Now that you’ve done some festive autumn day trips and some apple picking at the best orchards in Southern California, it’s time for another fall activity that will keep you in the spirit of the season.

Here are the best corn mazes in California you’ll want to add to your bucket list this fall.

- Forneris Farms -Mission Hills
Forneris Farms/Facebook This giant maze in Mission Hills in Santa Barbara is good, clean fun for the whole family. You won’t find a haunted maze here, so don’t worry about anything leaping out at you from the corn fields. But you will find some hidden riddles sprinkled throughout the corn maze called CORNundrums that will keep you on your toes. Allow for approximately 1-hour to get through the maze. Forneris Farms is a blast for the whole family. 15200 Rinaldi St, Mission Hills, CA 91345, USA
- Underwood Family Farms - Moorpark
