OPEN DECEMBER - MAY This amazing maze is set in a 7 hectare paddock with 8 km of paths lots of puzzles to solve on the way. The maze takes about 45 minutes to complete (if you don’t get lost) and the paths are flat so are suitable for pushchairs. There is a picnic area at the entrance to the maze with farmyard activities and entertainment for the whole family like walking planks, wobble boards and a mini maze. There are BBQs and picnic tables available (book in advance) and a coffee machine. An added attraction is the exciting Vortex tunnel and 3D experience. In previous years maze themes have been dinosaurs and ancient Egypt – check the website to find out this year’s theme.
School holidays promise fun and frights in the maze with the School of Scares. These haunted shows are especially for families and children aged 10 to 15 years. Under 12s should be accompanied by a parent.
For older kids, (16 and up) explore the maze after dark (byo torch) and enjoy being scared by the CornEvil interactive theatre.
