Magowan’s Infinite Mirror Maze

This place is amazing! Had a blast. I visit the bay area frequently and this is the most fun I’ve ever had in San Francisco. They even let us pick the music we wanted to hear while walking through the maze. Only 5 bucks too! Soooo awesome!

Cool experience. Definitely different and worth the $ 5 admission Easily. Fun to mess with people but it did get a little crowded and its a little smaller then i had hoped. Only negatives though. Good spot to spend some time finding yourself… There, i mean there, or over there.

Found a great deal on Groupon for $ 5 tickets, so we decided to try out this place. It got kinda wild at the end when people got too hyper and decided to bump into other people.
Mirror mirror on the wall, if there is no reflection then it’s not a mirror– period! You can walk through it.
It’s a small maze and cool place to take multiple picture of yourself and tell everyone you found your lost twins.
(The stairs that lead-​up to the upper level Mirror Maze somehow make the sound of a piano note when you step on the stairs– Pretty cool!!)

yo! this maze is fire! it is worth $ 50 but is only $ 5.
all day entrance!
much fun so wow!
close to bread bowls.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would visit again. it will blow your mind to pieces.

$ 5 per person, if you have groupon it’s even cheaper.
Great for the kids and adults alike. It’s a small maze but it’s fun going through it over and over again.
Surely a great stop when visiting Fisherman’s Wharf.

Really fun maze. Only $ 5 per person and they provide you with gloves so you’re not sharing germs if you needed to feel the mirrors to find your way. I was able to go in with my stroller which was a plus for me. So mom and pops with Littles you can have fun too. As you walk through the maze the lighting changes colors which makes it trippy and awesome! It only took 5 minutes to find our way through but the crowd we went in with were cool and we were able to take some awesome pictures. I would definitely go again and would recommend it to everyone else as well (^_​^)

Fun for $ 5 — nothing more than that. It’s definitely meant more for kids, but is pretty entertaining if you come by after having a couple drinks.
Cashier was very friendly and accommodating — he gives you gloves to wear through the maze so you don’t smudge the mirrors. This is also a great way to keep your hands clean as you walk (or stumble) through.
It’s a short maze, so your $ 5 will be done within 5 – 10 minutes. You can walk through as many times as you want — but once was enough for us. We had a good time, but I don’t think we would do it again.

Completely worth the $ 5 entrance fee. The friendly staff will give you plastic gloves so you do not smudge the mirrors. The maze is clean, well kept, and DIFFICULT!
We got through the maze in about 7 – 10 minutes. Your admission grants you unlimited access.

WOOOO!
Whooooaaa…
omg.
Is that an actual person or just a reflection?
Guys, I’m nauseous.
Someone please tell me which way to go.
Follow my voice!
Okay I’m completely lost.
Laughing hysterically.
Possibly crying.
I don’t even know who I am anymore.
Is this real life?
Just some of the thoughts and statements swirling about as we ourselves swirled through this awesome mirror maze. SO FUN. It’s only $ 5 per person, a pretty simple and short attraction, but it makes for a seriously good time — especially if you’re with a group of hilarious, smart, weirdo-​friends (in the best way) and you dance-​party throughout your journey. I didn’t even want to find the exit, it was so fun to run around and bump into mirrored walls and try to guess which of the 8 images of your friend surrounding you is your REAL human friend and not your mirror-​universe-​reflection friend.
I’m pretty sure the un-​happy dude running the maze was so un-​happy because we showed up right at closing time, but come on! It only takes like 5ish minutes to make it through. You wear gloves so you don’t get your nasty fingerprints all over the place, and you get to choose the kind of music you want for your adventure.
Destiny’s Child.
So we danced and laughed and had the best time in this neon/​blacklight-​lit mirror maze. Totally recommend.

Never knew this place was here. Of all the times I’ve visited the pier and had donuts, eaten at bubbas or watched the Dolphins I’ve never been to the maze. Am I glad to have found it.
Myself (27) bf (27) bro (23) we actually enjoyed it. It was fun going in and figuring it out. The guy that was working was awesome giving us the challenge of finding our way backwards. We went through about 3x before we had enough but we were still excited to visit again.
I believe it was $ 5 a person but you can visit as much as you would like for that day.
Children 5 and up would have a blast just make sure to put your gloves on before entering

Update to my previous review — I was not only able to finally experience this amazing attraction, but the manager went over the top and comped me for the times that I had come during normal business hours only to find it closed. Awesome customer service!
But for the actual maze itself. This place is so unbelievably cool! Luckily we arrived when there were only a few people inside so it was tons of fun navigating our way through. So much fun in fact, that we ended up coming back again later that day to go through again. Your pass includes all-​day reentry and you are allowed to do the maze backwards. I found it pretty challenging and many times ended up completely turned around.
Also, the music is great! Some of my favorite songs were played while I worked my way through the maze, definitely adding to my experience.
Having lived here a few years, I’m surprised none of my friends had heard of this treasure. I’m assuming the tourist trap that is Pier 39 may be a deterrent, however this is a hidden treasure among the crowds found on the lower level.
Great attraction for all ages. I will definitely be back!

Big thanks to the very nice guy who let us come in for a whirlwind run around this place seconds before closing time! Despite confirming their hours earlier in the day, apparently we were misinformed and arrived 5 minutes before closing! The guy who was working wasn’t keen to let our bright eyed gaggle of CMs in but he was very accommodating and even let us put our own music on (he insisted!) as we giggled our way through the maze!
We put on plastic gloves (hello sweaty hands!) so we didn’t get sticky paw prints all over the mirrors, and attempted to find our way through. It’s actually very surprising how tricky it is! You’d think you’d be able to easily work it out — just don’t walk into your own face — yet somehow that isn’t as easy as it sounds! We got through pretty fast, then the owner (who was, I think, enjoying himself by this point) asked if we wanted to see how quickly he could get through the maze — um, yes please! So a few of us followed him as he barrels his way through — I managed to keep up but hot damn do you ever have to trust the leader in that situation! I did not walk into my own face, so I call that a success!
This was a totally fun team activity, and I’m so glad we got to play! Thanks Tiffany N. for organizing!

You would imagine that a room full of mirrors and mazes would be something that could haunt your dreams forever but we had nothing but fun in this crazy mixed up mirror maze.
We wandered around, hitting dead ends, surprising each other… Both the real each other and the mirror each other, dancing to Beyonce and having a shrieking good time. You have no idea whether you’re coming or going and whether other people are coming or going and it’s kind of awesome and also completely bizarre.
Its like nothing I’ve ever done before and it beats the pants off of any kind of Carnival funhouse experience.

I had no idea what this place was all about. But I am glad I gave it a chance, because this maze rocks (even more so if you have a drink or two beforehand)! Basically you pay an easy five bucks to enter and you go through a maze full of mirrors and endless walls. Sounds very simple, but it’s actually very confusing and a pretty hilarious fun time. Best of all, if it’s slow, the operator will let you select whatever song you want to hear to go through. Our group bumped Destiny’s Child and laughed the entire time as we bumped into the mirrored walls.
Very touristy, but very fun! My only wish is that the maze could have been longer– it’s super short.

This was our first time (thank you Groupon) and it was a fun time! I really thought we were going to be the couple that failed and needed help to get out. But not so!
You’ll be given a pair of plastic food service gloves to put on so that you don’t get finger prints on the mirrors. You will probably notice that as you walk around, you need your hands to help guide you through the maze. Decision making and winding up in dead ends are all a part of the fun. Take a bunch of friends or just your most favorite person to hang out with. It’s a quick, fun time.

For just $ 5, you’ll be taken on one of the strongest trips in your life. that is, if you don’t already take drugs! Haha
The mirror maze is relatively short– you can finish and find the exit in 3 – 5 minutes. Heck, they even ask you for a song you want to play during your game. I think that’s supposed to be your timer. There is no limit to how long you stay in there, but my guests and I tried to make the most of it and were in there for about 20 minutes (until the strobe lights made us surrender).
I had a blast trying to distinguish between mirror and reality. It’s fun with a large group because you guys can play tricks on each other. If it wasn’t in one of the hardest locations to find parking at (Pier 39), I would probably try to come here often.

What is this random place that I got dragged to that happens to have amazing Unilocal reviews? A dungy looking storefront at Pier 39, a concept that seems carnivalesque and then… so much fun?!
After having encountered terrible customer service at GoCar, I was sort of over tourist traps. My significant other saw this random sign and was like, «Oh we’re going to that,» which to me was the most random choice ever, because it looked like the kind of place you overpay for at the Ex that’s filled with screaming kids. However, I warmed up a bit because the dude selling tickets was totally friendly — yo, Mirror Maze, you should up this guy’s pay because he’s the coolest.
They give you plastic gloves so you don’t get fingerprints on the mirrors — so smart, because that would totally ruin the illusion of endless hallways.
I only had one minor panic attack where I was like, WE ARE NEVER GETTING OUT WE ARE GOING TO DIE HERE, but otherwise this place was so much fun! After getting through it (and taking really cool pics, no need for filters with the amazing lighting in there), the cool dude was like, «Try it backwards!» which was way friendly than simply saying, bye. So we got even a bit more fun. Well worth $ 5, and everyone inside was an adult!

If you have $ 5 and even 5 minutes of free time it would be a shame to not spend it at Magowan’s. I went here with a group of ten other people and even though we got there right at closing time and the man there was not really interested in letting us in, he did and for that I’m forever grateful. Because he gave us the instructions and turned up the Beyonce while we put on our plastic gloves (to keep the mirrors from getting finger printed up) and danced our way through this small, but 100% fantastic labyrinth, laughing pretty much the entire time.
We ran into each other, ourselves, and mirrors to the side. We couldn’t tell left from right or who was actually in front of us. Or were they behind us or to the side? And why are there five of you?! It was quite a mind melt in the very best of ways. And it took just the length of one Beyonce song for even the most amateur maze runners of us to get through.
My word of advice would be to go at least 30 minutes before closing to give yourself ample to to enjoy Magowan’s. It’s well worth it.

I got a Groupon for 4 people for $ 10! What a steal =] the usual price is $ 5 a person too. I came here on a Sunday evening in November and Pier 39 has never been so packed!!! You can find the Mirror Maze in the back of Pier 39 up the piano stairs and make an immediate left!
Before you can start the maze, you have to wear some gloves so your finger prints don’t get on the mirrors — so it makes it pretty tricky! It’s pretty difficult at first if you don’t know the trick to mirrors… Obviously if you see your reflection, there’s a mirror. I would highly recommend going through the maze with the hands behind your back. It makes it challenging in a good way!
The cashier people are super nice and welcoming too. Shout out to the girl that played the xx during our way through the mirror maze! Also pretty cool but they allow you to get s stamp so you can have unlimited retry until they close :)

Bored and have $ 5? This spot will be sure to entertain!
The mirror maze is certainly fun and good for some laughs. Make it a game and time you and your friends to see who can do it fastest!
ALSO this maze is much harder when you go in alone without anyone else.
