Two Chicago area farms feature mazes and pumpkins

Do the entire 11 miles of the Richardson Adventure Farm military themed maze or just one of its smaller parts

The world’s largest maze at Richardson’s Adventure Farm and activities at Tom’s Farm Market are a fall countryside drive from Chicago, IL. Go to Richardson Adventure Farm to wander through arguably the world’s largest corn maze. But plan on staying to do its zip line, feed the animals, watch a pig race and take a lunch or donut break. Or go to Tom’s Farm Market and Greenhouse to make a scarecrow. However, plan to pose near cute farm cutouts, buy a pie to take home and donuts to eat there. Work off the food wandering a five-acre maze.
