Which mazes in Europe are worth visiting with children?

Accepted answer

One place I can recommend heartily for nearly anyone with children is the Dutch amus*m*nt park De Efteling in Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands. It is one of the oldest amus*m*nt parks in the world, with parts of it dating back to before Disneyland California. Like you ask, it has a nice hedge maze, but that's only a small part of the park.

I personally refer to the park as "a poor man's Disneyland": It is based around the same original fairytales as the classic Disney films like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella,... However, they're far less commercialized and the park itself is not as big, making a day excursion feasible. There are a number of interesting rides for all ages, with fast rides, slow rides and a lot of animatronics. There are also several theaters that have a number of shows per day, including a magical tree for children and a medieval show with horses, ravens and mechanical dragons.

I realize this probably sounds like an advertis*m*nt for the park, but I feel like it's a really good idea for a day trip. If you're just going there for the maze, it's really expensive, but if you go there for the total package, it's totally worth it.
