Daze in a Maze is a field maze that has become a tourism tradition in the fall for many northwest Oklahoma families.

The cornfield maze was first opened by the James Jantz family in 2001. Since that time, attractions have been added, including a petting zoo, a playground and a dino dig where kids can dig for “Cowasaurus” bones.
