A collection of sign mazes I have made in the past. From famous signs like the Hollywood Maze or The Welcome to Las Vegas Sign Maze to fun bowling and laundromat sign mazes.

welcome to colorado sign maze
Maze of the Week #68
While most welcome signs are standard, flat, metal road signs this sign is done with wood and sometimes stones. I like it. Watch it being made on YouTube.
Tough Guys Lane Sign Maze
Maze of the Week #17
What a great name for a bowling alley. Located at 403 E Lewis St, in Pocatello, Idaho, this bowling alley seems like a great place to knock down some pins. With a restaurant, lounge, birthday party packages, and tons of leagues to join according to the Tough Guy Lanes website.
Emo’s Dairy Mart Shop Sign Maze
Maze of the Week #24
If you are in Peoria, Illinois you probably stop by Emo’s Dairy Mart Shop. According to a story I found, the clown sign went up in 1963 to grab customers attention. The clown also seems to be a marker for travelers who need directions !
Holiday Bowl Texarkana AR Sign
Maze of the week #4
Holiday Bowl is now called Holiday Entertainment Center, at least for their website.
Cabana Inn Sign Maze

Located in downtown Boise, Idaho at 1600 W Main St, Boise, ID, this budget hotel is at the center of all of the cities many attractions.
Elm Road Drive In Theatre Sign Maze
Maze of the Week #98
The Elm Road Drive In Theatre Sign is a wonderful retro sign for a still operating drive-in movie theatre located in Warren, Ohio. You can see what is playing on the drive-ins website. You’ll notice the website prominently features the wonderful sign ! They still have a movieline !
Elgin Car Wash Sign Maze
Maze of the week #78
Located at 313 Dundee Ave in Elgin, Illinois. It appears to have changed colors recently and is now called the X-Treme Auto Spa if you are in town.
Sit and Spin Laundromat Fayetteville AR Maze
Maze of the week #5
Well, it is a laundromat that is self service and open 24/7 just like all the best laundries are. It has free wi-fi which is one thing I love while I wait for my clothes to dry. Located at 737 N Leverett Ave Fayetteville, AR 72701. Here is its Facebook page where you can watch some videos.
Dolles Salt Water Taffy Sign Maze
Dolles Candyland was located at the corner of Rehoboth Avenue and the Boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware since 1927, one year after it was established, but was moved in December of 2021. You can read about the history of the company on the Dolles website.
Nampa Rollerdrome Sign Maze
Nampa Rollerdrome located in Nampa, Idaho opened in 1948. Browsing their website made me want to plan party, but of course what I really like is the colorful vintage sign out front which I made into a maze.
Grandview Motel Sign Maze
Located in Boise, Idaho the Grandview Hotel is an independently owned hotel that as far as I can tell does not have a website. But what it does have is a nice sign.
Don Carter Lanes Sign Maze
Don Carter Lanes is located in Rockford, Illinois. They have 42 lanes and an arcade so I know I would be happy spending a few hours there. To learn about the bowling alley and plan a trip check on the website.
First Baptist Church Sign Maze
This particular sign comes to us from the First Missionary Baptist Church in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a historically important church, and it’s congregation was first organized in 1845. I suggest you read about it’s history on it’s Wikipedia page, or on this website dedicated to black history.
Spillway Lanes Sign Maze
The Spillway Lanes sign in Springfield, Illinois. Or maybe I should more accurately say, the former bowling alley and former sign because when I look for information I can find the address….and there is no bowling alley or sign there anymore. The alley closed in 2007 and the sign came down sometime in the early 2010’s. But I found the sign online and loved it, so I made the maze anyway !
Northgate Shopping Center Sign Maze
You can find this sign in Aurora, Illinois near the road on Route 31 in front of the shopping center. Check out a few different photos on Flickr, and this other photo. Or my favorite view from Google Maps !
Welcome to Las Vegas Sign Maze
This particular sign went up in 1959…and oddly enough sits outside the city limits in Paradise. Or is that actually NOT noteworthy… shouldn’t the sign be at the border of the city limits and possibly never actually in the city ? Apparently this one is not at the border. To read more about the sign’s history check this blog out. And yes - it is on the National List of historic places !
Agora Sign Maze
It has moved around many times, and switched names, but the Agora has been a part of Cleveland, Ohio since 1913. The building currently known as the Agora first opened on March 31, 1913. If you are a fan of Bruce Springsteen and the E street band, in 2014 they released a live album from their 1978 concert there.
Playhouse Square Sign Maze
Playhouse Square is the largest performing arts center in the United States outside of New York City. The district was originally built in the 1920’s and opened in February 1921.
