Minnesota's Best Corn Mazes
Each fall, intricate corn mazes crop up at Minnesota farms, wineries, apple orchards, and pumpkin patches, following the centuries-old European maze tradition. Simply maze-ing to see from above, recent designs produced locally include geometric labyrinths, the Minnesota Timberwolves logo, a headless horseman, and a Minnesota state map.
Most mazes offer maps and clues as guides, mazes for kids, scavenger hunts, and games to make them interesting. Most sites also have music, food, rides, produce picking, and other activities to fill an afternoon.
