About

Leinster's largest hedge maze, cut in the shape of St Brigid's cross, with over 2km of paths leading to a central viewing tower — plus a wooden maze, zip wire, crazy golf and a toddler play area, all included in one ticket.

Things to Do

The Wooden Maze

A faster puzzle: hunt down the 8 control points hidden in the wooden maze. The route is changed frequently, so teams can race each other or work together to beat the clock.

Adventure Trail and Zip Wire

Test your balance around the adventure trail obstacle course, or take the zip wire for a quick thrill.

Crazy Golf

A short crazy golf course on site — see who can get round in the fewest shots.

Toddlers Play Area

Younger children get their own play units and a sandbox, so the day works for mixed-age families.

Toddlers Play Area

The Hedge Maze

Find your way through 1.5 acres of hedge-lined paths to the viewing tower at the centre. The design was inspired by St Brigid and forms her cross across four quadrants; from the tower you get panoramic views over the maze and the surrounding countryside.

Picnic and On-Site Shop

There is a picnic area and an on-site shop selling snacks and refreshments, plus takeaway 12-inch pizzas ordered from the shop. No birthday parties are hosted, but groups are welcome at standard admission, booked in advance.
