There are two ways people see winter: some see it as cold, damp, and try to spend as little time outside as possible, while others can’t wait for it to come, mainly for one thing – snow. Just think about it, snow is sort of like nature’s LEGO – you can create anything you want with it. Snowmen, snowballs, forts, and even gigantic mazes the size of 10 tennis courts! And in case you think the last one sounds oddly specific, that’s because someone actually built one.
A giant snow maze called “Snowlandia” was built in the small Polish town of Zakopane, one of Poland’s most popular skiing destinations, and you better bring a thermos – because getting out is going to take you a while.
A giant snow maze was recently opened in Poland
50 workers took almost a month to build the maze using over 60,000 ice blocks. They even built a 16 m (52.5 ft) tall snow castle that you can enter next to it.
Snowlandia is bigger than 10 tennis courts, making it the biggest snow maze in the world
Over 60,000 ice blocks were used to create the maze
The maze is lit up with colorful lights during night time, making the whole area look almost like something from a fantasy book.

There’s even a huge snow castle you can visit next to it
It’s full of amazing sculptures and treasures you can explore
Artists from Poland and Slovakia created the sculptures to decorate both the maze and the castle. You can already begin planning your trip – Snowlandia is scheduled to open again in January 2020!
There’s even an ice throne if you’re not afraid to freeze your butt!
Snowlandia in Zakopane represents a unique blend of creativity, engineering, and community spirit, transforming the natural landscape into a playground of icy enchantment. As the world’s largest snow maze, it invites visitors to lose themselves in its corridors and discover the magic of winter in a way that’s larger than life.
