      My son and husband and i had a great time. The maze was a favourite. The cafe and giftshop are very pricey. The inside puzzles are pretty neat

      I brought the kids here and they had a blast, especially in the tilting room (that blew my mind too!) It was nice to have a relax at the tables and do some puzzles too when we had enough of the puzzling rooms, until of course the kids wanted to go thru them all again! We didn't do the maze as it looked a bit boring but everything else was great

      Visited Puzzling World during my trip to Southland last year. It was good value for money. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour except the outdoor maze which was a bit boring. Otherwise a great tourist attraction. Definitely mind-boggling. Worth visiting.

      Loved coming here as a kid and being fascinated by the amazing sculptures and activities. Every room you walk into is another puzzle for your brain to figure out. Easy to spend hours just wondering how on earth some puzzles were made.

      Something a little different to do with the family! Great little place full of mind bending mathematics presented in a fun and engaging way! Race each other to the end of the maze, learn about optical illusions and how these techniques are used in industry or simply tinker about on the puzzle tables. Plenty of souvenirs in the gift shop that will keep the kids (and adults!!) from the "are we nearly there yets"!!!
