Overview

A Maze N Things is an interactive entertainment complex located on Phillip Island, Victoria. The facility is anchored by a large, complex wooden maze that challenges visitors to navigate through varied pathways. The site features an 'Illusion Rooms' exhibit, which uses mirrors, light, and perspective to distort spatial perception. Visitors can engage in two 18-hole mini-golf courses, including an outdoor course and an indoor glow-in-the-dark option. A 'Maxi Mini Golf' section offers scaled-up obstacles for a different challenge. The park includes a 'Puzzle Island' area focusing on physical and mental logic puzzles. It is situated along the main thoroughfare leading into Cowes. The park operates as a family-oriented destination emphasizing hands-on participation. Most activities are designed for self-paced exploration.

Insider tips

Complete the outdoor activities first to take advantage of natural light, then move to the indoor illusions and glow-golf during peak sun hours.

Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes to navigate the outdoor maze and uneven terrain in the puzzle areas.

Check the weather forecast before arrival as the maze and some puzzle areas are outdoors.

What to avoid

Attempting to rush through the maze, which is designed to be a time-consuming challenge, and skipping the indoor illusions which are included in the experience.

Good to know

Open daily, but may have reduced operations or closures during Christmas Day; always verify seasonal hours before arrival.

Etiquette

Active supervision of children is required; respectful conduct is expected in the illusion rooms to allow others to capture photos.
