What makes it 66% Kids-Friendly: Children aged 9–12 may play alongside adults in the team challenges, offering active learning fun, yet under-9s are refused entry and there are no in-maze breaks or food, so plan carefully.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Includes the 70-minute live game plus time for jacket fittings, photos and a post-game snack.
Live Maze Experience:
Solve puzzles across four zones (Medieval, Industrial, Futuristic, Aztec) in a timed team challenge.
Tip: Split tasks: one adult guides a younger child on easier puzzles while others tackle the physical ones.
VIP Upgrade:
Add a souvenir photo and exclusive gift to your visit.
Tip: Book the VIP pass at least one week in advance to secure your gift.
Bar & Gift Shop:
Recharge after the game with snacks, drinks and themed souvenirs.
Tip: Use your free bomber jackets for a family photo at the end of your visit.

Another heartfelt thank you for giving our mum a medal at the end...

Having been a massive fan of The Crystal Maze since childhood, I was thrilled that I finally got the chance to go with my mates to Manchester for the experience. The Medieval, Industrial, Aztec and Futuristic Zones are all great recreations of the original realms on TV, with the physical, skill, mental and mystery games all being challenging and great fun. Like the original series, you go around ...

Had an absolutely fantastic experience with the whole family! They have some of the games we watched growing up and some newer ones. Our host was encouraging and funny and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I was able to buy the tickets online, and was tempted to buy them many days in advance but glad we didn’t. Because we went on a weekday, they were cheaper to buy in the morning and had many open ...

Will you start the fans please Wanted something to do on our 10th year wedding anniversary As we both grew up watching this, we decided to give it a shot We were not disappointed It’s a tiny place from the outside so I wasn’t too sure what awaited us I would say it’s kinda on the pricey side, however it’s worth every penny. They also don’t charge that much for photos at the end. There are qui...
