Down the rabbit hole we go. Welcome to the Alice in Wonderland Maze at Shanghai Disneyland. This isn’t just any maze. It’s a whimsical journey inspired by Tim Burton’s film adaptation. A truly immersive experience awaits you.
The Alice in Wonderland Maze opened in June 2016. It’s part of the Fantasyland section of the resort. The maze is free to enter. It takes about half an hour to an hour to explore completely.
Imagine stepping through one of three doors. Each leads to a different path through Wonderland. You’ll encounter the Cheshire Cat his grin fading into smoke. You’ll also meet the Mad Hatter. He’s waiting for you at his mad tea party.
The maze itself is stunning. Giant hedges twist and turn. Flowers bloom in vibrant colors. Sculptures of iconic characters are hidden throughout. It’s a photographer’s dream. Each turn reveals another fantastic detail.
This isn’t just a simple maze though. It’s a carefully crafted experience. The design reflects the topsy-turvy world of Wonderland. It even includes elements from Walt Disney’s early films. The original Alice in Wonderland short from 1923 inspired some of the details. The connection to Walt Disney’s childhood love of Lewis Carroll’s stories adds a lovely touch.
You’ll wander through the Red Queen’s garden. Her heart-shaped arches and towering knights are unforgettable. Keep an eye out for the Bandersnatch. He adds a touch of thrilling adventure. The whimsical armored creatures are charming. They add to the dreamlike atmosphere.
