Are you looking for a corn maze, a working farm, or just want to get outside for a fall afternoon? Interested in a pumpkin festival or pumpkin patch? What about a haunted corn maze?
We’ve got a list of the best fall festivals and corn mazes in Polk County and across Central Florida. Below you’ll find corn mazes near Lakeland, Plant City, Tampa, and Orlando. Be sure to check directly with the farms on the day you plan to visit – they are all subject to last-minute closures due to weather and some farms may be closed additional days after Hurricane Milton. These weather related closures ARE NOT reflected in the information below.
Interested in visiting a farm or petting zoo this fall? We also have a separate article on Kid-Friendly Farms and Petting Zoos in Central Florida that are open year-round.
Editor’s Note: Here in Central Florida, there is some confusion around the term “Pumpkin Patch.” While up north and in the midwest this usually means a visit to a farm to pick out a pumpkin and enjoy fall activities, pumpkin patches in Central Florida are typically just pumpkins on the front lawn of a church because pumpkins aren’t traditionally grown in Florida.
