Remlinger Farm has been a Puget Sound favorite for almost five decades, featuring friendly farm animals, steam train rides and summer berry picking. Gary and Bonnie Remlinger started the farm in 1965, and almost 50 years later, the farm is still a memorable destination for family fun. In October, the farm has a fall harvest pumpkin festival and turns spectacularly spooky, adorned with scarecrows, hayrides, a 4-H barnyard, a "Flying Pumpkin" ride, a pumpkin patch with you-pick pumpkins and an autumn corn maze. If the corn maze tires you out, grab a bite to eat afterward at Remlinger's Country Kitchen restaurant, which features sandwiches and salads with farm fresh produce.

Bob's Corn, located north of Seattle in Snohomish, has a 10-acre corn maze that's open year-round, but in October, it's fabulously frightful.

Family members of all ages will enjoy Bob's corn maze, as there are no goblins or ghouls hiding within its twists and turns. But for those who dare to navigate the labyrinth of corn in a spookier setting, the maze opens after dark on Fridays and Saturdays in October – and you'll have to find your way with only a flashlight and the stars above.
