Are you good at following a map, or directionally impaired? Can you zip your way through miles of corn maze or not navigate your way out of a paper bag?
The largest corn maze in the world is at The Richardson Farm in Spring Grove, IL, not too far outside of Chicago, and it's worth the drive.
You won't need a handheld GPS, for this one. Mazes vary in length and even the biggie, which is a whopping 28 acres and just over 11miles of trails, has a number of easy to reach escape routes built in to the maze.
