Best Corn Mazes Near Raleigh - Gross Farms in Sanford

What is the Best Corn Maze Near Raleigh?

Gross Farms offers Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch

Looking for a superb corn maze near Raleigh?  Gross Farms is well worth a visit!

Corn Maze Raleigh | Pumpkin Patch Raleigh | Gross Farms Sanford NC

Gross Farms has an absolutely huge Corn Maze, along with fields of pumpkins ready to pick.

Located just 4 miles south of Sanford, it's an easy 30-45 minute drive from most Triangle destinations. 

 

 

 

 

 

Corn Maze Raleigh | Pumpkin Patch Raleigh | Gross Farms Sanford NC

 

The 2011 Corn Maze has three different puzzles, with over 5 miles of winding pathways.   It's noted as the largest in the area, and I believe it!

We visited Gross Farms recently, and had a great time.

The corn stalks are tall and full, and the paths are neat and clean, with plenty of room for strollers for the younger kids. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Corn Maze Raleigh | Pumpkin Patch Raleigh | Gross Farms Sanford NCThis year offered an extra challenge.   Not only are maze-walkers encouraged to punch their cards at each "punching station" throughout the maze, but the adventurous can also solve a mystery!

Farmer Joe is missing, and it appears to be foul play.

This "Clue" game allows elimination of suspects at each well-hidden station throughout the maze.

Young adventurers will discover whether it was the Llama, Goat, Dog, Chicken, Bull, Pig, or Duck who decided to detour the farmer. 

We solved the mystery, but we're not telling!

 

Corn Maze Raleigh | Pumpkin Patch Raleigh | Gross Farms Sanford NC

 

After the corn maze, the kids couldn't wait to hit the playground area.

This is one of the best playgrounds in the area, with a huge Pirate Ship, a Fort, a Train, and even a toddler tricycle race track, with lots of sturdy tricycles in great shape and ready to roll.

 I'm not sure what it's called, but there's also an excellent trampoline-like jumping activity - it's about 15' wide and 30' long, and Mom and Dad can jump along with the little ones.

Pumpkin Patch at Gross Farms

We had a nice view of the rolling pumpkin patches from the Hay Ride.  

Gross Farms offers one of the better hay rides I've been on too, with a recorded narrative that was interesting and a little easier to hear than some. 

We learned that the Gross family has been farming at this location for five generations, and some cool facts about asparagus and other crops. 

 

corn maze raleigh | pumpkin patch raleigh | gross farms sanford nc

 

The pumpkin crop included some unusual colorings and shapes, and plenty of gourds too.

Pumpkin carvers can choose from pumpkins still in the field and on the vine, or from a nice selection already piled together.

There were several great places for family pumpkin photos too.

Picnic Grounds and Refreshments

Hungry? 

Plenty of options are available!   Here's a photo of their "Jelly Barn" with lots of fresh, local preserves and jellies. 

There's a full concession stand with hot chocolate, snacks, and other goodies.

If you're bringing a picnic, Gross Farms offers two huge, covered picnic areas with nice tables.

And on Saturday when we went, there was also a Chick Fil'A stand on site.
