I've been looking for a giant maze. I know back east they usually have them in the fall with cornfields and things, but I'm guessing San Diego doesn't do that. I've been to some pumpkin patch places in the past, but their mazes are for kids (short walls). There used to be an amusement park - Family Fun Center? - that had a permanent one, but I think it's gone. Anyone know where any sort of giant maze is?

Try Big Horse Feed and Mercantile in Temecula: Big Horse Feed (http://www.bighorsefeed.com/events.html - broken link) . They own a large property with a corn field on it just so they can do a maze every year. Enjoy!

Downtown San Diego is a big maze if you're in a car and you don't have a map. Lots of one way streets and dead ends, and an incongruously low number of exits.

You meant downtown Boston. SD has mostly 2-wayers versus the 1-way concentric cow paths of beantown, known as the Hub.

Speaking of downtown...Horton Plaza!

Awesome, thanks! I can't believe I hadn't heard about them before.

As for Horton Plaza - I admit to getting lost in their parking garage. It was bizarrely unsettling to be able to see my car but not actually be able to get to it.

Mission Valley... a confusing pattern of E-W linear streets, with similar names (Camino This, Camino That, Camino This and That), in conjunction with a river and a freeway, and north/south streets that don't connect you from one E/W street to the other, or they travel over or under the street you want, or dead end with the street you want to reach right in front of you. It makes you feel like a monkey trying to get the big cookie out of the too small mouth of the cookie jar.

Downtown's Grid is a walk in the park compared to Mission Valley.

Hi, haven't been here in a while, but enjoying this thread. My first dotor appt. after our move to San Diego was on Camino Del Rio South. Well, that was a blast to get to. We have been living here for over a year now and I'm still in a tizzy of snaking freeway ramps, Camino this and Mesa/Mission that, LOL.
Actually I find the freeway layout very good here. It's the ramps that make my head spin. I get on a connecting ramp and all of a sudden it's splitting off in 3 different directions. Before I know it, I've looped Dee looped up, down and around. Spun and spit out at the bottom of a canyon on a 6 lane boulvard with no exits and everyone is going somewhere, FAST! LOLOL!

Try this link for a probably the largest Maze in SoCal:
Big Horse Corn Maze

It's about an hour north of downtown off the I-15 on an actual farm with real animals and I'm not talking about people. Plan an afternoon for this.
