Especially for children and “brave parents”
Featuring “live” actors as your favourite fairytale characters
Grimmer Scary Tales – held on the last Saturday night of each month December to April (for children and brave parents!) This maze is loosely based on the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm but does not incorporate the horror factor as utilized to such effect in CornEvil!
All About Grimmer!
Grimmer Scary Tales was introduced at the Amazing Maze ‘n Maize Bay of Plenty specifically to satisfy the demand from under 16’s who wished to attend CornEvil and proved to be hugely successful. The very young or faint hearted are issued with pink stickers for their torches so our actors do not frighten them. At 9pm our child actors leave the maze – older siblings without pink stickers are ‘fair game’!
Grimmer Scary Tales begins at 7.30pm so that the very young children can enjoy meeting the characters within the maze before dark and will not be frightened. Last entry is at 10pm. Older siblings may wish to go with them at this time and then return again later after dark - children can go through as many times as they wish without any extra charge. All prices include the 3D Vortex experience but we do charge $1 deposit on the glasses which is refunded when the glasses are returned.
Fairytales on our Big Screen
Once it is nearly dark we start running fairy tale movies in the "outside theatre" on the big screen - this keeps the little ones entertained while the older children enjoy Grimmer. There is no extra charge for this.
Special Facilities for Groups
Please let us know if you would like the special BBQ facilities - your own private gazebo, brazier and barrow of firewood - in our private garden (no charge but deposit required) - or you may simply wish to BBQ earlier in the public play area and enjoy the games - walking boards, stilts, corn spitting etc.
Laser Light Show
Enjoy the fun of the laser light show which runs continuously in the picnic area!
Suitable for all ages – under 12’s to be accompanied by an adult.
Last season at Grimmer Scary Tales nights we had all ages from little ones in pushchairs to 14 & 15 year olds with brave parents! - we look forward to seeing you at this fun family maze!
Meet your favourite ‘scary tale’ characters hiding within the 10 acres of maize!

Watch fairytale movies on the big screen under the stars.
Have fun in the laser lights playing in the picnic area!
