Lost? Not for long at Hedgend Maze. This quirky attraction in Healesville offers more than just a winding puzzle of hedges. Hedgend Maze sprawls across 20 acres in the beautiful Yarra Valley, just over an hour from Melbourne. It’s a place where getting lost is actually part of the fun. The main attraction, the 1.2km cypress hedge maze, is a sensory experience. Imagine the scent of freshly trimmed hedges as you navigate the twists and turns. Hidden within the maze are surprises: whimsical garden ornaments, intriguing quotes, and even clues to a puzzle. Hedgend Maze isn’t just about brainteasers. It caters to a wide range of interests. You can test your putting skills on the 18-hole mini golf course or try your hand at frisbee golf. For younger adventurers, there’s a fossil dig and a tangled web rope maze. If you’re planning a celebration, Hedgend Maze has you covered. They host birthdays, weddings, and even laser tag parties. After working up an appetite, head to the on-site cafe for snacks and meals. Or, fire up one of the three complimentary BBQs and enjoy a picnic with panoramic views of the Yarra Valley. So, next time you’re looking for an escape from the city, remember Hedgend Maze. It’s a place where you can lose yourself in the fun and create lasting memories.
