Winner of Leicestershire's "BEST VISITOR ATTRACTION"
An 8 acre maize maze with a fun Quiz Trail hidden amongst 3 miles of pathways, with high level bridges and viewing towers giving fabulous panoramic views of the giant maze and beautiful surrounding countryside.
Each year Wistow Maze is redesigned using GPS satellite technology. For 2018, to mark the 70th Anniversary of the NHS, the maze has been designed in the shape of an 'Ambulance', and the quiz trail has a First Aid theme, which will test visitors knowledge on their First Aid skills and how to treat a casualty! You can see all the maze designs on the Wistow Maze website.
The maze includes an Activity Funyard packed with mini mazes and games for all ages, including 6-minute mazes, hoopla, beanbag throwing, a space hopper track, football shooting game and more, which can be played on before or after entering the giant maze.
Maps and quiz trail brochures are included in the price, and don't worry the maze has a Quick Exit if visitors need to get out quickly!
Opposite the maze is the Wistow Rural Centre with a cafe/bistro, Mediterranean deli, garden centre, art gallery, model village and numerous shops selling jewellery, woman's clothing, dog accessories, furniture, home fragrances and gifts galore, making it a fun day out for all the family.
School and office outings are both popular, and there is an Education Pack available.
The maze opens Friday 20 July - Sunday 2 Sept (daily), then weekends only until Sunday 23 September 2018.
For more information on prices, directions, picture gallery, how the maze was made and the WRC shops, go to the website.
