    If you are visiting petrin tower and want to spend alot of time up the hill then pop into the mirror maze. But all in all its a very small maze with a room at the end where you can see yourself in distorted mirrors. I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to visit the mirror maze

    A very small "museum", if you do not read the words carefully about five minutes to go through. But it is, after all, a surviving historical site that shows how people used to entertain themselves. It has value as historical material, but it's really not worth the 100 kroner ticket price. I would be happier if it was 50 kroner :)

    In contrary to the information on the website and some travel guides, this is not an activity for adults. It is very small and definitely not a maze. I doubt if it is even worth visiting with children. If you purchase a ticket, buy the combination ticket with the mini Eiffel tower. Visiting the tower is worth the trip to Petrin.

    Mirror maze very easy, takes about a minute. However the interior is very beautifully decorated and it's apparently the last preserved pavillon from the 19th century in Europe! Fun for children with distorting mirrors.

    My experience at the maze was not as enjoyable as I hoped. The admission fee was not reasonable, I found the maze to be quite short and easy to navigate. Despite this, my friends and I tried to make the most of our visit by taking our time going through the maze again and enjoying the reflections. However, we were disappointed when the staff asked us to leave and the staff was not very polite about it. Additionally, the last room was quite crowded and did not add much to our experience. While I appreciate the effort that went into creating the maze, I would suggest that the staff work on improving their customer service and consider adding more challenging elements to the maze to make it more engaging for visitors.

    It’s small and very crowded. I would say it’s more for children. It’s not a labyrinth or a museum. It’s just a room with a few mirrors that deforms that you see. Luckily I did not pay the entrance because I had the Prague card.

    It's terrible to be honest. Don't waste your precious time here. We were lucky to not have any crowd to wait on. But the mirror maze lasted 1 minute. At the end you have a couple of funky mirrors where families take way too long to take a simple picture. If you feel like wasting your money anyway. Please contact me... :) I'll be happy to invest it in something smarter.

    Very disappointing. There is no maze, just a few mirrors at angles. It takes less than a minute to walk through. Claims that this is supposed to be an experience of how people enjoyed themselves 100 years ago is nonsense. It's not 1922! Don't advertise it as a maze. That is misleading.

    Beware! First of all, this isn't even a maze which means you can't get lost in it even if you try and even if you're 5 years of age. Now truly there are mirrors. But mostly there are tourists. And a lot of them because this is a trap and a very effective one. Don't even think twice before turning your back and saving some time and money from this thing.

    Maze was too short (2 mins) and very simple impossible to get lost however at the end you have very funny mirrors enough to please your day but definitely not worth the price. Total scam

  • 1/5 Siren S. 10 months ago on Google
    Very short maze. We needed only 26s to walk through the maze. Only one path, no second possible path to have any fun. It is a bad tourist attraction. Pay attention, there is a fat man in blue walking around near this area and shouting very badly to kids from the visitors here. He could be drunk, not sure why he was so angry with the kids.even the parents were shocked. He was speaking Czech, I guess. The tourists were obviously not from local, probably couldn't react at that time. Protect your kids.

    It is situated on the top of Petrin hill in a building that looks like a castle. When entering inside you immediately find yourself in a maze of mirrors. The feeling is cool. Apart from the maze there is also a room of laughter with twisted mirrors that is really funny. You can buy one ticket to the maze for 120czk/adult or get a combined ticket tower+maze for 260czk. But the price is too high for 3 min experience.

    We visted yesterday and entered and..... 4 mins later we exited. The maze is impossible to get lost and there is one picture with historical facts... a total rip off. The mirrors hall is also poor. Open exiting, I spoke to the female in the booth and asked for a refund and the lady refused. The male attendant said we should have walked slower around the maze! I asked how I could email my feedback and the male said to put my opinion on the Internet.... so I have

    A cute place but way too short unfortunately. Even the kids found it too simple.

  • 4/5 Arie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Small yet funny place to visit. The maze is very short and simple. The mirrors room has just about 8-10 mirrors. Enough to cheer up. A war battle picture is in between (couldn't figure out how it belongs to this place). Overall, it can be covered in 10 minutes, in slow motion with selfies in the mirror room. Decide for yourself if it is worth your money (100 CZK)

    The maze is very small, you can see everything in about two minutes. The mirrors, are not really challenging, you quickly find the way. Still, it's fun and definitely exciting for kids.

    Not worth it at all. To be honest, don’t spend your money there. You are through the labyrinth in 1 minute. The worst maze ever. I would give 0 stars if it would be possible

  • 2/5 Salih S. 8 months ago on Google
    The name of the place is misleading. The maze is so small and easy to solve that it does not feel like a real "maze." There is a second room inside with oddly shaped mirrors that create funny reflections, but the room is small, and there aren't many mirrors. The place is perfect for kids, and a child will find it very amusing, while adults are most probably gonna be disappointed. If there's a long queue, I would say it's not worth it, but if there's no one line and you also wanna visit the tower next to it then give it a try, but don't have high expectations.

    Maze was initially very underwhelming, maze implies multiple options and challenges when in reality this maze is easily identified with mirrors either side. Basically just walking through a room with mirrors. Probably good for children. Its not overly amazing for adults especially considering the entry price.

  • 3/5 Noémi J. 8 months ago on Google
    We got the combined ticket at the tower to get into the maze as well. Had we known the line in front and how short the maze is, we probably wouldn’t want to go in. I understand that it’s a historical site and meant to show how entertainment used to be 100 years ago but the crowd management has a lot to improve. Given that it’s a short maze and they let in lots of people at the same time, you can literally follow the crowd instead of enjoying finding your way out. 🪞 There is a small room with distorted mirrors at the end which also full of people, difficult to enjoy as everyone just stands there, no flow whatsoever. Unless you have kids there is not much this place can offer (there were lots of families and the kids definitely enjoyed)

    Not worth it for adults. We have to wait at a queue of people buying tickets even if we already have tickets. Not eficient! And inside.. it’s really small. Nice only for kids in my opinion.

    General rule. In Prague, don’t trust closing time. Go ANYWHERE 30-40 minutes BEFORE closing. We were here 28 minutes before closing and were waved off. FOLLOW UP RESPONSE: Thank you for the response, we did have a lovely time in Prague. I would simply recommend that you change your hours to reflect when you'd like to accept the last visitor. "Closing" hours typically implies to the customer that you will accept visitors UNTIL that time. If it takes half an hour then posting closing hours a half hour earlier allows guests to arrive within a scheduled time that they see in your information. It doesn't leave them guessing.

    The glass maze is ok, but walk very very slowly, enjoy it, as it’s short, once you get to the end, you aren’t allowed to return. There’s also a room with funny mirrors, definitely visit that too, good fun but only very short. Kids friendly.

  • 5/5 gabRiele t. 2 years ago on Google
    A favourite spot for children and adults alike. From the outside, this building resembles a small castle, but inside, instead of a labyrinth with mysterious stone hallways, you'll find one made of mirrors. First you'll make your way through the maze to the diorama of the battle of the Praguers against the Swedes at the Charles Bridge in 1648 and then through the "hall of laughter" where warped and twisted mirrors will change your appearance in crazy ways.

    Quite effective but very short maze, fun with the distortion mirrors at the end.

  • 4/5 Ilyas K. 1 year ago on Google
    It took 4-5 mins… costs 100 cz kron. Buy the ticket together with the tower so it’ll cost cheaper.

  • 5/5 Tina H. 1 year ago on Google
    I really live this place! It is not large, and there is no risk to get lost in the mirrors, but it has the historical charme. I have been there several times with various friends, and it was always great fun - everybody enjoyed it.

  • 2/5 Дарья �. 5 months ago on Google
    There is always a huge queue of people here. We decided to come in too and it wasn't worth it. The place is very small. The maze can be completed in 1 minute. There are distorting funny mirrors at the end. I was completely unimpressed. Due to the fact that there is just an incredible number of people at the same time, you will not even be able to make a cool photo for your social networks, if you count on it ahah

  • 1/5 linda c. 6 months ago on Google
    Really awful experience. The lady at the front office is really rude. Me and my friend couldn’t go in as students even after all the proofs se needed and every time she was even worse. I recommend to change staff because you’re losing money because of her.

  • 2/5 Erkin K. 5 months ago on Google
    There is no maze. The experience is 1 minute simple walk through mirrors. There are some concave and convex mirrors at the end so that you can have a little fun.

  • 3/5 Marco L. 6 months ago on Google
    Kein Highlight für Prag. Sehr kurzes Vergnügen- einzigst die Zerrspiegel amüsieren.

  • 1/5 N L. 10 months ago on Google
    This is a rip off. This attraction should not charge as much for something so small. It was fun for about 5 minutes... Not worth the entree fee.

  • 3/5 bhavesh p. 10 months ago on Google
    Ok if you have kids... very small but a laugh and something different

  • 5/5 Steve Harris (. 4 years ago on Google
    Waw ! This can really do ya melon some damage. Only small but great fun. You can't get lost in here. Some history to read and look at then a load of mirrors to make me look slim and fatter and taller !

    Maze is a little bit small. Doesn't really feel like a maze. But it looks nice

  • 3/5 Alexandre K. 2 years ago on Google
    Only about 15 minutes to visit the whole place, has some cool mirrors but not worth the price.

  • 2/5 Ricardo S. 2 years ago on Google
    It is fun but lasts only 5 minutes. Too expensive

  • 1/5 Sara A. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful but very bad and rude staff. Not understanding of children, rude to the children instead of explaining. It’s New year, today is the 2nd of January, what’s wrong with you?

  • 5/5 Andrew Triganza S. 2 years ago on Google
    Try it out. Worth visiting when visiting Petrin Tower.

  • 3/5 Vasilis F. 1 year ago on Google
    A minor attraction. A small maze with mirrors. You can have some fun for a little while there.

  • 3/5 D. E. 2 years ago on Google
    I used to go here as a little kiddo & I have decided recently that I would let in my children. They enjoyed a little bit, but honestly, price for ticket is high as u are in there for like 10 minutes max & it doesn't worth it at all. To smash that negativity a little bit - I must say the outside of the building is beautifully renovated.

  • 4/5 Klara F. 1 year ago on Google
    Really funny. We got a discount because a part was apparently closed. The maze is just smaller than I was expected.

  • 2/5 Shary B. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is maybe nice for reeeally small children, but everyone over 6 won’t enjoy it. The mirror maze itself is extremely small and I rather call it a mirror corridor than a maze. The mirror in the end that deform your body are a nice gadget but not incredible. If it would be 1€ entrance it would be fine. But it is way overpriced and not worth the money at all. Don’t waste your time here and take your children to a nice playground in prague, they will have more fun there.

  • 4/5 George D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place for a little fun time. Combined ticket with the tower.

  • 1/5 Carole O. 1 year ago on Google
    A very rude man at the entrance wouldn’t let is in with a certified service dog sitting in its bag where it would have stayed there during the visit. He didn’t want to hear or see anything about papers and certificates. The decision itself might be questionable but the rude behavior was completely inappropriate and unacceptable! I felt disrespected and discriminated against. If you care about accessibility and inclusion at all, stay away from that place!

  • 4/5 Amrita B. 1 year ago on Google
    Interesting place but I expected the maze to be little longer. There were more mirror magic apart from the maze so good place for adults and kids. It was quite a hike to reach through the path Google provided from the Hellichova side. It is best to enter from the Strahovska side.

  • 3/5 Julia W. 1 year ago on Google
    Interesting place. We went on a Prague Visitor pass. Small maze of mirrors but we were probably in and out in under 20mins. Was a bit of a giggle though. Would be great for kids

  • 1/5 Norah F. 1 year ago on Google
    Not worth the admission. Our 3 year old walked through in under one minute. It’s attractive for photos but not worth the cost. There’s a better on in Cesky Krumlov! Staff in entire park, from the tram ride up to all attractions all seem unhappy.

  • 2/5 Paul P. 1 year ago on Google
    The mirror maze was a mayor let-down, the staff a bit grumpy and it all seemed more of a cash cow. On the outside it looks bigger but once inside you're gonna be disappointed by the short walk it actually is through the maze. Maybe 4-5 corners. There's even staff inside the maze directing you to the exit quick enough so you won't spend too much time in there. And don't touch the mirrors or the staff gets on to you! After the 'maze' you enter a room with about 10 funny mirrors but honestly, once you seen 2 you've seen them all. We spend not even 10 minutes in there and it's not really worth the money (200 Kč for 2 adults and 1child under 6 free of charge) We were wondering why the people coming out looked so unhappy. We found out the hard way. Wouldn't advise it.
