The Kansas Maze is located on the Gaebbert family farm in Buhler, KS, which is about 50 min from Wichita. They have more than 600,000 Sunflowers for you to see. Each year, they have a multi-week festival whenever the Sunflowers bloom, so the dates are never exactly set until the flowers are in bloom.
Who else is ready to take a sunny stroll and check out some sunflowers? It’s the perfect time of year to soak up some sunshine and appreciate one of nature’s most vibrant gifts. There is a reason Kansas is known as the Sunflower State, and this festival is one of the reasons! This is a must-see.
Kansas Maze said on August 22, 2025: “Our sunflower fields are popping with yellow blooms, and the zinnia field is so colorful! We have several new photo props this year, including a GIANT BUTTERFLY! New games in the play area include the fun and fast-paced game of GAGA BALL! It’s great fun for the entire family or groups of friends.
