The owners of a giant Northern California Maize Labyrinth when it was first crowned to the world’s greatest wishes, as visitors must remember that there is fun to be lost.
“It’s confusing. It’s exciting, and in a world of GPS and constant signage you always know where you are where you are going,” said Tayler Cooley, whose family owns Cool Patch Pumpkins. “When you’re in corn, all the same looks like until you show up on a bridge and you’re like,” oh wait, I’m all over here. I thought I was over there. ”” ”
Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze along the Interstate 80 between Sacramento and San Francisco are again open to the fall season through Halloween. Back in 2007 and again in 2014, Cool Patch Pumpkins earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest corn maze.
The maze-spread over 40 hectares (16.2 ha) typically take at least 45 minutes to complete and have five different bridges that allow maze-goers to rise above the stems. It is also known for the detailed designs the team creates in the maze that can be seen from overhead. This year’s maze celebrates farmers. Former seasons honored veterans and the first respondents with huge murals included in the maze design.
“Everything is done by hand,” Cooley said. “We want to communicate something fun and exciting, and then we build our ways around it.”
On a recent afternoon, visitors from near and far wound their way through the maze.
“I have no sense of direction and we could spend all day here. That’s fine. We have water. We survive, three days,” said Ryan Moore, who was visiting Hawaii.
Likewise, Shelly Tang Joked Tang from Redwood City, California, who is always corn to eat if they are lost.
“My kids have a better sense of direction than me, so I follow them,” she said.
A corn maze in Quebec, Canada as well as those in Minnesota and Illinois, also boast of record -breaking mazes, either by area or mileage.
In addition to the maze, Cool Patch has a corn bath for toddlers full of £ 150,000 (68 kg) dried maize.
