temperatures may be crisp, but chances are that in our neck of the woods, it’s still 90 degrees and sunny.
And we’re not complaining! (Who doesn’t love perpetually blue skies and sunshine?) But when you want to feel like fall is really here, there’s no better way to do so than by going to an old-fashioned corn maze. Luckily, there’s an abundance of awesome corn mazes in the area that the whole family is bound to love. And most of them run past Halloween!
Parents, nannies, babysitters, and kiddos alike will love virtually any of the mazes we’ve selected here. Get ready to have some fall-friendly fun when you visit one of the top 10 corn mazes in central Texas!
