The Amazing Maize Maze at the Queens County Farm Museum is marking its 17th season of perplexing and entertaining visitors.

"In the past, out youngest visitors can get through in a half hour, even 20 minutes, pretty speedy. This is very challenging this year, so I am anticipating at least a 40-minute visit for everyone,” said Jennifer Walden Weprin, executive director at the farm.
