Discover more about Labyrinthia
A countryside park devoted to getting delightfully lost
Labyrinthia sits just outside the village of Them, surrounded by gentle fields and woods that feel a world away from busy city streets. Instead of rollercoasters, this small-scale theme park focuses on mazes, puzzles, and playful thinking. Paths of gravel, hedges, timber walkways, and flower-lined corridors twist and loop in unexpected ways, inviting you to surrender to curiosity rather than speed. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal. Families, school groups, and groups of friends wander at their own pace, choosing which labyrinth to tackle next. With almost everything contained on compact, walkable grounds, it is easy to switch between outdoor mazes, the indoor Puzzle Center, and the café terrace without ever feeling rushed.Outdoor mazes from roses to rushing water
The heart of Labyrinthia is its collection of outdoor labyrinths, each designed to challenge you in a different way. The 3D labyrinth rises above the lawns in a tangle of stairs, bridges, and elevated walkways. Here, your sense of direction is tested vertically as much as horizontally, with multiple levels and viewpoints that can be as confusing as they are impressive. Nearby, the water maze mixes playful engineering with horticulture. Pathways edged with hundreds of scented roses are interrupted by jets and gates that can soak the unwary. With the park’s app, you can control the water ports from your phone, deciding who makes it through dry and who gets an unexpected splash. Elsewhere, themed mazes such as the Football Race Maze add friendly competition, turning balance and coordination into part of the puzzle.History woven into winding paths
Labyrinthia also nods to the long cultural history of mazes. Two historical layouts, Troy and Chartres, reinterpret designs that date back to the Bronze Age and the Middle Ages. These so-called "one-way" labyrinths may not trap you with dead ends, but they carry a quiet rhythm as you follow the single winding route towards the center and back again. Interpretive panels and simple explanations help connect these living mazes to their origins in myth, ritual, and medieval cathedral floors. Walking them becomes less of a puzzle and more of a meditative experience, contrasting sharply with the energetic, game-like challenges of the park’s other attractions.Puzzles, play, and shelter in the old stables
When the weather turns or you need a break from walking, the converted stable block houses the Puzzle Center. Inside, long tables hold more than 50 different games and brain teasers, ranging from wooden construction puzzles to logic challenges and educational games. Difficulty levels vary, so younger children can experiment while adults test themselves on more intricate problems. The building retains a rustic charm, with a cozy, informal feel that encourages lingering over just one more puzzle. Nearby, a large event tent can be reserved for school classes or groups, creating a semi-sheltered base for longer visits and outdoor teaching days when the weather is changeable.Dog-friendly fun, café comforts, and slow summer days
A distinctive feature of Labyrinthia is its attention to four-legged visitors. A dedicated dog maze lets you test your dog’s sense of smell and orientation, while water bowls at the “doggy bar” keep them refreshed. It is one of the rare attractions where canine companions are not only allowed but integrated into the experience. For human refreshments, a casual café serves simple hot meals, sandwiches, snacks, ice creams, and barista coffee. You can eat indoors, on the sunny south-facing terrace, or at pavilions scattered around the grounds. Guests are welcome to bring their own food, and two large gas grills are available for barbecues, turning a visit into an unhurried picnic day out.Seasonal rhythms and practical pace
Labyrinthia typically operates as a seasonal attraction, opening through the milder months and closing during winter, when mazes are less inviting in the cold and dark. Within opening hours, you are free to structure your time as you like: some visitors focus on ticking off every labyrinth, while others alternate a few key mazes with long puzzle sessions and leisurely meals. Because there are no big rides and few queues, the day feels unstructured in the best way. You decide how much challenge you want, whether that means chasing every QR code in the 3D labyrinth to earn a digital diploma, strolling quietly through rose-scented paths, or simply watching others puzzle things out from a shaded bench.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
