Must see for Fall – Mesilla Valley Maze in Las Cruces

Mesilla Valley Maze

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The Mesilla Valley Maze in Las Cruces is a true family staple. It features a wide range of attractions to entertain the whole family. Since 1999, The Mesilla Valley Maze has hosted the oldest giant corn maze in the state.

The maze is thriving in its 26th year of business and the owner, Lyles Farms, is adding new attractions every season. When you get done navigating the corn maze, you can pick a pumpkin right off the vine or you can stop by Pumpkin Junction where there is a selection of pre-picked pumpkins, gourds and more.

You can get the most out of your admission by sliding down five of their giant slides, playing games and enjoying live music. More recently, the maze added you-pick flower fields. The cost of vases ranges from $10 to $25 and you can choose from cosmos, zinnias, sunflowers and more.

The maze is an ideal field trip location, but also perfect for an afternoon hanging out with family or friends. The Organ Mountains set the backdrop for the cornfields at Lyles Farms, which is a view worth appreciating.

Admission is $15 for adults, $12 for children 12 and under and free for children under two. The Mesilla Valley Maze is open now and will close on Sunday, Oct. 27. 

The maze is located at 3855 W. Picacho Ave. They are open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Learn more at https://www.mesillavalleymaze.com/
