7 Best Mazes In Manchester

Does problem-solving run in the family? If you love the outdoors and relish adventure, mazes are an excellent way to pair the two with your puzzle-loving brains.

Most mazes tend to be created on the grounds of stately homes or on farms. Both of these types of attractions offer a wide range of activities alongside the maze. Think activity trails, inflatable obstacle courses, lots of animals, garden games, ride-on tractors, or maybe even a tea party.

There are lots of mazes around the UK for kids and adults, some last under an hour and others last 2-3.

There are plenty of photo opportunities, especially on themed maze experiences! Capturing happy moments of childhood is a wonderful thing, and mazes will leave your kids with ear-to-ear grins.

Mazes aren’t just for the Summer! Keep your eyes peeled on your nearest maze for any updates on Christmas mazes, Easter mazes and, if you dare, Halloween mazes… EEK!

Your kids will learn map-reading skills. With each maze, you will typically get a guidebook or activity leaflet given to you which will help you navigate through your tricky surroundings. Encouraging your kids to make the decisions of left or right will help build their confidence and understand instructions.

This is an active experience! Tear your kids away from their screens and watch them flourish outdoors as they keep their minds and feet busy until they reach the end.

It’s not just Maize mazes on our list! The Crystal Maze LIVE Experience is the ideal day out for a family of code-crackers.

Explore four adventure zones – Medieval, Industrial, Aztec, and Futuristic. Will you beat the clock and make it the iconic Crystal Dome?

Channel your inner adventurer in the new Mini Maze at Lakeland Maze Farm Park. This maze takes 10-15 minutes complete and all little ones must be accompanied by an adult. Older children can embark on the main attraction, the Maize Maze! This takes 1.5 – 2.5 hours to complete, so make sure you go to the toilet beforehand as you could be there a while.

And that’s not all! With an additional two all-weather mazes, the adventure never has to end. Check out the wooden manel maze and the indoor bunny burrows tube maze.
