On a beautiful fall day, I took on the Amazing Maize Maze at the Queens County Farm Museum in Floral Park, the centerpiece of the farm's Harvest and Halloween Celebrations through the end of October at the longest continually farmed site in New York State, 47 acres dating back to 1697. It's one crazy corn maze. They have been doing one here since 2003. 

"It's about two full football fields, a little more, of 24,000 stalks of corn that make up our corn maze this year," said Jennifer Walden Weprin, executive director of the Queens County Farm Museum.

This year, the maze is in the shape of the Unisphere at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park from the 1964 World's Fair. 

The maze is an interactive experience with two separate puzzles within. Collecting clues at mailboxes throughout helps one find their way out.

"This is, like, not even a joke. I am having trouble getting out of here," said one person in the maze.

"We just did it a systematic way. We just pretty much cleared out one grid at a time, and we are finally at the end," said another.

You can get help by speaking into tubes to some "Wizard of Oz"-like individual somewhere.

After about 40 minutes, I finally made it out.

That's when I was asked to do a little motivational speaking. 

"I know right now, it seems like there is little hope and you are trapped amid the corn of Queens. But you will, you will get out. Trust me," I said.

If you do get out of the corn maze, and I hope you do, there's other stuff to do at the farm, including a pumpkin patch, hay rides, food and plenty of farm animals.

And here's some good news about the Amazing Maize Maze:  

"We have not lost anyone, we are happy to report," Jennifer Walden Weprin said.
