Amazing Halloween Maze

The Stewart Family has been designing and constructing the maze for 18 years, and every October, the maze attracts many people of all ages. Anywhere between 300 and 600 people show up. Made up of 7-foot-tall stakes, twine, clear glass, one-way glass and a hay-covered floor, the maze is not an easy one to solve. In fact, it takes the average first-timer 50 minutes to get through. Stewart believes that is the reason the maze is always a big hit. Stewart doesn’t charge admission. The Stewarts’ backyard Halloween attraction features static and animatronic decorations and live creatures meant to scare those who dare to enter the loops-and-traps maze. Visitors find their escape from the annual Halloween backyard maze, after navigating the twists and turns of frights inside.

Located at 124 Sheridan Terrace, Ridgewood, the maze is open 3:30-9 p.m. weekdays and 1:00 pm to 9 p.m. weekends from now until October 31.
