One of Maryland's larger corn-maze operations with a comprehensive activity list, but pricing and 2026 dates remain unconfirmed.
Cornfusion has built its reputation on a large, professionally designed corn maze—one of the state’s most ambitious. Maze difficulty varies by design, so a maze that stumps adults might bore teenagers, and vice versa. The farm site says the maze is a primary attraction, with other activities (pedal cars, obstacle course, barnyard zoo, face painting) filling the day. If your family’s corn-maze enthusiasm is moderate, this may be overkill; if you want to really commit to the challenge, Cornfusion is built for that.
The activity roster is long: pedal race cars (for younger kids), a barnyard petting zoo, face painting, and an obstacle course. Whether all of these run during every weekend, how long each takes, and whether they have separate fees isn’t specified in available sources. This is a worthwhile phone call before your visit, especially if you’re budgeting time for a family with wide age ranges.
The website was updating 2026 information but hadn’t published admission prices when the record was compiled. Games, food, and pumpkins are likely separate from any admission fee. Call 410-374-1499 or visit cornfusion.net to confirm 2026 admission rates, what’s included with entry, and which activities carry additional fees. This is a significant outing, so pricing clarity before you visit is worthwhile.
As one of Maryland’s larger operations, Cornfusion likely draws crowds on October weekends. Midweek visits and early September are almost always quieter on farm attractions in the Mid-Atlantic. If you have flexibility, a Tuesday or Wednesday in mid-September means shorter maze waits and easier parking, though fall color won’t peak until mid-October.
Carroll County is rural. The farm is at a heritage site (Quality Evergreens), adding a slight rural-trip feel. Bring cash in addition to cards; not all farm operations process digital payments on-site. Unpaved parking is standard for working farms, so expect a muddy lot if fall rains have been heavy.
Call 410-374-1499 or visit cornfusion.net to confirm 2026 opening date, hours of operation, admission cost, group rates, and which activities are running. This is a bigger outing, so a quick call saves wasted driving or unpleasant budget surprises.
