‘When you’re in the corn, everything looks the same’: it’s fun to get lost in California’s giant corn maze

Cool Patch Pumpkins’ enormous maze allows visitors a little uncertainty in an age of always knowing where we are

The owner of a giant northern California corn maze once crowned the world’s largest wants visitors to remember that there is fun in getting lost.

“It is confusing. It’s exciting, and in a world of GPS and constant signage, you always know where you are, where you’re going,” said Taylor Cooley, owner of Cool Patch Pumpkins. “When you’re in the corn, everything looks the same until you pop up on a bridge and you’re like, ‘Oh wait, I’m all the way over here. I thought I was over there.’”
