Public toilets, a small but well-stocked gift shop and dairy and friendly, helpful staff completed the ensemble, rounding out to a wonderful summer venue which remains open until late March. it was obvious that this place was geared up for the bigger crowds as well as the small family groupings. Stacks of chairs and rustic tables were stacked up against the side of the 92.2 XS 3d Maze building, plenty of room to set them up for the bigger crowds and busier days, swingball sets, tug-o-war ropes, even a volleyball court with proper sand bed and net. Upon our exit, we found ourselves in a lovely recreation and play area, with obvious signs of a kitset outdoor cafe setting all around us. Even a Trivial Pursuits junkie like me learned a few things. The maze itself, great to get lost in (We had to cheat and open the map after about half an hour, when we realised we had been stuck in a complicated dead-end loop for the previous 10 minutes) and the little marker posts scattered throughout had trivia notes stuck to them, making it fun AND educational. With the average time set at about an hour in the maze, we were a little behind schedule when we emerged an hour and a half after we entered, but that was pretty good considering the 15 stop while we put our wheelbound comrade back into his chair after a losing encounter with a crack in the sun-baked ground. Wonderful foresight, most impressive to see. With one of our number in a wheelchair, we were expecting some limitations to our mobility, and the bridges worried me, however the lovely lady at the front counter had fore-warned us of the bumpier areas, and explained that they had thought about wheelchairs and that there were alternate paths to bypass the bridges without getting us hopelessly lost. Great to see, especially as it was right up by the main office and entrance to all three mazes.ģ adults, one child, we were given a map and off we trooped, into the corn. the bridges and towers sprouting from the corn being an easy way to tell we had arrived. One of our crew mentioned the Maze, so into the car we again piled, and off, Marton'wards we went.Īfter being totally braindead and taking the turnoff to Marton, we had to double back and found the maze without any further hitches. After heading to Feilding, then to Ashhurst, up to the windfarm, and back to palmy, we were still in the mood to travel and it was only 2pm. It was a nice day, not too hot, and there were a group of us out and about for a drive. Website: This Review: 9.0/10 Uniqueness: Location: Price: Variety: Yes the rumours are true!
