Just came back from Severs Corn Maze in Shakopee, MN. These guys totally understand the concept of the experience economy. Severs does a great job of making little things seem BIG. The petting zoo has monkeys and zebras. Seriously, I’m not joking. They offer state fair style food, covering:
- Fresh grilled corn on the cob
- Cheese curds
- Mini donuts
- Fresh squeezed lemonade
- And so much more
The maze, itself, is amazing. The really did a fantastic job with the concept and design. Here’s a picture of the grounds and the maze.
How freaking cool is that. That covered area to the left is a “pit’ of corn kernels. Think of it like a ball pit at McDonalds, only a hell of a lot more fun.
We had a blast as you can see from these photos.
This is the 12th year they’ve done this, and I’m genuinely looking forward to next year. The directions to their location are a little out of sorts. Here’s a Google map of where they are; in case you were going to plan a trip to this fantastic experience.
