The corn field installation art was a true gem in the Irish village! The design was very interesting, and it also provided the reflection of the true root of ohio (the corn industry). Each corn looks different at the height of an adult. We had a great time playing here and taking pictures. Also recommend visitors to spend some time in the Irish village downtown area!
The field of corn is arguably the worst used piece of land in all of Dublin. Whoever is running the field should be ashamed. The corn could be a great community event if we decorated it throughout the year during holidays. For now, the corn simply serves as a poor tourist location and a spot for local teens to hammock. Such a shame what wasted potential.
Perfect remider if you are driving by that you are in Ohio if you happened to forget.Waste of space and money. The small plot of land would have been better used as green space with trees and a short walking path. Even then it wouldnt be that useful as there is NO PARKING available anyway.
A lot of fun, easy to access, side road parking. If you are in a wheelchair you will need someone to help push, for manual or electric. There is no sidewalk leading up to this art. Nothing immediately around it to get a drink or bathroom, but they are within just a couple min drive.
The corn was dry, hard and completely undercooked. I asked for the manager, yet the God of Corn kept telling me to βstop eating the cementβ and that βthe corn isnβt realβ. Well Cornelius, if the corn wasnβt real, then how was it in my mouth? Terrible service, but perfect if you would like to be harassed about your corn-eating habits.I will be informing the rest of the Royal Family immediately, Sincerely, The Queen of England.
Its a field of cement corn. If you like corn or corn-related art sculptures, this is the field for you. But for everyone else, there is not much to do (besides look at cement corn). Might as well stop once just so you can say you ran through a field of giant grey corncobs.
Field of Corn was the best experience of my entire 47 years of life. I drove my 93 year old grandfather out to Ohio specifically to see Feild of Corn, (FOC for short) as it was his dying wish. As soon as he laid eyes on this spectacular feat of human engineering, he said to me, Joseph, I am finally happy. My life has been filled with sorrow and stress sense the day I was born, but I am finally happy. I can die now. And with that, he passed away peacefully his jet-pack wheelchair, powered by Corn. The service was beautiful. And by service I mean he was buried in a pile of corn and by beautiful I mean a pile of corn.Anyway, suffice to say, FOC has changed my life. After my grandfather passed, I became a corn farmer in his honor. My family is extremely grateful to FOC. Thank you, corn. I love you.-Joesph Cornton, corn farmer and corn expert
The corn was absolutely gorgeous. I couldnt believe that such a small and unassuming town as Dublin could be home to this masterpiece. The sculpture lends itself to so many wonderful purposes; tag, hide and seek, civil war reenactments, soccer, free soloing, the list goes on. After viewing the amazing creation with my own eyes, Im now quite certain I will be having my wedding here.
When I first heard of this place, I thought it would be just a weird sculpture. However, it was actually really cool, and I loved the plaques on the outside of the field of corn which explained the history of corn farming in the region and the history of this sculpture itself. This ended up being a very cool lesson on regional agriculture and the history of the area. I would make this a must-stop if youβre in the area!
Truly a wonderful piece of art. It truly hints at humanities downfall as a race. It shows that we as humans need to attempt to restore the likes of kindness and the simplicity of older times. I feel as though when I was in the so called Field of Corn, I was able to reflect on my time on this planet. This Field for in which corn is held helped me set my true priorities straight. The universe is a highly complex entity, but this Field of Corn helped me realize what it really means...
Nothing here beyond what you see in other peoples photos. Its a smallish field of rows and rows of 10 foot high shucked corn cobs made out of cement. Admittedly I am usually done pretty quickly at an art gallery or museum, but I really dont get this one. Its just, well, corn.
This exhibit truly opens the eyes to the wonder that is corn. The rhythm of the statues dancing through the open field reveal the diverse utility this grain has taken on in industry, finance, and entertainment from Americaβs conception. Personally, I reflected on the ways corn has impacted my own life. I see myself buying corn on the S&P 500 while sipping bourbon before jumping in my ethanol fueled Fiat 147 to head down to watch the latest blockbuster with a gallon bucket of popcorn in my lap. Itβs hard to see life in America without the charm of maize. More than a mere resource, corn is a commentary on the American way of life. Please visit this awe inspiring exhibit.
I donβt know what you are all talking about. I found the corn to taste just fine. Maybe you werenβt eating it during itβs ripe season. Or perhaps you had a light stomach on the day. My dining experience was exquisite and there was plenty o corn to go around. My stomach dies feel a little heavy at the moment, and I seem to be foaming at the mouth quite a bit, but I assume that this is just an integral part of the unique experience.
That place you drive by and cant help but wonder what the. The thought i had as we drove by. My family had to stop and see the corn. Theyre all kind of unique if you look at them closely. You could even have a picnic here if youd like. Theyre benches to sit on underneath trees in the shade if it is a hot day.
Was just riding around on the bike and stumbled upon this gem. Had no clue it was there but it was a nice surprise! It was a bit of surreal experience, especially since I wasnt expecting it. Standalone not really something that youd go and see since what you see is all that you get, but historic Dublin is only a few minutes away so theres more to do if you want to make a trip of it!
Just like the name says, its a pretty small field of these large concrete ears of corn. Not really sure where we were supposed to park, there was a big lot out once you pulled in but Im pretty sure it belong to the company whos building it was. You will definitely notice it driving up. There are some small signs with some history, takes probably 20 to 30 minutes to slowly read and process.
Located in the intersection of Frantz Road and Rings Road, the Field of Giant Corn Cobs is hard to miss. I entered Rings Road and immediately looked for a parking space. Unfortunately, this site didnt have its own parking lot so I had to drive around it to find one. Since it was a weekend, I parked in an empty roundabout, probably owned by those corporate offices surrounding the site.It was odd seeing the Field of Corn located in such a suburban neighborhood. I was expecting it to be surrounded by real corn fields. Oh well, the site was not huge. From where I parked, it was not even impressive to see. The field looked like a memorial site.Will I recommend the site? For those passing through Dublin Ohio, stop by it, take photos, and leave. But for those wanting to see this site alone, it may not be worth the trip. You can be done here in 10 minutes or less.
A very interesting location. Favorite part was when They showed up at the center of the field. Id like to say Id never forget what They did with me, but They forced me to forget. I havent been able to sleep since I met Them. It was 4 years ago. The strangest part is I havent been tired, either.
Six foot tall, cement corn located on the corner of a busy four lane road. Might be cool to get a selfie for social media, but I personally dont think its worth the time trying to find a parking spot, and its just six foot tall cement corn. Just do a drive by, and then head to your next historic bucket item list because its just six foot tall cement corn.
I like this corn a lot. Okay, let me start by saying that I, a non-Midwesterner, did not expect to be quite as dazzled by these stunning gargantuan dedications to the maize god, but let me tell you, I was anything but disappointed! if youre in the dublin area--whether dublin ohio or dublin ireland, check it out! I flew 12 hours from europe to go see these corns and i will definitely be making the trip again! in fact, i planned my ENTIRE trip on these corns! what a sight to see! i had the pictures that i took developed and now i have a wall of corn in my bedroom and i look at it every night before i go to sleep, offering a sacrifice to the maize god--usually a corndog or something of the like. i would take a picture, but, unfortunately, my phone does not have a camera because i value vintage aesthetics and own a 1980s mobile phone with an antenna. thank you for your time. stay corny.
A unique art installation and reminder that the local farming community once heavily depended on corn. Not an attraction, or park, or a waste of space. Just an interesting aspect of Dublin. Do not plan your trip around this or even plan on spending any time there, a drive by is good enough.
We drove out specifically to see this place and my kids were not impressed. It is quite boring, and literally nothing but a field of giant concrete corn. Not even that fun for a photo-op. I would pass this one and do other attractions - it really isnt all that great.
When my out of town visitors see The Field of Corn for the first time, they are surprised, awed, and full of respect for Columbus. Secondly, they feel positive about their future relationship with the Columbus area.I wish there was more history published on this site about the idea of putting an outdoor sculpture on this piece of ground and the artist(s) involved as well as how the sculptures were made and installed.Thank you.
Dont over think it. Its concrete corn. Its neat, its different, and its worth stopping and taking a picture of if youre bored or want a photo of concrete corn.I dont frankly see how people can see it as a waste of space. I can only assume they figured itd be a lot bigger, as all the pictures of it online make it look a lot larger.
The cobs stand as monuments to farming in the middle of corporate office complexes. The hedge apple (Osage orange) trees are very important in the installation. Farmers would plant these trees, which were rot resistant, to create a frugal hedge row. The fruit of this tree is brain-like in appearance, and granular like the corn. All of the cobs are similar, but most likely unique. It has a feel of a cemetery that one would find at rural a crossroads. Meaning is only as deep as the observer can muster. One looks at a work of art and attempts to decode it. Its very much like a postmodern burial mound, a postmodern earthwork or architectural folly. Ohio is strewn with prehistoric mounds. Maybe Cornhenge would be an inappropriate moniker.
I have never actually seen the corn because every time I try and get near it a strange man with a mustard shirt that oddly smells of beetroot chases me away holding a large ear of corn shouting, βyou are not worthyβ but to be fair I shouldnβt be visiting here at 3am on a full moon (yes I have acknowledged the warnings)I will continue to try my hardest to one day see the beauty of the corn but for now I will continue to press my face against the screen of the google satellite image.
A true staple of Central Columbus. One of the more expensive eyesores that I have experienced. When someone first moves to the Columbus area, I first tell them you have GOT to go see the corn. It is a famous art installation. The constantly confused look people give me after doing so is the reason this is a two star instead of a one.

2022-05-11A fun, random site to see. I wouldnβt drive out of my way to see it, but if youβre in the Columbus area, it was a fun little stop. The ears of corn are much larger than you expect.

2022-01-25Just an odd place to explore but a fun/quirky thing to do and take pictures of. Not really any parking for it tho so we parked at the business by it.

2021-09-08This is an interesting art installation. You park in an office building and walk over to it. There is no path and the grass is thick. We went on a dry afternoon and managed ok but it might be harder to navigate on a muddy day.

2022-01-24One of those unique places that caught our attention and made us smile at the thought and purpose of 109, 6 ears of concrete corn standing proudly to salute Ohios top commodity...made our day!!

2021-07-13This place was fun! We had been driving through corn fields for a week straight. So, we finally decided this was the corn field we could get out and run through π.Parking is on the side of the road. This would make a cute picnic spot but there isnβt much here to do other than take corny photos and walk among the stalks.

2021-09-23Park on the side of the side road. Enjoy the giant concrete corn and dont chip a tooth. The rows seem to go on forever, but not really. They are fun to walk around and sit at the benches. The office building and the intersection were not busy when we stopped in. If you love something that exists for no real purpose then this is the kind of place for you.

2021-08-18Interesting story of the corn is on monument stones on edge of field. Seems locals dont know the whole story...worth the stop and history lesson.
