Think you’re crash hot at following directions? Test your skills in the world’s first multi-level ‘Mega Maze’. Follow the pathways over, under and around, locate the towers then find the exit – sounds easy right?! Built in 1973 this is the maze that started a world-wide ‘Maze Craze’ and will challenge your mental abilities to the max!
Put your internal GPS to work as you negotiate pathways, underpasses and over-bridges to seek four corner towers before finding the exit to the central courtyard.
Sign up to STRAVA and post your time to see how you stack up!
How fast can you locate and climb the RED tower, BLUE tower, GREEN tower and YELLOW tower in ANY ORDER before finding your way into the middle courtyard?! Can you do this without resorting to using 'Emergency Exits' (i.e. cheating)?
As the name suggests, this is much harder - locate and climb the YELLOW tower, GREEN tower, BLUE tower and RED tower in THAT ORDER before finding your way into the middle courtyard. Can you do this faster than your friends doing the "Classic"?!
Keen to add a further 'puzzling' element to your maze experience? With a little extra notice (and nominal fee) we can set up a race for individuals or teams to find puzzle pieces from each of the 4 Towers, then solve the puzzle in our middle courtyard. Email us for more info.

This is not a small maze. With 1.5km of pathways and overbridges you may walk between 3-5km to successfully solve it - has exercise ever been more fun!?
Yes, 12 flights of stairs make up the design of the maze and will need to be used to solve it. If this is an issue you can use ground-level Emergency Exits and cross the middle courtyard instead of climbing the stairs.
Yes, other than the four corner towers there is no roof over the maze. Please dress accordingly.
The short answer is sorry, no. We can only refund if an area is closed to customers, and with our region's changeable weather we don't refund when it turns nasty. Remember, your ticket is valid all day!
