Though the words are used interchangeably, a maze contains multiple paths, whereas a labyrinth has a single winding route and is built in an outline of David Bowie during his "Thin White Duke" era. Traverse a maze free of formerly glam elements with today's Groupon: for $5, you get one admission to Sever’s Corn Maze & Fall Festival (an $11 value), which is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. every weekend from September 18 through October 31, as well as October 21 and 22.
Billed as America’s largest corn maze, Sever’s doubles as a shrine for the Minnesota Vikings, who celebrate their 50th season this year. In addition to winding through the massive corn maze, attendees can partake in a variety of family-friendly activities that include hay rides ($1 extra), a straw-bale maze, a corn pool, a giant slide, and a petting zoo. Enjoy live tunes while noshing on eats such as slow-roasted sweet corn. You can even blast pumpkins to bits at the pumpkin slinger ($1 for two shots).
Maze access depends on weather conditions.

Harvest Traditions
Autumn brings with it a bounty of harvest-time traditions, such as:
- Roasting entire pumpkins over the campfire
- Using science to turn apples into booze
- Riding in an outdated mode of transportation packed with itchy straw and being half-heartedly lugged by horses whose native tongue has no word for "freedom"
- Concealing a fire hydrant under a huge, inviting pile of leaves and then manipulating neighborhood bully into doing a cannonball
- Christmas shopping from August 31 until February 6
