Corn maze
A corn maze or maize maze is a maze cut out of a corn field. Corn mazes have become popular agritourism attractions in North America, and are a way for farms to generate tourist income. Corn mazes appear in many different designs. Most have a path which goes all around the whole pattern, either to end in the middle or to come back out again, with various false trails diverging from the main path. In the United Kingdom, they are known as maize mazes, and are especially popular with farms in the east of England.
These mazes are normally combined with other farm attractions of interest to families and day trippers. These attractions may include hay rides, a petting zoo, play areas for children, and picnic areas. Each year a few of the mazes are featured in national newspapers and TV.
In the U.S., corn mazes are typically cut down around the first week of November; in the UK typically in September after children return to school.[citation needed]
Mazes may cover 2–9 acres (0.8–3.6 hectares). Larger mazes can have more design details.
As of January 2023[update], the Guinness World Record for the largest temporary corn or crop maze was 65.8 acres (26.6 hectares), created by Luc Pelletier in La Pocatière, Québec, Canada, in October 2022.
In 2012, a maze in Lacombe, Alberta, Canada earned the Guinness World Record for the largest scannable QR code on Earth. It was about 2.9 hectares (7.2 acres).
Designs may be simple lines, or they may produce an overall image that can be seen from above. Many are based on artistic designs such as characters from movies. Some mazes are even created to tell stories or to portray a particular theme. Complex designs include those featuring popular singers, movies, farming themes, patriotic themes, or historical events.
Complex designs may be produced by a specialty company.
