Peñíscola Hedge Maze, with Dinosaurs and a Children's Maze

Between Peñíscola and Benicarló, next to a nursery on the N-340, there is a hedge maze that its website presents as the largest in Spain and the third in Europe. It is an afternoon outing for families, away from the sand and the slopes of the old town.

Hedges, dinosaurs and a square in the centre

The maze covers 7,000 m², within a 9,000 m² site including the car park. Its walls are 4,000 Japanese privet plants, and the centre, the goal, is a square of Red Robin photinia. Along the corridors are dinosaur sculptures made by hand by Joaquín Bosch, the owner. For the little ones there is a separate children's maze, made of germander.

Tickets

General, from age 14 up, costs €7.50; children's, ages 4 to 14, €4, and under-4s do not pay. Groups of six adults or more pay €6 per person and people with disabilities €3, only at the ticket office and with proof. The ticket is valid all day, from opening to closing, and the ticket office sells until an hour before closing. Tickets bought online are not refundable.

The calendar and hours are not in text on the website: the ticketing system shows the open days, and in November 2026 it had no dates on sale. Before going, call 964 480 377 or 684 480 640, or write to [email protected].

Getting there and what is there

It is at the Peñisverd Garden Center, on the N-340, kilometre 1038. There is no public transport: you go by car or taxi. It has more than 50 parking spaces, toilets, including adapted ones, and a small bar with drinks and something to nibble. Dogs do not enter the maze, but can be on a lead in the rest of the site. Schools and associations book by phone or on the website.

In your day in Peñíscola

It works well in mid-afternoon, when the sun is fierce on the beach or after the Papa Luna castle. In the morning, the Pirate Trail through the old town; in the afternoon, the maze. For sleeping with children, the Gran Hotel Peñíscola has a kids' club.
