Richardson Adventure Farm in Spring Grove, IL, has been in operation since 1840. Although the crops and farmers have changed over the years, the spirit of the farm lives on. Bring Fido with you to see what makes this place the cream of the crop for action-packed fall activities. The farm makes the bold claim that it is home to the World's Largest Corn Maze, which your furry friend is welcome to explore with you. This year, the enormous maze pays homage to Back to the Future. After tackling the maze, hop on a wagon ride together, relax in the picnic area and enjoy a spooky story around the campfire at night.

Entertain on the Chain is a pet-friendly home on the water just a short drive from the farm. Guests are invited to explore the channel and lake in the kayaks and paddleboards provided, or stay dry inside the cozy house with hardwood floors and big vaulted ceilings.

The hardworking owners of Bella Organic Farm love dogs. In fact, they named the farm after Bella, the yellow Lab who once lived there. You and your pup are welcome to check out the "gourdgeous" selection in the pumpkin patch and explore the whole farm together, except inside the store and in the fields planted with edible produce. Take on nearly three miles of pet-friendly pathways in the seven-acre Sauvie Island corn maze that takes an average of one hour to complete. When you do eventually find your way out, take a free hayride to the pumpkin patch and pick out a future jack-o'-lantern to take home with you.

We’ve navigated our way around some inventive and expansive corn mazes on this list, but few are as devilishly designed as the one at Cool Patch Pumpkins and Corn Maze in California. You better hope Fido can use his tracking skills to find his way back to the rest of the fun activities. After the maze, take a lap on the pedal car or let somebody else do the hard work and enjoy a grand tour of the whole patch on one of the popular hayrides. When you’re ready to head home and start carving or cooking, select from the large array of edible and non-edible pumpkins, gourds and squash.
