IT'S CORN MAZE TIME AGAIN

The Milk Farm maze in Dixon, California, is the world’s biggest corn maze according to Guinness’ 2009 survey of the place, and at 45 acres, it’s two acres bigger this year! It’s so enormous it has a Starbucks stop in the middle so you can re-energize for the way out… if you can find it, that is.
There's never been a better time to be into corn mazes, for example, as GPS and mobile computers have made designing and executing advanced mazes easy.
If you want to stay really close to home your best bet is to start asking neighbors, friends, and coworkers where they like to go to get their dose of fall traditions. You'd be amazed at the gems, largely unadvertised, that survive based on word of mouth and generations of families visiting. We've found little cider mills, family-run corn mazes, and small but delightful pumpkin patches this way.
While word of mouth is great you'll find plenty of resources online to help you find all things fall-related. If corn mazes are your thing you'll definitely want to check out The Maize a loose conglomerate of maze owners in the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Poland. Another corn maze resource is Mazeplay, which also has zipcode and map-based search.
