Giant puzzles cut into huge fields of cornstalks: is this fun for kids, or what?

Pretty much anywhere you want to take a fall weekend getaway, you'll find corn mazes: they're all over the country, and many stay open into October. Whether you're doing a day trip or a weekend getaway, visiting a corn maze is lots of fun for kids.

Often, corn mazes will have extra fun on-site, such as a pumpkin patch -- another fun outing for little kids.
