Puzzling World is an iconic, award-winning attraction that since 1973 has fascinated people of all ages. Boasting the world’s first ‘Mega Maze’, six Illusion Rooms and a huge Puzzle Café we invite you to enjoy Wanaka’s wonderful world of weirdness!
This place has been around forever and hasn't changed much. But it was a great! The kids loved it and the adults did not. Only gripe was not hot chips at the café!
Highly recommended to visit
What my subject says. We only visited because we were in the area and it seemed like a milestone to accomplish in Wānaka but wouldn’t visit Wānaka specifically for Puzzling World. In fact we won’t ever go back as SINKs. We didn’t like the loud kids running around us in the maze world.
Loved Puzzling World but was a little disappointed there wasn't more to explore. Gift shop prices also very high.

Puzzling world,Wanaka
The puzzling world was a good experience but need more. Felt like it was too little.
