With ten acres of corn, five kilometres of twists and turns, and lots more for families to do after they get lost in the corn, the fun at the Belmont Corn Maze gets better each season.
With ten acres of corn, five kilometres of twists and turns, and lots more for families to do after they get lost in the corn, the fun at the Belmont Corn Maze gets better each season.
Now in its 12th year of operation, the maze was taken over three years ago by the Lunn family. This year they held a contest to come up with the design. It was won by local music group, The vogelJoys and incorporates their bird logo, trumpet and musical notes.
Kids can play in a corn box full of sand toys, climb the straw bales, paint a pumpkin, get creative in the Little Barn Theatre or climb Bill’s Tractor. There’s also a concession booth and picnic tables on-site.

The Belmont Corn Maze began just west of Belmont when the Farquhar family started the tradition. The third farming generation of the Lunn family took it over and have grown the attraction at a new location as a way for visitors to enjoy wide open spaces and learn a bit about farm-life.
Some weekends feature special events and exhibits by groups like 4-H or Elgin County Junior Farmers.
For three weekends in October, the maze becomes haunted. Then on Saturday November 5th at The Great Pumpkin Smash, the Belmont Corn Maze will provide the contest, games and tools to destroy your pumpkins or jack-o-lanterns.
