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 cornfields. Leave the indoors with today's Groupon to Fresno Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch in Madera. Choose between the following options:

• For $14, you get two adult and two child Family Maze and pumpkin-patch admissions on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday (a $28 value).
• For $14, you get two adult and two child Family Maze and pumpkin-patch admissions on a Saturday (a $28 value).

The Family Maze is restricted to adults and children under age 12. Admission is free for kids under 2 years old.

Amidst a tasseled sea of stalks and sprawling vines, Fresno Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch stocks memories with shots of pumpkin-picking children and their maze-befuddled parents. Trek through the twists and turns of the Family Maze while unraveling its twists and turns from the inside, like a number 8 solving its own Sudoku puzzle. Average navigators emerge victorious after an hour, although those misled by false information whispered by bad ears of corn can catch up with assistance from roving corn cops.

After conquering the maze, families can descend on the pumpkin patch, where squash of all colors and sizes (available for purchase) awaits the hands destined to free them from faceless monotony. Admission also grants children access to a host of autumnal activities, including unlimited use of the bounce house, tricycle track, haystack mountain climbing, and full-contact scarecrow jousting.
