Maize Maze
Tubberlispole, Dingle, Kerry, Ireland
We are waiting for news about 2010. For something completely novel and fun while on holidays, how about tackling a 10-point quiz trail in a six-acre maze in a field of corn? The maze is the work of the internationally recognized Adrian Fisher, who has designed mazes in 23 countries. Finding your way around the field of corn which grows to a height of nine feet, is challenging and highly amusing for all ages. There are other puzzles also - such as a rope maze, which is great for relays, and table top puzzles. A great day for all the family.
