About the Maize Maze
Every September and October, the Maize Maze attracts thousands of visitors to Rio Grande Community Farm. The corn grown through the summer becomes 6 feet or taller – and has paths precisely cut by GPS technology to form the Maze. Proceeds from the Maze fund Farm operations, including growing corn for wildlife – and next year’s Maze!
The Maze is a puzzle designed with elements of deception. This type of design requires decision making and each move depends on the previous one. Solving the Maze is a great interactive family or group activity, yet each individual must walk their own path, and choose their own way. There are information stations providing hints to explorers within the Maze. Depending on how carefully you choose – and how many times you get lost! – “solving” the Maze takes about 1 hour.
