The appeal of cornfield maize mazes is deceptively simple. Take a family of boys and girls, mums and dads, even grandparents, to a beautiful country setting. Capture their imagination through a wondrous story or journey, and let them re-enact its spirit and action. Give them new and intriguing challenges to solve together as a family, within a living crop of half a million giant cornstalks. Provide an open space containing several Six-Minute Mazes, each one a baffling and bamboozling brow-beater! Add other courtyard activities ranging from tests of skill and trailer rides, to farmyard animals and refreshments.
Most people are pretty good at solving mazes by the age of 10, so a little girl or her grandfather’s choice can be equally inspired – or misguided! Everyone can join in the fun, and you don’t have to wait in line to get started. Add sunshine, warmth and light, and take as much time as you like for this human recipe to work its wonders. The experience becomes a highly memorable part of every family history, and something to come back to, year after year.
