Anderson Farms' Corn Maze Designs Through the Years

Colorado's Anderson Farms was among the early farms to adopt "agritainment" by turning its corn fields into a-maize-ing mazes.

Today, the maze itself is actually mazes, with four halls of corn sending attendees across 8 miles of trails covering 25 acres of land.

The farm's fall festival has grown to include several attractions and has become a family tradition for thousands of Coloradans.

Here, take a look at the decades of designs and how the maze has grown through the years.
