My daughter and I attempted to go last year (2014), for the first time, and we got lost, and we rode by 3 times, before we were convinced that we were at the right place, to find it was closed for the day. I strongly recommend that you check before going if they are open. I've never been yet, so I have comprised a list, and by gosh I'm going.......
Corn Mazes in Maine
The first maze according to "http://www.grandpajonescornmaze.com/2013/10/02/corn-maze-origins/" dates back to 1690, England, the residence of King William III not far from Wimbledon and still in existence today as a major tourist attraction. The first corn maze to hit America is said to be in Annville, Pennsylvania in 1993, as a tourist trap, another means of making money for the farmer, great idea!
Most of these corn mazes close the day after Halloween - So Have Fun & Don't Get Lost !
