Three farms within an hour and a half of Austin cut a big field maze in 2026. Two of them grow it from tall sorghum grasses rather than corn, which look and walk much the same: Sweet Eats in Georgetown and Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls. For a true corn maze, Jenschke Orchards is in Fredericksburg. Checked with each farm.

What to know at each
Sweet Eats Adventure Farm — The nearest big maze to Austin, about 40 minutes up SH 29. The maze, animals and rides need a general admission ticket, priced by the date you pick and cheaper three or more weeks ahead. In October the farm stays open into the evening, with fireworks on Fridays and Saturdays.
Sweet Berry Farm — No entry or parking fee: you buy tickets only for what you do. The Texas Maze is the big one; the Barnyard and Candy Corn mazes suit small children. Texas Maze tickets stop an hour before closing. No pets, service dogs only; closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
Jenschke Orchards — A real corn maze, open Wednesday to Sunday, with the pumpkin patch, wagon rides and jumping pillow on the same farm. Leashed dogs are welcome except in buildings and on the wagons. The farm doesn’t publish its price, so call 830-997-8422.
Hay mazes for small children
For toddlers, a hay maze is shorter and quicker:
Texas Pumpkin Fest (Leander) — an inflatable hay maze among the rides at the two-day festival.
Sweet Berry Farm — the Barnyard and Candy Corn mazes are the small ones, next to the big Texas Maze.
Not inside the city. The nearest big maze is at Sweet Eats Adventure Farm in Georgetown, about 40 minutes away, a 4.5-acre maze grown from sorghum-sudangrass. For a maze made of corn, Jenschke Orchards is in Fredericksburg, about 80 minutes west.
What’s the biggest maze near Austin?
Sweet Eats at 4.5 acres, then the 4-acre Texas Maze at Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls. Jenschke doesn’t publish the size of its corn maze.
Is there a corn maze near Austin open at night?
Sweet Eats stays open into the evening in October, with fireworks on Fridays and Saturdays. Sweet Berry closes at 7pm and Jenschke’s fields at 4:30pm.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes at Jenschke Orchards, on a leash, but not in buildings or on the wagon rides. Sweet Berry allows service dogs only, and Sweet Eats doesn’t say, so ask first.

Each listing comes from the farm’s own website, and for Sweet Berry also from what the farm told us by email. The date of each check is on the listing above.
Sweet Eats and Sweet Berry say what their mazes are grown from, so this page says so too rather than calling them corn.
