Largest evergreen hedge maze in the continental U.S. coming to Mattituck this fall
There’s a new maze in town—and it’s much more than just another seasonal attraction. This fall, Shamrock Christmas Tree Farm (20685 Main Road, Mattituck, 631-298-4619) will unveil what is believed to be the largest evergreen hedge maze in the continental United States.
The 2.3-acre maze is made entirely of arborvitae hedges and has been years in the making. The project began in 2018 when the land was cleared; the hedges were planted the following year.
“I wanted to do something different—not something cookie-cutter like everyone else,” says Jonathan Shipman, whose family has operated a tree business since the mid-1970s and established the Christmas tree farm in 1989.
Designed with accessibility in mind, the maze features pathways wide enough for golf carts. At its center is a spacious gathering area complete with a large brick fireplace and enough room to host special events.
The maze is scheduled to open on September 26. Visitors will receive a scavenger hunt checklist and can search for hidden items placed throughout the maze’s dead ends. Admission pricing has not yet been determined.
