corn mazes

Stalk-walled autumn puzzles

Corn mazes are labyrinthine paths cut through fields of tall corn, created as autumn attractions.

Farms design them with dead ends and winding routes, often carving elaborate patterns visible from above.

They're seasonal entertainment, typically operating from late summer through Halloween: We got lost in the corn maze for an hour.

Also called maize mazes, especially in British English.
