York Maze

Lose yourself in one of the world's largest mazes, which delights kids with its wacky puzzles, competitive obstacle courses and joyous jumping castles. 

The York Maze is an award-winning attraction created from a field of over 1 million growing corn plants. Spend a day with the family enjoying its devilish maze routes, bouncy castles and visual illusions, all accompanied by the playful maze mascot, Kernel Kernel.  

As you explore the maze, try to complete Kernel Kernel's challenges and win a prize. Crack the mystery of the Finger Fortune Maze, which involves finger-colouring fun.

The Maze of Illusions features a collection of curved mirrors and wacky puzzles. Take an other-worldly adventure through the House of Cornfusion, where perspective and reality are stretched to their limits. 

Jump and jiggle your way through the Cobstacle Course, a corn-themed inflatable maze. The Jumping Pillow and Inflatable Slide also offer hours of bouncy fun.

Older kids can swing and grapple their way around the timber Climbing Zone. Conquer Bale Mountain for a commanding view of the region.

Let children express their colourful souls at the Giant Mural Painting, where you don't worry about the mess! Creative kids will also love building with huge blocks at the Corntruction zone.

Kids can engineer their own mini dams and rivers at the sand and water play area. Observe them from the nearby sunny café terrace as they create with mini cranes. 

Race your friends around the mini quad bike track or test your game at the 9-hole crazy mazy golf course. The nearby remote control boating pool also offers a field of friendly competition.

Work up an appetite playing before enjoying a hearty burger from the Yorkshire Dragon BBQ. Alternatively, the Kernel’s Coffee Shop serves sandwiches, salads and specialty teas. Pick up a garden ornament or toy from the Ivy Store before leaving.

Buy an entry ticket at the gate or online for a slight discount. The York Maze is open seasonally, with first entry around July and final opening days just after Halloween. During this season, the maze is open daily.
