Amazing Chicago’s Funhouse Maze

While walking around Navy Pier we stumbled upon Amazing Chicago’s Funhouse Maze so we had to check it out. Boyfriend and I purchased the Value Pass for $ 10.99/each, this includes entry into the maze, a game of Atomic Rush and a game of Time Freak.
The Maze: the mirror portion was my favorite to figure out, I am not going to give away any secrets though! Walking on the bridge in the tunnel made me feel like I was turning sideways.
Time Freak: you battle another person by running around in separated rooms and hitting the button that lights up, I beat boyfriend. Victorious!
Atomic Rush: you are in the same room, you both choose a color and you run around hitting that color when it lights up. Once again, I won. All I do is win, win, win no matter what!
It was definitely fun to try but I would not purchase an All Day Pass here.

We did the maze, time freak, and atomic rush. The time freak and atomic rush games are fun if you’re an adult feeling a little competitive (or a child), and the mirror maze and spinning tunnel were the best part of the fun house. I felt a little too old for the rest of the fun house/​maze, but we really enjoyed ourselves and laughed quite a bit.

some shady ass motherfucker at this establishment scammed my credit card info and tried to charge some footwear at
I’m sure it would be very easy to find out who did this. This happened on Friday 5-​1-​2015 around noon. See who was on register at that time and I guarantee you that you’ll find his ass. I’ll definitely be following up by going there personally and get to the bottom of this!!!

Kids had a great time, got some exercise and loved all the attractions. Ray was very helpful and had tons of patiences w all the children.

I came here today and a wonderful young lady named Hope help us all day, even helped with my 4 year old niece when all of us adults was tired. She was so upbeat and truly gave top customer service. We did all 3 attractions and had a blast. My neice is 4 and had the time of her life she didn’t want to leave and she absolutely loved Hope. I would recommend doing the all day pass. We left and went to Haagen Dazs ate ice cream and came back for more fun.

I purchased a groupon for this and was worried the kids would be to old for it. We ended up having a blast. The maze part with the lights was a ton of fun. My husband and I were laughing and running around like little kids. It took us a while to figure out the exit and not sure if we would have been able to if we did not see another family exit it. The inside part is really out dated. The frames and pics screwed to the walls need to be replaced. It is 2014. Time to revamp the place. The lights inside are old and do not give off much of a effect. Especially since you are located in the biggest tourist spot in Chicago. I think the concept is great they just need to re-​do the entire place. Need ideas? The kids came up with a huge list on the way home.

Came here with a Groupon and actually had a decent time! I didn’t originally think it would be very hard to navigate through, but my boyfriend and I ended up getting stuck for some time in the maze of mirrors. We didn’t take too much time to go through after making it through that section, and I would say the whole thing probably lasted us no more than 30 minutes.
This would be really fun with younger kids — there were a lot of them there the day we went. We also got to play one of the arcade games after we went through the maze which was also a good cap to the whole experience.
If you go, definitely get the Groupon, but a good bit of fun if you are visiting Navy Pier.

Use the groupon! Must be young at heart to enjoy this attraction! We found ourselves laughing at our own stupidity in the maze of mirrors. We were the only ones in the maze, but I think it would have been more fun with more. The puffs of air will make you jump! Good luck in the spinning room… I wouldn’t recommend that after any booze! The games afterwards were a good way to get the blood flowing, but once again would have been more fun than with just us two. It was a fun little adventure for just $ 12 for 2.

Have been coming to Navy pier for years and never have gone in the maze. But it was fun. We enjoyed it. Once you figure your way out of the mirror Maze. well there’s more. Deff recommend it for the family.

I thought this looked like fun, so I purchased a Groupon for 2. The maze itself was pretty decent (if you can get past the kids running around like loons with no parental supervision) and there were a lot if fun facts about Chicago spread out throughout the maze. We got through the maze in no time (4 adults, 15 – 20 minutes tops), so I wished it were a tad bit longer. There are some fun arcade games available as well, depending on which ticket you buy. Our Groupon included two games per person as well, so we tested them out. Recommend this venue for the young and old, but definitely search for a coupon discount or Groupon.

Average price: $ 12
Please, please just be young when you go in here. Even young at heart. My god, the stupid trick to that mirror maze. Frustrating as it took us stupid long to exit. We felt very shamed as adults. Since we made the trek to Navy Pier, and there’s really not all that much to do there, the Funhouse Maze was a nice option. The bridge with the spinning wall was the next best thing.
What was more fun were the games at the end: Mind Freak and Time Warp. We played both, and one’s great because you can play with three people, whereas the other is more team competition.

I also, bought a groupon.
My boyfriend and I went in… the mirrors we didn’t get at first. After that it was easy. There is a tunnel that makes you fee like you’re spinning which was a trip. I wouldn’t take my daughter (who is 8) in there because shes overly sensitive but I saw kids in there that handled it just fine.
Only issue is its just a few rooms… super short.

Great for kids .I Thought it was going to be a nice size maze but it’s more like a few rooms with colorful lights and noise makers. I guess its nice for kids. You can finish this place within three to four minutes. I think it’s a bit expensive.

We went here because we were already at the Navy Pier and wanted things to do. We purchased a groupon prior to «paying» for our ticket outside. We got two tickets to the maze and two tickets to the mind freak game for $ 12.
The maze itself was only challenging through the mirrors. We just could not figure the way out, neither could many of the other kids /​adults there. There were a few kids crying because it was frustrating. The big downside was that the maze did get crowded, and when too many people are in the maze at one time makes it less enjoyable. You can’t really trick yourself if you essentially follow the herd in front of you. So we found our way to the beginning, and waited for others to pass by us before we tried to do it ourselves. Once past the mirrors, the rest of the maze was different, but without challenge.
The highlight of the event was the mind freak game that we played after we exited the maze. It’s a light button «whack a mole» in a box. The challenge is you need to hit the buttons when it lights up to gain the most points against your opposing side. This is what made it fun because you wanted to win. It was a good workout.
Overall for $ 12 for two people this was a great deal. If we paid full price, this probably would not have been worth it for us as adults.

I love the Amazing Funhouse Maze! As a Chicago native, I feel like this is the only reason to visit Navy Pier. I went here in December and the guy working there (Jeremy) was super nice. We also got tickets for the Time Warp game and it was super fun! Be sure not to take children that are really young (6 and under) as they tend to be carried out crying by parents.

Great for kids but lame for adults. Thought it was going to be like an actual maze but it’s more like a few rooms with strobe lights and noise makers. You can finish this place within six minutes. If it were cheaper, I’d give it a higher rating but for what it is, I think it’s a bit expensive. Do yourself a favor and stick with the ferris wheel.

I think it is worth visiting at least once. There is a mirror room that we truly enjoyed in a company of six. The darkness and blinking light make it actually quite confusing. Then there is some bridge, it does not move but because the ceiling and walls move you have a feeling that you will fall now, it is quite unusual. Throughout the journey you need to crack a code to get a secret word. I was a bit disappointed that there is no actual prize at the end just fake golden coins, but kids totally loved it!
