Sensory Maze
What people say
A meandering hedge labyrinth where garden, play, and art meet through interactive sound, touch, and discovery features. The maze is near the middle of Gipson Play Plaza between Slide Valley and Swing Terrace. The maze is designed for slower exploration rather than running through. Agree on an exit meeting point and allow children time to try the chimes, tactile pieces, and garden details.
