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 at the Corn Maze at Marini Farm in Ipswich. Choose between the following options:

• For $20, you get admission to Flashlight Nights Corn Maze for four people on a Friday or Saturday night (a $44 value).

• For $33, you get a daytime outing for four (up to a $70 value). This includes:

  • Four admissions to the corn maze (a $9.50 value/person)
  • Hay rides for four people (a $3 value/person)
  • Three shots each for four people with the apple cannon (a $2 value/person)
  • Four admissions to the jumping pillow (a $3 value/person)
    
    

Noises of jovial confusion drift from the 10 miles of wending passageways of Marini Farm's self-guided scavenger hunt, with a maze cut in the shape of an eagle and brimming with educational bits of American history hidden on plaques throughout. Journey into 10 miles of patriotic pathways with Marini’s game sheet to hunt for the 18 stations hidden within to learn answers to clues or receive sensible advice on dealing with corn-embezzling scarecrows. Patrons romp through the twists and turns in the cool evening air on flashlight-powered sojourns during twilight hours, and darkness amplifies the difficulty of the two-hour journey.

The jumping pillow adds extra height to leaps of joy after defeating the corn maze. The apple cannon tests true aim and disdain for fruit, and tractors tow passengers on comfortable loads of hay. Guests may also peruse the bountiful pumpkin selection to seek the perfect unborn jack-o-lantern or give the orange orbs a taste of their own medicine by treating them to leering grins.
