Mazes by Minotaur:
The Ins and Outs of the Labyrinth Business

Games

So you've decided what the backyard needs: a maze. But designing one is a convoluted task. Where do you turn?

To Minotaur Designs, the world's only professional landscape maze makers. In the last 10 years, Englishmen Adrian Fisher, Randoll Coate, and Graham Burgess have constructed a dozen walk-through mazes in Britain and Europe for private landowners, public parks, and amusement centers.

The company takes its name from the mythical beast that devoured victims lost in the labyrinth at Crete. But the hedge and brickwork mazes of Minotaur Designs are far less intimidating, built only to entertain and enlighten.

In the process, the trio adds fresh twists to the ancient art. For example, look at their Beatles Maze, built for the 1984 International Garden Festival in the Fab Four's home city of Liverpool. At the center of the 100-foot maze sat an 18-ton yellow submarine. (The submarine is all that remains of the festival. The rest was demolished when the vent was over.)
