Pacific Earth Resources is ensuring a longer season in 2000 by planting two crops of corn, opening a fresh maze in early fall in order to accommodate Halloween and the holiday season. We are also working on a Halloween maze experience for October, and a holiday-themed maze for after Thanksgiving through the end of the year. Creator and producer of the Amazing Maize Maze, Don Frantz, collaborated with Pacific Earth Resources again this year to create the Aztec calendar design. The Aztec people depended very much on agriculture and worshipped many agricultural gods, including Centeotl, a corn god. The Amazing Maize Maze opened to the public on Thursday, June 8 and will stay open through the end of the year.
Discounts are available for groups.
To reach the maze from the 101 Freeway, exit Las Posas Road and travel south about four miles. From the Pacific Coast Highway, exit Las Posas and travel north about 4 miles. After entertaining more than 50,000 visitors last summer, the Amazing Maize Maze at Pacific Earth will open early in June, featuring two different mazes over six months, each depicting images of this year's theme, intricate Aztec calendar. Officials today worked to prepare the giant cornfield by hand hoeing pathways. Ultimately, a two-mile network of paths will be sculpted across the field which, from the air, will depict icons of the Aztec calendar.
