A must visit

Published on Feb, 2025

We didn't know what to expect and got a big surprise when visiting. First no outrages entry fees like many other attractions in NZ . Entering the ilusion rooms was fascinating so many surprises and so much to look and experiences it. We spent over one hour there to see it all and then the amazing Maze. We were happy to visit it otherwise we would have missed a really top attrac

A-MAZE-ing fun!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a great time exploring and looking at all the wonderful attractions. We also enjoyed the challenge of the maze at the end! It was a lot of fun! Great for adults & kids!

This place will blow your mind!!

Published on Dec, 2024

The six illusion rooms are fantastic and will blow your mind. We spent nearly all morning going round. I particularly liked the "water running uphill" in the room where gravity appears to have gone. Thought good value. However, do not bother with the combo ticket which gives you the Maze as well. This is not worth doing and we abandoned it after about 10 minutes.

The place to visit when the weather is not perfect. The labyrinth is outside but there are many things to do and see inside if it rains. For children of all ages ;-)
