Our Combo Pumpkin Fest & Monster Mash Maize Maze Ticket is the perfect way to extend your visit and double the fun! Ideal for families with children aged 5+, this monstrously good adventure is packed with puzzles, laughs and Halloween fun.

The monsters are trying to create the ultimate Monster Mash potion, but disaster has struck! The ingredients have been scattered throughout the maize maze and they need your help to find them before sunset.

Make your way through the twists and turns of the maze, searching for the missing ingredients and completing your activity sheet along the way. Can you help the monsters finish their potion in time?

For our younger explorers, the Mini Monster Mash Maze offers even more fun. Create your very own monster by collecting body parts throughout the maze and assembling them on your activity sheet. Once you’ve built your monster, don’t forget to give it a name!

Every child who completes their activity sheet and returns it to our Gate Keeper’s Shed will receive a special treat as a reward for helping the monsters save the day.

With family-friendly challenges, interactive activities and plenty of autumn photo opportunities, the Monster Mash Maize Maze is the perfect addition to your Pumpkin Fest adventure.
