THE ADVENTURE BEGINS THE MOMENT YOU GET LOST! Wind your way through this twisting, climbing, head-scratching interactive exhibit that’ll challenge the whole family from the very first step.  Can your eyes actually lie to you? Find out in the Maze of Illusions where nothing is what it seems. Think you’re coordinated? Climb, duck, and try not to get completely tangled in the Web Maze. Feeling ambitious? Build your own maze from scratch, then dare others to solve it.   From giant finger mazes to brain-busting puzzle tables, art you can touch, and a labyrinth library, there are surprises to be found around every single corner.
