Snow King – Amazen Maze

Snow King's Amaze'n Maze is a timed outdoor labyrinth at the base of Snow King Mountain in Jackson, with a passport-style checkpoint system. Find four checkpoints that spell out "MAZE", clock in at the finish, and try to beat your kids' time. It is a family attraction, low-stakes and walk-up; the right fit is anyone wanting a 30 to 45 minute outdoor activity downtown that does not require gear, lift tickets, or experience. The wrong fit is anyone looking for a half-day adventure or a serious athletic challenge; this is a fill-an-hour piece, not a centerpiece.

How it works

Walk in, get your passport card, find the four lettered checkpoints anywhere in the maze, then stamp out at the finish for your time. The course is built for repeat play; most groups try a second run to beat their first time. It pairs naturally with other Snow King summer activities (Cowboy Coaster, Alpine Slide, mini golf, scenic chairlift) into a half- or full-day at the base.

Discover Key Activities & Entertainment at Snow King – Amazen Maze

Summer-only. Daily during the season, typically 10 AM into the evening (8 to 9 PM in peak summer). Mid-morning and late afternoon are the calmer windows; mid-afternoon brings the heaviest foot traffic, especially on weekends and during the Old West Days and Fourth of July periods. The maze sits in the open sun; bring water and a hat, and reconsider the noon-to-two window on the hottest days.

Pricing and combo passes

Single tickets run around $13. Snow King sells combo passes that bundle Amaze'n Maze with the Cowboy Coaster, Alpine Slide, mini golf, scenic chairlift, and other base-area activities. If you plan to do more than two activities, the combo pass nearly always pays for itself. Buy at the base ticket office or online before you arrive to skip the line.

Honest tradeoffs

Two honest tradeoffs. First, this is a 30- to 45-minute activity, not a destination. If you build a day around the maze alone, you will be done quickly; pair it with other Snow King activities. Second, weather matters; rain and lightning shut the maze down (it is outdoor and tall-walled). Have a flexible plan if the forecast looks unstable.

Before you go

If you are doing the Snow King base for a family afternoon, the typical loop is: scenic chairlift to the summit (views, easy walk down or ride down), Cowboy Coaster on the descent, then Amaze'n Maze at the base while one parent gets the kids ice cream. Mini golf and the Alpine Slide can absorb additional time if you want to make a longer day of it. Combo passes pay off in this scenario.

Final take

Worth a stop if you are already at the Snow King base or building a Snow King-focused day. Not worth a special trip on its own; the maze earns its place as part of a multi-activity afternoon, not as a standalone draw.
