Corn mazes have returned for the fall season, with intricately cut-out fields opening to the public up and down the Wasatch Front.
One of the state’s signature corn mazes, Cornbelly’s, will celebrate its 30th year at its flagship field at Thanksgiving Point.
Anniversary festivities include a “Kernels of Kindness” campaign, where Cornbelly’s will have 30 days of giveaways on its social media platforms.
“We’ve been giving away all kind of fun things people can win, things like private breakfast with the Pumpkin Princess on the top of our castle,” Combs said.
Cornbelly’s opened Aug. 29 in Spanish Fork and Sept. 19 in Lehi, but preparations began well before, when corn fields were planted in the early spring time.
A design is cut into the corn field in early summer, and when it grows to maturity in the fall, a full-scale maze is ready for visitors.
“Obviously, the season that you operate in is here in the fall, and then you harvest it, and then you start all over again,” Cornbelly’s spokesperson Kamille Combs said.
When Cornbelly’s first started in 1996, Combs said cutting out the maze design was a drawn-out process using a modified weed-wacker. The process progressed in the last three decades.
“Now we’ve perfected that process and we can easily cut our maze design in a day,” Combs said. “And what I think some people don’t know is we have a company called The Maize and create corn mazes for people all across the United States and Canada.”
This year, the company sent out teams to over 320 mazes to cut out corn fields.
Here’s where to find corn mazes this fall in the Standard Examiner and Daily Herald coverage areas.
