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.
