The Mirror Maze is located under the dome with plants branching across the top of the maze. The maze makes use of mirrors and various reflections.

Foggy Bowls
The Foggy Bowls are four concave bowls with depths of between 30cm and 65cm, people to jump in while mist is released to create an illusion of playing among clouds
