The museum I worked at as a graduate student had a maze installed for
several months about 3 years ago.  We changed the configuration every few
weeks.  Kids and adults are still asking when we are going to have it back.
Especially around Halloween.  We decorated with cobwebs, blacklights and
costumed manequins. BIG Hit!
