Like a soap opera, a corn maze involves many twists and turns that can culminate in the reappearance of long-lost characters. Embark on unknown plot lines with this Groupon.

$7 for a Cornfield Maze and Fall Activities for Two (Up to $14 Value)

Twists, turns, and dead ends carve a 5-acre cornfield into a mile-long maze that serves as an aerial homage to Raymond Kaskey's iconic sculpture Portlandia while tying in elements of the IFC sketch-comedy show Portlandia. The maze combines mental and physical challenges with an easy introduction and a more challenging second half. Two 16-foot observation bridges offer elevated views across Sauvie Island’s rolling fields and the distant mountains. The maze is open every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with extended weekend hours in October. Guests may bring dogs during the day, provided they have a leash and baggie.

The Maize at The Pumpkin Patch

Many traditional artists paint linen or sculpt stone. For an agri-artist such as Craig Easterly, though, a cornfield makes a perfectly good canvas. For more than a decade, Craig has been chiseling through the 12-foot stalks of his 5-acre field to create what is from the ground a maze of rustling green tunnels and from above a stunning tableau of Portland themes and images. "I like to create designs that resonate with Portlanders and our friends in the greater Portland area," he said in a 2011 press release. One year, his work cut the city's bridges and rivers into the corn; in another he incorporated the Portland Timbers insignia into his maze.

Each fall, these Sauvie Island fields birth both Craig's famous corn maze and its evil twin, the Haunted Maize, which spooks its visitors at night with costumed actors and eerie animatronics. Along with its mazes, The Maize at The Pumpkin Patch also sprouts fall-centric family-friendly activities. Overall-clad patrons bounce along on free hayrides, get crowned king of the hay mountain, or mimic the beastly accents of farm animals in the big red barn.

The Groupon Guide to: Having One Million Dollars

One million dollars is the largest amount of money any human can conceive of, much less accumulate over a lifetime. Here are the extravagant items you’re required to purchase once you achieve the only financial goal worth pursuing:

  • Portrait of yourself stroking a fluffy cat and/or skull
  • Carelessly amassed pile of boats
  • Rare Superman comic where he punches out Eisenhower
  • A roaring indoor fire
  • A man in white gloves who isn’t the butler, don’t hand him anything (wearing white gloves is the man’s entire job)
  • Ancient statue of a dead Greek hunk
  • Oh man, a pool table!

What extravagant item can no rich person live without?
