    Advantages Advantages Lots to entertain the whole family

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's very dependent on the weather

    Using over one and a half million maize plants, it is considered to be the biggest maze in the world. Each year they create the maze based on a theme - this year it's a spaceman, last year it was the statue of liberty and the year before it was 007 and his Aston Martin. They plant the maize in May, cut the paths in June and open it to the public in July before harvesting it in September, so there is pretty tight window for visiting but it is worth it. As you enter the complex you'll receive a card that allows entry into the competition and you're offered a map and compass for £1.50. These come ... more

    Advantages Advantages fun for all ages

    Disadvantages Disadvantages only available for 8 weeks a year

    The York Maze is only available for approximately 8 weeks a year in the summer. York Maze is dependent upon the crop of maize which is grown to make the maze and is available until the crop is harvested. York Maze is situated just outside of the city of York and is easy to get to by car and clearly signposted. The car park was in a field with stone chips to mark out the route for cars and it huge. We went last weekend and were lucky with the weather. You are advised to wear appropriate clothing for the weather as the maze was outdoors and could get muddy in wet weather. Adult prices were £7.85 ... more
