So technically, much of Clearwater’s Corn Mazes aren’t in Clearwater or Clearwater Beach – but they’re not that far away, either – just a quick road trip out of Pinellas. Most of the corn mazes near Clearwater are actually east of Clearwater in Brandon, Plant City, and Polk County, or the corn mazes are north of Clearwater in Spring Hill and Hernando – and even a particularly scary one in Gainesville!
But you’ve got nothing to fear (at least, for some of these Clearwater corn mazes, you’ve got nothing to fear … until you arrive!)
They’re a relatively short drive from the Clearwater area, and they’re well worth the trip!
So check out our list of corn mazes in Clearwater and near Clearwater – some are more Fall Festive-fun, others are haunted and a little more intense, and some change at night! Enjoy!
