Eliada is an Asheville nonprofit that has been helping children since 1903, and its campus on Compton Drive in West Asheville serves more than 400 kids and teens a year through child care, pre-K, afterschool, summer camp, foster care and mental health programs. Every fall, the campus turns into Eliada's Corn Maze and Fall Festival at 49 Compton Drive, with an 8-acre corn maze, tractor rides, corn cannons, a bouncy pillow and a spider climber. It's not a haunted attraction, so it works for all ages. In 2026 it runs September 25 to November 1, open Fridays 3 to 7 PM, Saturdays 10 AM to 7 PM and Sundays 10 AM to 6 PM. Tickets are $15 for adults and kids 3 to 17, and kids under 3 get in free. On select Friday evenings in October, local bands play from 5 to 7 PM at no extra cost, and every ticket supports Eliada's work with kids and families in Western North Carolina.

Asheville families make the corn maze a fall tradition, and teachers bring whole classes out on weekday field trips.
