Puzzling World, Wanaka

We had an amazing time here. For geeks who love a good puzzle or riddle, this is the perfect place to get some intellectual stimulation. If you don’t wish to pay the entrance fee you can still solve the puzzles on the cafe tables - they can be challenging and still fun with good company. Illusion rooms are fascinating with some paintings of illusions like the photo - just a warning that you might get giddy in the tilted room because your brain can’t reconcile what the physical body is experiencing. You can bypass that if you wish but I highly recommend trying it. The best part for me and my friend was the giant maze! Feel like a kid again . Also use the bridges and towers to plan your next steps . This was really fun. We spent a total of 4 hours here . There’s plenty of free parking out front too.

We decided to do this because it was raining, and it was so much better than we expected. We spent hours here and the great maze was a fun challenge. The illusion rooms are awesome and really mind bending, we were actually a bit tired by the time we'd finished. The service was super friendly and the gift shop was incredible. If you have some time in Wanaka I would definitely recommend this place.

This place has a great variety of toys, attractions, and activities. Absolutely loved the illusion rooms, especially the tilted house and the room where you can be tiny or a giant. The maze was surprising good, with lots of getting lost and laughing with other patrons about it. Is a good place to bring young and old, especially those into puzzles and optical illusion. I liked the art gallery and would encourage Puzzling World to integrate more art and illusions into their outdoor maze. They're really missing an opportunity. The staff were amazing. Everything was clean and everyone very friendly and helpful.

Good place, but the bathrooms have room for improvement. The tilted room is by far the best one as you have no clue if the room is actually tilted or not. It truly is an illusion. The wall of heads is also great. This place is lots of fun and I would definitely recommend this to others.
