Amazing Maze 'n Maize

The Amazing Maze 'n Maize is now open for the 2012 season with a brand new theme and pattern of 'Get Wired.'  

The maze is a paddock of maize (animal feed corn), 6 hectares in size, with approximately 8km of paths cut into it to form a pictorial maze. But don't get too concerned, if you're good at puzzles and don't take a wrong turn you'll walk around 1km. Each group takes a flag for safety reasons, so you’re able to signal for help if things aren’t going so well!

 

Being a crop, the season is limited (26th December-29th April) so each year we start afresh with a new theme and a new pattern of paths. Previous themes have been Kiwiana, Lost at Sea, Dinosaurs and Lost in Space. The paths are flat and are suitable for push chairs and wheel chairs.

 

The Maze takes on average 45 minutes to complete and is suitable for all ages. Along the way there are various points of interest including over 100 kernels of knowledge which are trivia, information or jokes based around the maze theme. Visitors are able to take quiz sheets into the maze and schools and groups often have competitions to complete them correctly.

 

The picnic area at the entrance to the maze is complete with farmyard games and activities for family entertainment and team building fun. These include such things as walking planks, stilts, tug-o-war rope; wobble boards, sacks for races, a mist tunnel for cooling down and a brain teaser mini maze.

 

A 3D experience with a very exciting Vortex Tunnel is an added attraction along with the PuddlePad, a water play area for kids to cool off on a hot Hawke’s Bay day.

 

There are BBQs (book in advance) and picnic tables available for your use and freshly brewed coffee.

 

Ask about group bookings, team challenges and special events. It’s a great venue for corporate team building activities. Use our ideas or your own.
