Indiana’s largest corn maze is dedicated to two beloved characters from the Star Wars franchise — Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian.

The Amazing Fall Fun Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch, located in Waterloo, Ind., is a 20-acre corn maze that is divided into three phases that make the monumental feat a bit easier to complete for those who don’t have hours to navigate through the corn maze.

This themed corn maze is open through Sunday, Nov. 1, on Fridays from 5-10 p.m., Saturdays from noon to 10 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.
