Does anybody besides me notice something a little weird going on with the tail? Particularly the LOOK of it?

Please, chewbaccawokka; not while the kids are listening!

Yes — this maze was great.

The best is to go at night — it’s pitch black except for your flashlight.

South Dakota doesn’t have much… but we’ve got corn mazes… and that’s all that matters.

I went to this year’s maze, and it was a complete blast for me and the kids. Here’s how it works:

– You get a map of the maze with 10 points marked on it.

– You get a card with a fill-in the-blanks type trivia (”The triceratops weighed ___ tons”). Each point has the answer to a question.

– You use the map to find the 10 points and complete your card. The maps is incredibly accurate, but it still made for great fun, especially when you moved out of the straight-line area and into the dinsaur design, with all of its curved passages.

– There’s a hidden marker, not on the map. It contains a specially-shaped holepunch that you use to punch your card. Show this punch at the box office, and you get a free concession.

I took my kids (10, 4, and 18 months in a stroller), and we had a great time. Highly recommended if you’re ever around Sioux Falls.

If you can, go at just the right time when the corn is high enough to block everything off, but fresh enough so that it hasn’t been trampled. There were a lot of places where people made their own passages though the corn.
