15 Best Things To Do in Thornton, Colorado

While Thornton isn’t as popular as other cities in the state, such as Boulder, it’s a well-populated city that has seen impressive growth in the past few decades. Today, the city hosts multiple festivals and events that attract tourists from nearby regions.

Among them, the fall corn maze is possibly the most popular since the region has been known for its corn for over twenty years. Every year, there’s a maze made up of corn through which people can pass, being surrounded by tall crops on either side.

Other events happening at the same time include pumpkin carving contests since the maze coincides with Halloween as corn ripens at the end of October. Locals don’t miss it, and you shouldn’t either.
