Though developed as a means of family fun, corn mazes have also proven to be effective traps for corn thieves and runaway scarecrows. Find an exit route with today's Groupon: for $5, you get one admission to the corn maze at Long and Scott Farms (up to an $11 value).

The corn curators at Long and Scott Farms pair up with the team at Maize Quest to construct a different agricultural labyrinth each fall. This year's head-spinner, Renewable Energy, will arise on more than six acres of artisanal fields adorned with a bridge, playground, and more tassels than Cowboys On Ice. Cornfield explorers can traverse the pathways with only their wit or consult the official Maize-o-Vision for clues and hidden routes. Upon cracking the maze's mystery, patrons can celebrate on the 60-foot super slide or purchase an ear of local sweet corn to teach the vegetable a lesson about confusing people. Although fishing and hayride add-ons are not part of today's deal, Groupon customers can purchase those upgrades for an additional fee.
