5. Tom's Maze

The Buzz -- If you are up for a challenge, friendly Mr. Eby will put you to the test in his eight-acre cornfield. At the start of each year, Tom Eby begins the six-month project that ends in the construction of a complex maze. The challenge is not only to find your way from beginning to end, but also to find each of the 12 mailboxes that contain one segment of a 12-piece puzzle. After uncovering all 12 pieces, you will have a map of the entire maze, which will help you navigate your way to the exit. In the midst of three miles of winding paths are two observation bridges with water stations. The event attracts nearly 8,000 people a year, and the average time of completion is one and a half hours during the day and two hours at night (bring a flashlight!). Guests must be out of the maze by 11pm Friday and Saturday nights, and 9pm on Sunday nights. Groups of 20 or more may reserve time in the maze Mondays through Thursdays.
