English term or phrase: a maze farm
A "labyrinth farm" or a "maze farm" is a place entertaining tourists with labyrinths that have walls made out of bushes. A labyrinth is a place where you cannot get lost. There's one way in and one way out. In a maze, however, you can be sure you'll get lost. It's just like the game with the mouse trying to find the cheese.

un labirint, la ferma
Explanation:
In romana, ca si in franceza, "maze" si "labyrinth" sunt traduse prin "labirint" (respectiv "labyrinthe"). Nu se face nici o deosebire lingvistica intre labirinturile in care te poti pierde si cele in care nu te poti pierde, e vorba doar de un nivel de dificultate tehnica sau strategica.

As adauga, "la ferma" pentru preciza cadrul respectiv (ar fi putut fi "la balci" sau "la parcul de atractii")

In Romania, pentru ca acest tip de atractie nu exista inca, termenul in sine nu s-a statornicit, deci cred ca este loc pentru a-l propune...

disagree  Anca Nitu: 1. nu e natural - e facut de mana omului - verificati in referinte 2. animalele nu fac parte din labirint , garantat!
18 mins
  -> prin natural am vrut să spun că e din materiale naturale - tufişuri, spre exemplu, dar, da, ai dreptate, dă naştere la confuzii
agree  Antonia Toth: "labirint vegetal" i-a; spune eu

ferma cu/de labirint zapacit/de confuzie


Explanation:
deoarece definitia scrisa, precizeaza diferenta intre "labyrinth" si "maze", cred ca ar trebui accentua aceasta diferenta.

dupa dictionarul Oxford, - originea cuvantului sta in v.transitiv "to amaze". deci a zapaci, a produce o confuzie
