These are just a few corn mazes that I discovered, if you know of any in your area please post a comment so others know.  For those planning on trying out a corn field remember to wear comfortable shose, bring bug spray and possible even sunscreen just in case. Some believe bringing a cell phone is beneficial in case someone does get seperated from the group.
