A student-made, two-story marble maze was unveiled at the Marble Falls Visitor Center on May 19, adding an interactive feature to the city’s tourism tower at 100 Avenue G.
City staff collaborated with local business partners and three Marble Falls High School engineering students –Nicolas Smith, Cameron Plumlee, and Landon Griffith– to bring the maze to life. It features a motorized lift that carries marbles to the top of a long, winding system of chutes, rails, funnels, and more that send the spheres on a twisting journey through the visitor center.
“The Marble Maze is a perfect example of what makes Marble Falls special,” said Russell Sander, Assistant City Manager for the City of Marble Falls, in a media release. “This project brought together students, educators, local businesses, City staff, and volunteers to create something truly unique. It highlights the creativity, collaboration, and community spirit that define Marble Falls and gives our visitors a memorable experience they won’t find anywhere else.”

The maze was designed and assembled by the three engineering students under the guidance of MFHS teacher Lindsey Todesco. The materials for the project were donated by local business Laser Ranch.
The maze is open to the public and can be used during the visitor center’s regular business hours.
The center is open 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. on Saturday. The center is closed on Sunday.
