This place has existed for 21 years now and I even went live locally, we’ve never visited. Finally got the chance to do and it was a brilliant experience. The maze itself is an amazing and they have a play area with many games and a picnic area. Shops and toilets across the road. The maze design changes every year so deffo will be going back. I would highly recommend it to everyone with children.

Went to Wistow during the summer and it was a lovely day out, really well made and the staff are welcoming and helpful. If you go on a really hot day I would advise taking a sun hat or umbrella as there is no shade. There are also activities for kids which you can do before or after the maze

Lovely location, maze is so cool and big. This is such a good place to come with kids and have lunch in a local cafe. There are plenty of different shops and little boutiques to visit and fancy garden centre with model village.

Good old fashioned family fun in the great outdoors. Fun for all ages and a good walk into the bargain. A fun quiz to complete as you go round and a selection of games after you finish. Not bad value plus a nice garden centre and shops opposite.

Fantastic day out with family! Loved exploring the maze and completing the scavenger hunt. Make sure to allocate at least 3-4 hours of your day here. There's a good play here area and some nice shops over the road.
