Get lost.
No really. Get lost on purpose - for fun - at one of the numerous corn mazes that are currently in season here in south central Wisconsin. Mastering a corn maze requires logic, physical stamina and tenacity, and is an enjoyable adventure for the entire family.
Here are some of the area's best corn mazes:
New this year - and located in urban Madison - is a corn maze which benefits the Keep Wisconsin Warm/Cool Fund. Located in Old Sauk Office Park, the maze in the shape of the KWWF logo is open during October weekends. Hours and pricing.
