First opened as a maize maze in 2002, the giant maze is still at the heart of the attraction which has now grown to offer families a complete day out with over 20 rides, shows and attractions. York Maze only opens for the summer holidays and for Halloween. It is now one of Yorkshire’s most popular summer attractions welcoming up to 3000 visitors a day.

Part of the success of York Maze is down to the exceptional levels of customer service the staff are renowned for.

York Maze also opens for Halloween and the night time Hallowscream event for adults has grown significantly over the last few years.
