4 of the World's Largest Winter Mazes
I wanted to feature 4 wonderful Winter mazes that are here for the Holidays ! Each of them is the largest of it’s type (with an asterix), and are made as destination attractions to celebrate the holidays. It includes a set of 3 from around the USA, a festival in Minnesota, a festival in Washington and the other takes us to Poland.
The first mazes are the Largest Christmas Light Maze(s) in the world, created by Enchant. This year Enchant has 3 locations: San Jose, CA; Seattle, WA; and Las Vegas, NV. Each location features winter fun, including the featured light maze, an ice skating rink and a Christmas market along with other activities (Santa?) and days with special events. You can check the calendar and buy tickets on the Enchant website. This experience moves around the country each year, so you may have seen it near you in the past (or have it coming to a large city near you in the future). Here is a video from the Enchant YouTube channel showing the event ! It looks like a fun night out with an immersive Christmas experience.
And the second Winter maze I wanted to bring to your attention comes from Poland, the World’s Largest Ice Maze (for now) located in Snowlandia in Zakopane. I had written about it previously as one of the 5 ice and snow mazes I found around the world: You Won't Believe these Ice and Snow Mazes ! The maze is outstanding, and seeing all of the intricate carvings in the snow is also well worth a visit with views of the beautiful Tatra Mountains ! The maze is listed as over 3000 square meters, or the size of about 7 basketball courts.
And you may have noticed the “for now” I added onto the Ice Maze at Snowlandia. That is because on January 10th, the record might be broken at the Minnesota Ice Festival in Eagan, MN. They will be attempting to make the break the current record and will have Guinness on hand (the company/book not the drink) to check it. Since it is not yet built and you never know about the weather, we will have to wait to see who holds the ice maze crown. Tickets for the event are on sale now and it includes the maze, skating, slides, food trucks, ice bars and plenty of ice sculptures. Here is a video showing the previous years maze:
But wait, we have another, coming to us from Shelton, Washington ! Let’s take a look at Christmastown and their Winter maze !
The world record for most Christmas Trees in one location (set in 2019) keeps getting bigger each year. And, it just so happens those Christmas trees are made into a maze ! This year a total of 900 trees became a maze. The great thing about the maze is the dead ends might lead you to Santa, places to play or selfie spots. But let’s be honest a dead end with Santa is not really a dead end ! Here is a link to the website and the maze page specifically. Check out this wonderful video of the event and maze !
So did these mazes make your bucket list ? Wishing you Happy and Healthy Holidays and hoping you can enjoy an a-maze-ing adventure like these!
