Bucking Boar Cornfield Maze

📍 Ngāruawāhia, Waikato

4.7(133 Google reviews)💰$15👶All ages

A family-run seasonal maze near Te Kowhai, best for kids who like a challenge and a cool-off. Families love the friendly staff, three waterslides, and good value for a full day out in the sun.

★★★★★Featured review by Lilian Koopman

What a lovely place and an amazing stop for the kids in our holiday trip. The maze was challenging, but we made it! Also the slides where so cool. The people who run it are so friendly. A good place to visit. And also a good place for the lunch.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

This is a great spot if your kids like a bit of a challenge and don't mind getting lost for a while - the maze, slides and games can easily fill a good chunk of the day. It's a family-run place where the people genuinely make it, and the price is friendlier than a lot of similar outings, so it's an easy yes for a school-holiday day out.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Bring hats, sunscreen and water bottles - the maze is out in the open and can take up to 2 hours
Allow a decent chunk of the day, not just an hour
🎟️There's food available if you want to have lunch there
🚗Go for the slides and games too, not just the maze

Overview

Five kilometres of tracks winding through a hectare of corn, redesigned every season, so getting properly lost is half the point - budget a couple of hours and pack hats, sunscreen and water bottles. When the kids have had enough, three waterslides sort out the cool-off, and there's a cafe with barista coffee and real fruit ice creams for the grown-ups. Runs summers only, weekends from January to mid-March, and parents keep coming back for the genuinely welcoming whānau who run it.
