For your safety, wear shoes and socks, stay on the cleared paths and watch your step. Enter the maze under the golden entrance archway created by Oakley's, Rod Bates. There are eight numbered Corn Fun Fact panels to help you find your way. If you find all the fun facts in order, you will have successfully completed the nearly half mile maze and exit after #8 on the path to the left of the entrance. Need a shorter route for the little ones? You can cut across at fun fact #2, #3 or #4 and pick up #7 and exit after #8. Funded by a grant received from the Midwest Energy Community Fund, the Fun Facts make our maze both fun and educational.
