You Won't Believe these Ice and Snow Mazes !

You know about hedge mazes and corn mazes, but have you ever been to a maze made of ice and snow ? Well they pop up form time to time around the world (always in the Winter months and in cold climates). Some of them are yearly installations while others we may never see again. Since it is December this is a good time to search for them on your local news !

Let’s take a look at 5 Ice and Snow Mazes:

Ice Palace Maze in Stillwater, Minnesota

This maze, located outside the Zephyr Theatre, was made of approximately 500,000 pounds of ice. It features ice sculptures, ice thrones for photo ops, and ice slides. Watching this maze be made on YouTube is great ! But, now you can find the maze in Eagan…

Minnesota Ice Maze at Viking Lakes, Eagan, Minnesota

This maze of ice is made by the Minnesota Ice company - “the nation's leading manufacturer of sculpture-grade ice and is the Midwest leader in artisan ice production.”. Made from over 1 million pounds of ice this maze can be found at 2645 Vikings Cir, Eagan, MN 55121. Great video showcasing the maze !

Snow Labyrinth in Zakopane, Poland

If someone asked you if you wanted to visit Snowlandia would you want to go ? I say yes, if just to check out this wonderful maze made of snow, the largest snow maze in the world, spread across 2,500 square meters.

Ice Maze at CityCenter in Washington, D.C.

This maze, located in CityCenterDC, was the largest clear ice maze in the United States at the time of its construction. Visitors could walk through it for free during a limited time.

Arctic Glacier Ice Maze, USA

At 37 acres large, this maze was created by Cory B Livingood. Located in Matanuska-Susitna, I hope this maze comes back again ! You can listen to information about this maze and it’s construction directly from Cory !

6 Stunning Pieces of Maze Art showing Cleveland, Ohio

If you are familiar with this site you know you get a new piece of maze art every week. Initially, these mazes were of signs or landmarks around the US, but more recently I have added many more international destinations (6 amazing Mexican Mazes). As I walk around and take in my surroundings I sometimes see things and think - I should make a maze of that. So I take a picture and make a maze out of it. If it is good you will eventually see it on the site ! I have happened to live in Cleveland, Ohio for much of the last few years so it is the topic of a lot of my mazes. Today I pull together my best maze art from Cleveland, Ohio. All mazes are available for download by clicking the link in the header.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum Maze

One of my most popular mazes, and the winner of maze of the year in 2022. Like most mazes this looks best printed large. I made it in two colors, and it was made from a photograph I took of the museum. If you ever are in Cleveland to visit, this should be one of your stops.

Rock n Roll HOF Maze

Playhouse Square Sign Maze

Most people do not know that the theatre district in Cleveland is the 2nd largest in the country after Broadway in NYC. I lived a block from this sign and could see it from my window so it made a natural subject matter for a maze.

The Free Stamp Maze

A quick walk from the Rock Museum located in a downtown park. This stamp has a nice story you can read about here. The Stamp is made of aluminum and steel and weighs 70,000 pounds !

Peter B Lewis Building Maze

Located on the campus of Case Western Reserve University, this style of architecture of this should remind you of many buildings because it was designed by the famous architect Frank Gehry. The Peter B Lewis building houses the Weatherhead School of Management, and it opened in 2002. This is just one side of the building - but it is quirky from most angles !

The Agora Sign Maze

One of my first sign mazes. I love this sign. If you live around Cleveland chances are you have seen a concert or comedy show here at some point.

Severance Hall Maze

The Cleveland Orchestra is one of the best in the world. This is where they make their home. A different style than my other mazes and one that I revised after an initial rendering.

BONUS: Pro Football Hall of Fame Museum Maze in Canton, Ohio

Located down route 77, this museum is the center of the football world every August when the induction ceremony takes place and the first preseason game of the season happens. Everyone should visit at some point who is a fan of football. The maze is more difficult than most other ones on the site.

I hope you enjoy these Cleveland mazes. I’m sure I will make more in the future !

Templo de Sangre de Cristo Maze

The first of my church mazes from Oaxaca. I really like how this maze came out. Originally in black and white, I recently added color and shadows to the maze.

Monte Albán Maze

If you visit Oaxaca, this is the reason. A quick trip outside of the city, this maze is one of the many impressive structures at the site. Click on my original post to see my pictures of the site (and download the maze). This maze also includes shadows !

Monte Alban Maze

Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán Maze

Maze of the week #100. This one took me a few months to make as I kept going back to the church to capture more details. It is also one of the largest mazes on the website. Eventually I switched it from a black and white maze to a full color !

Santo Domingo Maze

Maze of the Week #100 - Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán

I am very excited to present Maze of the Week #100 ! This maze took me a long time to complete. I started it on March 15 and completed it on September 10. I took a break from it for a few months while I worked on other projects (and over 30 different other mazes). In the end I finished the maze and hope you enjoy the result. Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán is located in Oaxaca de Juárez, Mexico. This church was a 10 minute walk from where I lived in the Winter and I visited it often. I have over 50 pictures on my camera of the church to prove this !

The groundbreaking of this church began in 1572 and was completed in 1724. You can read about the history here. The architecture of the church is amazing and it is worth a visit if you are in the area. This is my 4th maze from Oaxaca, and 2nd church (the other church is only 1 block away !):

Mexican Door


YouTube: While there are videos showing just the church, since I lived in the city, I wanted to include a longer form video about the entire city.

Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán

The Maze: Mostly black and white with a bit of color where I felt it would help define the shape. This is a very large scale maze and the bigger the better. I designed it at 35 x 73 inches, so a 3x6 foot poster is how it is meant to be viewed and printed.
