Corny Maze

Traders Village is bringing back the Corny Maze this autumn, running from Friday, September 18 through Sunday, November 8. It's a ten-acre corn maze that works for different speeds: there are three levels of difficulty, from an easy path for the little ones to a more challenging one for the whole family. The longest trail takes between 90 minutes and two hours to complete, so you can pick your own pace depending on who you're bringing along.

There's more to do around the maze than just walking the rows. The grounds feature a pumpkin patch, a free petting zoo, and plenty of corn-themed snacks—roasted corn, corn in a cup, and popcorn. On some days, they bring in live entertainment to keep things lively while you're there. The maze is part of the year-round calendar of festivals and special events at Traders Village, which also includes the Sunflower Path, Cinco de Mayo, and the Christmas Drive-Thru Light Show.

Speaking of that light show, the site transforms after dark into a mile-long drive-through display of lights synchronized to music. They describe it as completely non-scary and family-friendly, so it's a good option if you want to keep the day going into the evening without worrying about anything too intense for the kids.

As for the cost, a maze wristband is $10 for anyone 3 and older, and free for kids 2 and under. If you want to do the maze and get an all-day ride wristband, that's $15. There's a group rate of $2 off for 20 or more people, which you have to buy at the Corn Maze entrance. Parking is $4 per vehicle. You'll find it at Traders Village, 9333 SW Loop 410, San Antonio, Texas 78242.
