Anyone think corn mazes are amazing (or something else altogether?)
I saw in the entertainment section of the Dayton Daily News this blip for a "stroll" in a local corn maze, and I was intrigued. I am planning to go tomorrow afternoon (unless it rains, which wouldn't be unusual around these parts of Ohio anymore)

Has anyone here ever gone through one of these mazes? It looks like fun, but was it strenuous? Did you get sunburn pretty badly? Were you worn out? Was it as fun as you thought it might be? :shrug:

1. I am fascinated with labyrinths
Edited on Sat Sep-06-03 10:19 AM by roughsatori
But have only walked the amusement park fun-house mirrored ones. I want to find a corn maze in my area for the fall. PBS has a documentary on them that you can get on video from the library. I think it is just called "The Labyrinth." Here is a site if you are interested. It even shows how to draw a classical labyrinth. Have fun, use sun-block and watch out for the Children of the Corn (cheesy horror movie reference).

You should go to the one in your link at night with a flashlight.

7. Funny, this just came up the other day in some emails
Here's a link you might like:

http://www.mazeplay.com/mazes.php

And then there was this one that started the emails (I'm in Maryland):



Which can be found here:

http://www.co.saint-marys.md.us/Tourism/maze.asp

I'm tempted to check these out, too.

8. There's one here in the San Fernando Valley...
... about a mile from where I live, but I've never actually made it down there to try it out. Maybe one of these days...

:)
