Things are slowly starting to open back up around Arizona, and Halloween corn mazes are no exception.

Whether you like a leisurely stroll through a family-friendly maze with the kiddos or prefer to scream your way through a seriously spooky maze complete with creepy clowns and ghastly ghouls, you’ve got choices.

Farms throughout the state have converted portions of their land to that time-honored fall tradition of letting folks tromp through their unharvested crops. Some just offer the maze, while others have added attractions such as hayrides, pumpkin picking and, yes, zombies.

Prior to heading out to any of these locations, check their website to learn about any COVID-19 measures such as mask wearing, social distancing, timed entries and more.
