This year we pay tribute to the turtle and its role as a literary subject and character within various cultures. Explore the zigzag spaces, tunnels, and multi-level views created in Woodmere’s 2023 straw maze. Built with massive bales of straw and designed by architects Peter Everett Brown and Barbara Ann Sprague of BrownSprague LLC, this year’s maze provides fun and recreation for all ages.

The Straw Maze has been made possible by a generous donation from AddVal, Inc.
