The Chattanooga area�s cornfield maze is growing in view of thousands of visitors to Rock City Gardens this summer. Rock City�s Enchanted Maize Maze is an intricate network of twists and turns carved into 10 acres of corn in the valley below Lover�s Leap. Rock City�s unique vantage point high atop Lookout Mountain makes the Enchanted Maze a one-of-a-kind MAiZE experience since visitors to Rock City will see the �See 7 States� themed design emerge from the cornfield over the summer and this fall can watch friends or family maneuver through the maze from the viewfinders on Lover�s Leap. Rock City�s third annual MAiZE is set to open September 10th.
Rock City staff and MAiZE designer Brett Herbst - the world�s leading designer of 300 corn mazes worldwide - hope to challenge the wits of those seeking to find the one exit from their mind-boggling puzzle. Mazes are growing in popularity as a unique source of agricultural fun for adults and children alike. Though the correct pathway can be walked in only 15 minutes, most maze-goers will require about one hour to travel through the more than three miles of twists, turns and decision points. As a tribute to its location, this MAiZE is designed in the shapes of the 7 states legendary at Rock City in the �See 7 States� view � Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Also on site will be the Coca-Cola Courtyard Playground, a millet maze for children, hay pyramids, tractor-pulled hayrides, farm animals and much more.
The Enchanted Maize Maze will give Chattanooga-area residents and out of town visitors the chance to �get lost� September 10 through October 30. The location is at the foot of Lookout Mountain, just south of St. Elmo. Cost is $7.00 Adult (over 12) and $5.00 Child (4-12) (under 4 are free).
