Open July - September. Check website for dates and opening hours. Wistow Maze is a Winner of Leicestershire's "Best Visitor Attraction" Award.

The giant maze is redesigned each year using GPS satellite technology, more details and pictures on our website. Situated opposite the Wistow Rural Centre with cafe, garden centre, model village, art gallery and numerous shops.
Amazing day out with our whole family! Maze itself very challenging, but great fun. The number boards were helpful in locating ourselves on the map and being able to navigate to other parts of the maze. Really clever use of hidden question boards with Olympic themed facts and a multiple choice question. 12 of these made up for a complete challenge, once we decoded all the answers into individual letters for a sports person's name! After the maze was a field dedicated to tons of other family activities and games. It really was superbly thought out. I must compliment the young man at the maze entrance. He was there all day in the scorching sun and he was so comprehensive in explaining the maze, map, signs, bridges, and such like, all before we started. Thank you to all that made it happen, not just those on duty during the day but also to those that planned everything so amazingly well. Nearly forgot to say... The maze design is LITERALLY a work of art; as it is every year.
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
Really fun day out for all the family. We lucked out and came here on a really sunny day (I can't imagine it'd be much fun in the rain). The organisers are very friendly and helpful and made sure we all knew what we doing. The maze is definitely manageable for younger kids (ours are 6 and 7). They did get a bit fed up towards the end but we managed to find all the clues and solve the puzzle. They sell drinks and ice creams in the shop but there is a lovely cafe across the road that sells food and hot drinks. All in all a great day out especially to keep the kids entertained in the summer holidays.
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.
Great time at this surprising find. 3 miles of paths among the corn. Places to find, questions to answer. Some points from which to look over the maze. Outside the maze is a field with many activities for children. Across the road, but part of the site has a miniature (model) village and restaurants, shops, etc. Well, it's worth a visit before September when the maze closes.
Brilliant day had by all the family. The activity area afterwards kept the kids entertained for a further hour.
