To exercise mind and body alike, check out the multiple mazes at WIGHTMAN’S FARMS in Morristown (973-425-9819, www.wightmansfarms.com). each year Wightman’s commissions an elaborate design that is cut into a 21⁄2-acre cornfield. This year’s theme, Island Adventure, lets maze-solvers work their way through an island, a sun and a palm tree— with the help of strategically placed clues. “It’s intimidating when you first look at it—you think, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m totally going to get lost in there,’” says regular visitor Jane Zielenbach. “But it’s fun—kids love trying to guess the clues, running around, finding a dead end and having to try another way.” the maze is $8 per person and open Saturdays and Sundays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. So popular are the puzzles that Wightman’s has added smaller mazes, made of rope, stone, pavers and small and giant hay bales, respectively. “Our mazes are mind-benders,” says foreman Adam Costello. “You follow the rules and see if you can get to the end.”
