The maze uses floor-to-ceiling glass to eliminate visual depth perception cues.
The interior lighting is specifically calibrated to cause light refraction, which increases the difficulty of finding the exit.
The structure is located in the North Garden area of the Mall of America, which is a major hub for retail entertainment.
The Amazing Mirror Maze is a walk-through attraction located inside the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. It utilizes floor-to-ceiling mirrors and glass panels to create a disorienting, infinite-reflection corridor system. The facility features colored LED lighting to enhance the visual complexity of the navigation experience. It is designed as an interactive sensory environment rather than a traditional amusement ride. The layout incorporates dead ends and sharp turns to challenge spatial perception. It remains a permanent indoor attraction within the mall complex.
