The 10-Acre Corn Maze and Pumpkin Farm in Hebron, Ohio
Ten acres of corn celebrating America’s 250th are waiting in Hebron, Ohio. This fall, Van Buren Acres has an exciting maze that will have you laughing, bickering, and creating fun memories that will last long after the sun goes down. Most groups need about an hour to find their way out, but everyone eventually does wind their way out.
However, that is only the beginning. Once you’re back in the open, a little dusty and still arguing about that last turn, the rest of the farm is ready to keep the day going.

The maze is just the start. There are over 30 activities included with admission, and here are just a few things waiting for you on the farm.
- 2 giant jumping pillows that grown-ups sneak onto too
- Hay rides and the cow train, which kids love
- Duck races, putt-putt, and a straw mountain
- A low ropes course for kids who like to climb
- U-pick pumpkins in every size, from pocket to wheelbarrow
- Sunflower and zinnia trails, blooming into mid-October
- Goats, peacocks, and a goat named Pumpkin
- Pig races at 12, 3, and 6
- Farm animals
- 9-hole putt-putt
Apple Cider Slushies and More Delights
When hunger hits, head to the Barnyard Cafe for an apple cider slushie. It’s cold and sweet and tastes exactly like October. The cafe is open Wednesday through Sunday with all-beef hot dogs, walking tacos, warm pretzels, and more. Fresh kettle corn, sweet and salty, is on hand all week long.
Weekends will keep you running on full. ousin’s serves hot, crispy chicken tenders and golden fries, while the Donut Barn keeps donuts coming all day. Honey’s dishes up pulled pork sandwiches and mac and cheese, and Lula’s adds more all-beef hot dogs. or dessert, the Dippin’ Dots stand has you covered, with iced tea and lemonade to wash it all down.
Rather pack a lunch? The farm is happy to let you, and there’s plenty of room at the picnic tables. On the way out, duck into Nellie’s Country Store for mums, gourds, and something new for the front porch.
Sunset in the Sunflower Field
Save the sunflowers for last. Around sunset, the whole field turns gold, the phones come out, and nobody is in a rush to leave. Just don’t wait too long in the season, because the blooms fade by mid-October.
