Autumn brings a lot of fun activities to Hendricks County, Indiana, every year, and mazes play a large role in how families can spend their weekends in September and October.
We are fortunate in Hendricks County to have three major mazes -- two of them in corn fields and one in a prairie -- to explore, and they're all parts of larger fall celebrations and activities!
Let's take a look.
McCloud Prairie Maze
Hendricks County Parks & Recreation welcomes families to enjoy a stroll through the 52-acre prairie at McCloud Nature Park outside of North Salem while navigating the McCloud Prairie Maze that was designed and constructed by staff members. This year's maze celebrates deer.
McCloud Nature Park and its Prairie Maze open daily from dawn to dusk, and admission to both is absolutely free. You can find maps to the maze inside kiosks located at the front of the Ray & Mary Benson Nature Center and at the entrance to the maze.
Beasley's Orchard Corn Maze
Beasley's Orchard in Danville is a fun, educational and entertaining place to visit any time of year, but particularly during autumn months when their corn maze is open and their fall activities are in full swing.
Beasley’s 2025 design is "Humpty Dumpty Had A Great Fall.. At Beasley's Orchard!" Historically, the mazes at Beasley's take most people about an hour to navigate, and rubber boots are recommended, especially if it has rained recently.
Hogan Farms Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze
Up in Brownsburg, Hogan Farms Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze offers a huge maze annually. The 2025 theme is centered around Halloween with a large skeleton, bat and pumpkin as the centerpieces.
The pumpkin patch will be open as you prepare for Halloween, and Hogan Farms is hosting a farmers' market every weekend with several different vendors. They also offer hay rides and a Kids' Zone for additional fees.
