If there’s one place in Disneyland Paris that feels like stepping straight into a storybook, it’s Alice’s Curious Labyrinth. This whimsical hedge maze invites you to lose yourself in the world of Alice in Wonderland, complete with quirky characters, playful surprises, and a spectacular castle view at the end.
As a travel photographer, I can tell you: this is one of the most Instagrammable attractions in the park — especially in the golden evening light.
Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your visit.
Where Is Alice’s Curious Labyrinth?
The maze is in Fantasyland, just behind the Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups. You can’t miss the bright green hedges and colorful signs inviting you in.
Photography Tip: The entrance archway makes for a perfect shot of your group before you start exploring.
What’s Inside the Maze
You’ll wind your way through twisting paths filled with:
- Oversized flowers and toadstools
- Popping-out characters like the Cheshire Cat
- Interactive surprises for kids
The maze has two main sections:
- The Queen of Hearts’ Maze – More challenging, with playful “dead ends” and fun themed decorations.
- The Queen’s Castle – Climb to the top for one of the best views of Fantasyland.
Best Time to Visit
- Morning: Quietest time for photos.
- Late Afternoon: Soft golden light for the castle view.
- Avoid Midday: Paths can feel a bit crowded, especially on weekends.
Is It Good for Kids?
Yes! This is a perfect low-pressure attraction:
- No height restrictions
- No time limits — you can wander at your own pace
- Plenty of space for toddlers to explore safely
Parent Tip: Keep an eye on little ones; some hedge walls are tall, and it’s easy for them to wander out of sight briefly.
Accessibility
The pathways are mostly flat, but some areas and the Queen’s Castle involve stairs. Wheelchair users can still enjoy much of the maze, but not the elevated view.

Fun Facts
