Sever's Fall Festival has been hosting its enormous corn maze for more than a quarter century. A favorite among locals, it's getting laurels from national press as well.

The festival's corn maze has been named one of the best in the nation by USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards in a ranking released this week. Sever's is in eighth place on the top-10 list.

The Shakopee attraction updates its corn maze theme annually, giving visitors new ways to get lost every fall.

For 2025, it's rolling with "Ancient Civilizations" as a theme, with a maze crafted into the shape of an ancient temple that's reminiscent of El Castillo, the Mayan temple at Chichen Itza.

Each of USA Today's many Readers' Choice Awards begins with editors and experts paring down contenders to a longlist of finalists.
