Absolute disappointment. Super short, smudges all over glass, overall disappointment for kids. Done in 30seconds

This is just a tourist trap. Overpriced activity for what it is. It's a small room with a bunch of mirrors, it probably takes 10 mins tops to complete this maze. We finished the maze so fast that we went back in for a second time just to play hide and seek and to try to get our money's worth. Any other activity is better than this, save your money. read more

Ripley's Mirror Maze - Outside entrance - Escape Games Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

This was a little experience we did for $15 dollars. The mirror maze was not very difficult, however, what made it fun for me was doing it with my lil Sis, and I'd never experience a mirror maze before. The music playing was cool and strobe lights added to the fun. Very cool place. read more

Spending $1 on random glasses would have only compounded the net loss on the experience. You can easily tell which is the correct path just by looking at the carpet. There should be either some fog or maybe darker lighting cuz we literally walked right thru it in no time at all. read more

I feel like this is only worth it if you bought the combo ticket with the aquarium including other attractions. My kids enjoyed it, but it is very short. I highly recommend that you go through a few times to enjoy it. The good news is that if you have a ticket here, it's good all day so you can visit and come back later in the day if you want. Overall I would recommend this only if you have a combo ticket, and not paying just for a single ticket. read more

Ripley's marvelous mirror maze is one of the many Ripley's tourists attractions on the popular downtown parlay strip of Gatlinburg. This particular Ripley's attraction is a mirror maze. It is very much overpriced and a tourist trap. However it's quick and simple fun. We usually stop in with the kids when we visit the town and they always have fun. It takes maybe 5 minutes to get through. On my most recent visit in March of 2022 I did learn that when you purchase tickets you can go through the maze as many times as you want for the remainder of the day. So if you are stating near the strip or spending a long day you could make a return visit. Overall pretty fun tourist attraction. The lights, trick mirrors, illusions and music are popular with my girls and makes for a good way for them to Blow off steam and run around after walking the always crowded parkway strip. read more

It gets a bad rep but we loved our experience. It's fun to get the pass for 3 Ripley's and be able to go in and out of the mirror maze all day long. Staff was friendly and the candy section was plentiful. read more

There's really nothing bad to say about this it's a fun quick little attraction to take especially if you already got the 7+ attractions for ripleys collection. read more

Ripley's Mirror Maze - Escape Games Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

This attraction is a decent addition to your itinerary if you have smaller children. I visited the Gatlinburg location with my 2 kids (6 & 4) in conjunction with the combo ticket with the aquarium. They were not a fan of having to wear the plastic gloves during our walk through, but I understand it is necessary to not only prevent smudges on the mirrors but also cut down on spreading too many germs. We declined the add on $1 3D glasses and still enjoyed the 3-minute maze walk. The kids started to get a little anxious midway through with the music being a little loud and the light effects, but we made it to the end and I'd say overall it was a success. Children older than 10 may not get much enjoyment from this attraction so keep that in mind on your next trip. read more

What big fun!!! I feel like they made this place for big kids (at heart), like me! My friend and I had an absolute blast in here!!! I thought it would be corny, but it is what you make it, and we made it fun!! First off, I bought these tickets with my aquarium purchase in order to get a discount. Don't miss out on that! When I arrived, they asked if I wanted to buy the glasses for $1. I hesitated, but I'm SO glad I did! Without the glasses, this place would have been a major let down, and we probably would have made it through the maze in under 10 minutes. With the glasses though, it's SO cool!! We spent forever in there, and got some fantastic photos out of it!! I'm so glad we stopped in! read more

I'm never a huge fan of these things but when it's what every one else is doing, you go with them. Over priced...definitely...but so is everything else in Gatlinburg. Be sure and take the offered glasses tonight order to make the moment a bit more challenging. The disco room was the best part. Done and out in under fifteen minutes. Yay for the candy shop at the end!! read more

It took longer to get our gloves on then it did to get through the maze. Definitely took us less than 5 mins.

We didn't get any enjoyment from this attraction. Waste of time and money for anyone over 10 years old.

Extremely disappointed! Finger prints everywhere, so you could easily tell which way to go. Very short, in and out in less than a couple of minutes. If your looking for a quality mirror maze, go to Pigeon Forge, this is just a tourist trap read more

Probably one place you or your children won't enjoy. The whole mirror maze took less than 10 minutes to finish it. And at the end you come out just wondering, what is this place doing here. Very disappointed, especially with everything around Gatlinburg Tennessee that is nice! read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY! This place is TINY. My wife and I went through the ENTIRE "maze" in LESS than 5 minutes (and we were there when it was dead, so we went through the maze forwards and backwards TWICE in that amount of time. Luckily we had a coupon and got $6 off, but it was still $16 after tax for us to go through a 5 minute maze. Is it neat? Sure... a little campy, but still neat. Is it worth $7-10 PER PERSON for 5 minutes? Absolutely not. read more

Disappointing! An over priced short maze filled with dirty mirrors that makes it very easy to navigate. Not worth the experience for the price paid. Look for better fun on the drag read more

Do not waste your money, my husband and I finished this one in less than 5 minutes. The mirrors were scratched and had finger prints. I got excited during the flashing lights parts but it took you to more regular mirrors. The mirror maze at Castle of Chaos is so much better, has a little video you watch so there's a story, there's great optical illusions & overall way more fun. I should've known this wasn't going to be impressive considering it's in a candy shop & the lady selling tickets looked like she wanted to be anywhere else but there. read more

Okay so this is not a complete waste of money. If you have kids I can see this being fun. But it was way to easy for my partner and I to get through it. read more

This was underwhelming. It might have been a better experience if I had not gone in with four people. We went thru the entire thing in u der 10 minutes. It was raining so it got us out of the rain. read more

The maze itself is terrible. Literally took the kids 2 minutes to get through. Service was terrible the lady and man upfront had an attitude and didn't care to explain things thoroughly to us. Waste of money completely. read more

The kids loved it and it was a pretty inexpensive attraction. The storefront was LOADED with candy, which the kids loved...me, not so much. It's location on the strip is ideal and once you've paid for admission, you can go in as many times as you'd like that day. Both the 2 year old and the teenagers enjoyed this, so for the price, we'll probably visit it again next we're in the area. read more

This is the only Ripley's Museum I do not recommend going to. The maze is just a big room with some dirty mirrors and poor lighting. Do not waste your money. There is more places in Gatlinburg that is worth the money. read more

Honestly, my family thoroughly enjoyed the mirror maze -- it's good, clean, family fun, and they gave us a military discount. Yes, it's a small maze, and if you're running through it just to see how fast you can finish - you'll likely be a bit disappointed. However, you can go back through as many times as you want, and your pass is good all day long. For us, it was a welcome escape from a drizzly cold day of window shopping, and our two toddler daughters LOVED it! Our 3 year old loved spinning around/dancing like a ballerina in the infinity room (enclosed room of mirrors/disco lights w/Pink Floyd-type music piped in), while my 4 year old excitedly walked through the maze like she was an explorer/detective...over and over, determined to get through the maze "all by herself." ;-) My husband and I were content to wander around, amused by how much the girls enjoyed it, exploring all the possible pathway options and mirror "tricks" for a good 20-25 minutes. We weren't in a hurry, and I was having fun taking goofy pics of my husband. ;-) We would have stayed longer, had my 3 yr old not "bit it" face first into a mirror. At that point, she'd had enough and was ready to go home. ;-) Tip: There are no lockers, so we left our jackets, bags, and strollers, etc. up front behind the ticket counter - no problem. read more

Neat but not worth the price. There is literally only one way through the maze so it's not like you can actually get turned around anywhere. It's a fairly small maze so it's a fairly quick adventure. With so many interesting things to do in Gatlinburg, this is a bit of a money waste. Opt for the Aquarium or museum instead. read more

This was the biggest waste of time and money during my trip to Gatlinburg. It cost about $22 for two people's admission, and literally took 5 minutes to get through. I know it's more child-friendly, but it wasn't difficult in the least! I was also expecting some "fun house" mirrors that distorted your image - nada! The only saving grace was the kinda cool disco and laser light room in the middle of the maze. Don't waste yr time or money. read more

Really nice cool maze for kids. I went along for the fun. The maze is short but other than that it's not bad for 10 bucks

I should have gone with my gut on this one and stayed away as I suspected it would be a rip-off but as I was in the vacation mood, decided to go in anyway. Paid the extra $1.00 for the 3D glasses.......I suspected the staff members must have been laughing in their head and saw me as a typical sucker. Go inside the maze and tried the glasses on and off and they make no difference. I only put them back on, to try and hide my shame. In no time flat, I was out the other end of the maze, I have been lost longer in my closet and I am sure a blind man without the use of his cane, could have navigated the maze just as quickly as I did. The ticket was good to go back in again for as many times that day as you wanted but I could only live down the embarrassment of seeing my reflection in those mirror's, just that one time. read more

Probably much better for younger children. For my teenage son and our family it was an overpriced maze that took maybe 10 minutes to walk through and could see the way out in the reflection of the mirrors. read more

I thought the maze was alright. My young son loved it. I thought the best part was the funny angles of the mirrors that allowed you to see yourself walking in different directions. I thought there would be some funny mirrors to distort your reflection, but that is alright. I didn't go in for my entertainment. It was definitely for my son to enjoy, and he did enjoy it. We bought the extra glasses, and it definitely made it more challenging to get through. We went through twice. Without the glasses, it would still be fun for little ones. Kid friendly, but if they are little, go with them. I wouldn't let mine go alone. read more

I wouldn't buy this ticket solely for this attraction but if you get it as part of a package it's a quickly little thing to do that's interesting. It's kinda of small and you can get through it quick but it's fun to play around inside. Probably a better attraction for the smaller kids but my niece and I are both adults and we killed a quick half hour goofing around in here. read more

I went with my 8 year old and 6 year old. It was great for their ages. When we bought tickets, the attendants offered us 3D glasses, and they made it a lot more fun. We wore plastic gloves to prevent smudges on the mirrors, and they all seemed very clean. The maze was fun, and it wasn't too crowded. We let the kids lead the way, and it was challenging enough to keep them excited, but they were able to figure it out on their own. They let us turn around and do the maze backwards after we got through. Twice was enough for my kids, but they had a great time. read more

Um. What? Mirror Maze? This was more like a Mirror Zig Zag. Left right left right left right - that's the maze. In two minutes. The end. read more

Too short. It was fun with my wife and daughter but it was pretty short. Wished it was a bit longer. Worth it if you buy the combo pack as it's another stop on your ripley day, but not worth if you're paying for just the mirror maze. read more

This is not amazing but it is better than some of the other attractions. We bought tickets for my wife and 6 Year Old son, and they had a great time. It took them quite a while to solve the maze, which made the price more worthwhile. We were not in a hurry, so we let son try to solve it himself and after about 20 minutes, he did. The staff were super cool About letting us go in and check on him a few times to make sure he was OK. *Pay the extra dollar and get the glasses! It makes the entire experience much better! read more

The kids did this and it was pricey. They asked if we wanted 3d glasses for a dollar extra, but they told me they made no difference at all so don't bother with the glasses. read more

It would be a 5 star rating if it was longer or cost less. The kids (under 13) loved it but complained it was toooooo short. The parents thought it was ok but way too pricey. So - check it out if you feel rich and you have younger kids. read more

My kids enjoyed this place and it is only $10 and they can go thru as many times as they want. The guy checking us in was very nice too. My kids said the glasses were worth the extra $1. read more

On our vacation to Gatlinburg we visited the Ripley's Aquarium and saved money buying a ticket package on the aquarium website. With it we chose 3 attractions. So we had the aquarium and then got to choose 3 of 6 other options. One option we chose was the mirror maze. It was fun and all three of us enjoyed it, but it was so short. We literally were done in six (6) minutes. The infinity zone was cool and I wish that part was longer. Because of the package we purchased it was fine for what we spent but if we had walked up and paid regular admission I'd be really upset. Again it was fun, but it is extremely short. read more

Mirror maze! Mirror maze! Uh, wait, that is it? I think the only way to make this maze last longer would be to blindfold yourself and crawl on your hands and knees. Also, the subsequent concussion you would get from bumping into the mirrors would work to trick you into thinking you had a good time. From the cashier jumping your case if you don't immediately put on the plastic gloves ( I get it, they don't want to have to constantly clean the mirrors but chill out!) to the 5 minutes it takes to do the whole maze, the whole thing is a bust. read more
