It’s corn maze season, and farms across the country have carved intricate designs into their corn fields so you can get lost in them. You may have heard about the mazes celebrating country star Reba McEntire, but what does the farm that’s home to the world’s largest corn maze have up its sleeve this year? Dinos. That’s right, the massive maze at Richardson Adventure Farm is Jurassic Park-themed.

The 28-acre cornfield is located in Spring Grove, Illinois, about 65 miles northwest of Chicago. The maze includes 10 miles of trails that form the Jurassic Park design. You don’t have to walk all 10 though—the maze is divided up into four smaller mazes, with easily accessible exits. Throughout the maze you’ll find wooden bridge checkpoints where you can take a break, enjoy the views and figure out where you are. Once you’re done, you can enjoy hot chocolate, donuts and other activities like train rides and ziplining.

Tickets for the maze, open through October, are $24 on Thursdays and Fridays and $30 on Saturdays and Sundays. Children 13 and under are $20 and $24 respectively. The maze is closed Monday to Wednesday. At the end of October, the farm will host Maze ‘til Midnight hours so you can tackle the trails in the moonlight.

Find more information and tickets on the farm’s website.
