"We enjoyed a lovely couple of hours at Lichfield maize maze. They had a great set up for children young & old. You can see how long it takes you to get round the maze (we only got a little lost 3 times) great fun, we walked through the sunflowers and took some home, had a swing on the big swing, played in the tractor pit, sand pit and grabbed a drink and something to eat from their catering van. Would definitely recommend take the whole family. Will return next year." - Google review
