<div id="c3be0912bb716eee4ca644c1dfc4ecde4"></div>Along with Pumpkin Patches, Fall Festivals, Oktoberfest events, and great Halloween Activities (all of which are on the Fun Ways to Celebrate Fall listing) Tampa Bay's corn mazes are a key part of Fall and Halloween fun!
So technically, much of Tampa Bay's Corn Mazes aren't in Tampa—at least south Tampa and Seminole Heights and just north of the downtown. Most of the corn mazes near Tampa are actually east of Tampa in Brandon, Plant City, and Polk County, or the corn mazes are north of Tampa 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 Tampa corn mazes, you've got nothing to fear … until you arrive!) They're a relatively short drive from the Tampa Bay area, and they're well worth the trip!
Bonus Idea: Clearwater Corn Mazes.
