NZ day 11 - Puzzling world and the best business idea ever

Today the boys took on Puzzling World while SJ was nursing her toasty wing. The brochures said to plan a 30-90 minute visit, however, I felt like we would be able to make most of a day of it.  
The boys started out with some silliness on trying to support the leaning tower statue on the front lawn. 
 Then we headed for the maze. Big C opted for the traditional route whilst Monkey and I wanted to do the difficult way.

 Big C rather quickly figured out some of the ins and outs - he has the directional awareness in the family - and was off to offer assistance to the tour bus full of uni students that showed up shortly after us.

 Monkey and I got separated for awhile...


 But eventually met up...
 It was full on! We literally had to cover every inch of the track and covered more than 3k by the time we were done. (We may have been closer to 4 with so much backtracking!)
After a quick lunch at the community barbecue ( we picked up the BEST lamb sausages) - we headed to the illusion half of the property. 

 The boys favourite was in the tilted house. Imagine the crazy kitchen on steroids.
There was the chair that went uphill...

 The hypnotizing wall
 The Einstein faces that followed you around the room...
...even wacky toilets....

 ...the Ames room
 And Monkey leaning against the 3D cubes


Then it was time for daddy to pick a place to go.
Like the best place ever!
 The boys loved the museum aspect of things

While I made some time to tour the brewery and then sample two of their IPAs and a lovely coffee porter.
Men...we need to bring this business model to our home town.
We'd be printing money and enjoying every second of it!
