Winter WonderMaze Opens Nov. 27 at Wauwatosa’s Hart Park

A new holiday tradition is lighting up Hart Park this season as the Winter WonderMaze prepares to open to the public starting Friday, Nov. 27.

The outdoor attraction features a star-lit maze crafted from over 500 evergreen trees, designed for families and friends to explore together. Throughout the maze, visitors will discover interactive surprises, including multiple designated photo opportunities and a feature backdrop near the ticketing area.

Beyond the tree-lined path, the event offers a variety of seasonal activities and amenities. On Friday nights, visitors can play outdoor football bowling hosted by 1st and Bowl. The event also features warming fires and complimentary s’mores provided by Outpost Natural Foods, with vegan options available while supplies last. Track-free train rides will also be available for children.

A selection of concessions will be available for purchase, including hot cocoa, warm winter drinks, snacks, wine, seltzers, and a custom Gathering Place Brew.
