Being named as one of the ‘world’s weirdest attractions’ comes from endless wacky photo-ops inside & out. Even the toilets here are a lesson in perspective - and history! Don’t be a dummy, bring your camera and your smiles and share the fun!
The Leaning Tower of Wanaka, Impossible Steps, Roman Loos, Tumbling Towers, MC Escher Courtyard and so much more!

Why build anything normal?! Four skewed, yet connected towers have been welcoming visitors into Wanaka for generations and give a glimpse into what Puzzling World is all about – being fun, unique and just a little bit weird.
An icon of the south, The Leaning Tower of Wanaka is tilted at an astounding 53 degrees and balances on just one corner! Grab the chance to get a great shot of friends or family seemingly holding, ripping or getting crushed (or poked!) by this crazy piece of architecture.
Completing the trifecta of front lawn follies is this crazy set of stairs that lead...nowhere?! How does it remain upright with no support? How can you use it as a comical prop for the Leaning Tower behind? A handy signboard offers several set-up options to get you perfectly posed for all follies!
Even the public toilets at Puzzling World are a lesson in perspective as we give the term “truly historic proportions” a whole new meaning! Don't be shy, take a seat alongside our 'Romans' and snap yourself within the scene - pants on please!
It’s time to engage the brain with some of our most popular puzzles laid out on dozens of tables for you to try. We want to help unlock some of that puzzling potential you have inside, so don't be shy, pick up a puzzle and give it a go - but it's nice to know trained staff are on hand to help out if required!
The geographical centre of the business, our large sunny courtyard is a great place to eat your lunch, wait for your friends or family to complete the maze and enjoy the natural surroundings. Nearby, another long, covered courtyard is surrounded by artwork from the genius creator of 'Magical Realism', M.C Escher.
