The Exeter Corn Maze officially opens its gates for the 2025 season on Saturday, welcoming families, thrill-seekers and fall fanatics to a celebration 25 years in the making. This year marks the 25th season of the Haunted Barn, a legacy of laughter and screams that began with a single spooky structure and has grown into one of the region’s most beloved fall destinations. From now through Nov. 2, guests can explore five unique haunts, wander through towering sunflower fields, pick the perfect pumpkin from the patch, and savor the crisp sweetness of the apple orchard. “We’ve come a long way from that first Haunted Barn,” said the Cole family, owners of the Exeter Corn Maze. “This season is about honoring the past, celebrating the present, and making new memories with the community that’s grown with us.” Pictured is this year’s maze design.
