Kansas City, Missouri: Glass Labyrinth - Outdoor Maze of Glass
Seven-foot-high walls of one-inch-thick glass form a triangular outdoor maze -- with only one way in and out. Designed in 2014 to be permanent; let's hope bird poop and fingerprints don't ruin it.

Closed for season sign posted on entrance. I am bummed as it looked like it would be fun to try.
[J.R., 05/07/2023]It's not a long maze, but we did manage to get twisted at some turns. What a cool structure! This is on the grounds of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art near the shuttlecocks. After the maze, follow the walking path to view more neat things outside.
[John K, 05/02/2017]Do not hurry through here. They keep it pretty clean, and from the outside you can hear the Bong! Bong! of people giving themselves concussions inside. Keep a hand out in front of you, and tell the kids!

The Glass Labyrinth is super fun, but be careful -- it's harder than you think. Move slowly, or you will run into the walls.
[Donna Dingle, 09/02/2014]Although identical in concept to a mirror maze, this is high art, created by New York artist Robert Morris. Opened May 22, 2014.
