About A’maze’ing Acres Adventure Playland

A'maze'ing Acres Adventure Playland is a seasonal outdoor recreation area in Hector, New York, where visitors explore a working hedge maze planted with 500 arbovitae shrubs alongside labyrinths and natural fields. The playground borders the Finger Lakes National Forest and encourages hiking and biking across its grounds. Children engage in outdoor activities including running, jumping, climbing, making forts, and designing obstacle courses that develop strength, coordination, and motor skills. The venue offers Leaps & Bounds Outdoor After-school Group, a weekday program for children in grades K-6 from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Founded by Eleanor, an occupational therapist and yoga specialist, the playland emphasizes sensory development through outdoor play that stimulates sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, body awareness, balance, and spatial orientation. The setting suits families and children seeking nature-based play experiences that foster creativity, problem-solving, and social connections.
