Corn maze tips
There you are in a field of corn, acres of corn, cut into an intricate maze. Ironically, you can’t tell what it’s in the shape of, because all you see is corn. What do you do now? Your Kidding Around® team members created this list of tips and tricks for surviving a corn maze with your kids.
- Bring water. It’s hot out there.
- Bring snacks. There’s no telling how long you’ll be in there.
- Visit the restroom before you enter, whether those kiddos think they need to or not.

- Above all else, don’t lose your children!
