World’s Largest Corn Maze
The Richardson Adventure Farm in Spring Grove, Illinois, is home to the world’s largest corn maze. And this year, the maize-centered experience 65 miles northwest of Chicago is taking on an even more agricultural aura with all 24 acres shaped into a John-Deere-themed puzzle. John Deere—yes, he was a real person and not a brand invention—developed the first commercially successful steel plow in 1837, and he and his creation are lovingly rendered in stalks of corn at large scale. “Nothing runs like a Deere,” reads the top of the maze, right next to the face of Deere himself.
There are 10 uninterrupted miles of trail winding through 28 acres of live corn. The maze is actually created out of 4 smaller mazes. Each one has its own dedicated in and out path. There are multiple checkpoints throughout the maze as well as three bridges that will help you find your bearings while looking at the map. Finding the checkpoints is the challenge and the way to solve the maze, but if you have had enough and need to get out and get a fresh donut or a cup of hot chocolate for added strength and stamina, you can find your way out in just minutes. There is a perimeter path surrounding the entire maze and there are no dead ends in this maze! And it is completely up to you whether to do one maze or all four!

Me: Funny how often the parents of these cuties became great friends.
Even though I was yelling at their kids all the time?
Or maybe because of it?
