General information

Welcome to the Famous Wistow Maize Maze.

WINNER OF LEICESTERSHIRE'S "BEST VISITOR ATTRACTION"

Summer Fun For All The Family

Enjoy a great day out exploring one of the country's largest maize mazes, set in 8 acres of living maize and sunflower crop. It's great exercise for mind and body!

See if you can unravel the QUIZ TRAIL, and find all 12 quiz boards hidden amongst the 3 miles of paths.

The maze also incorporates 10ft high bridges and viewing towers which give visitors stunning 3D panoramic views over the maze and the beautiful surrounding countryside.

Visit our ACTIVITY FUNYARD and test your maze solving skills on a variety of mini mazes and puzzles before or after visiting the giant Wistow corn maze. A mini maze (also with hidden pictures) is in our funyard, as well as our popular 6 minute mazes, rope maze, hoopla, bean bag throwing, photo panel, football shooting game, space hopper track, sandpit and more, so it's entertainment for all the family whatever your age.

Refreshments, ice creams and gifts are available in the FUNYARD.

The maze is redesigned each year (you can see all the different designs in the Picture Gallery), and it combines artistic talent, cutting edge technology and traditional farming techniques, and lasts only 8 weeks before it is cut down and used for cattle fodder.

Opposite the maze is the Wistow Rural Centre with a cafe/bistro, Mediterranean Deli, large garden centre, Art Gallery and numerous other shops selling jewellery, furniture, handbags, pets accessories and gifts galore. There is also an enchanting model village with trains. Toilets on site.

So come and have a GREAT DAY OUT whether you like solving puzzles, climbing up towers, deciphering codes, walking, shopping, eating ice-creams, feeding ducks, visiting an historic Church or just getting lost! - there's something for everybody.
