A recently discovered alternative to the indoors, going "outside," offers adventurous explorers exposure to things such as wind, sunshine, and the naturally occurring mazes found in corn fields. Leave the indoors with today's Groupon: for $8, you get two adult admission tickets (a $16 value) to Maan Farms, located in Abbotsford. This Groupon expires on October 31.

An excursion to Maan Farms tractor-pulls families along on hay rides; sends dates wandering through a corn maze and pumpkin patch; and grants goats, ducks, and other livestock a chance to steal visitors' hearts in the petting zoo. Kids can expend energy on a giant wooden slide and sandbox area before romping around the crooked houses play area or exploring the corn maze. On special Flashlight Nights, daring souls can try to navigate the spooky labyrinth after dark with only the help of their brave, bright beam. After perusing Maan Farms' pumpkins, guests may purchase their favourites in a range of sizes to accommodate all seasonal needs, such as designing a festive centerpiece or adding on a cozy backyard guesthouse for the holidays.

• The four acres of corn has been carved into two paths, one for youngsters seven years old and younger, and a challenging route for the more adventurous. – Jean Konda-Witte, Abbotsford Times
