Some corn mazes are square and typical of a puzzle magazine, but others are designed by professionals and qualify as works of art -- at least from a bird eye's view. Of course, the curved paths that make up the picture's lines may play havoc with your innate sense of direction, but corn certainly qualifies as an interesting artistic medium. There are several new themes for 2009 at Detroit Michigan Corn Mazes.- Best Maze Corn Maze, Webberville
This year's mazes include a Woolly Mammoth, T-Rex and Sabertooth. The mazes are open on September 12th.
