The most useful resources about labyrinths are on the internet. Most labyrinth web sites give lists of other good sites. So, it’s like a treasure hunt. You never know what you might find. This information is constantly changing. Here are a few recommended sites:
The Labyrinth Locator
The Worldwide Labyrinth Locator is the best way to
find locations of labyrinths and information about these
labyrinths. The Worldwide Labyrinth Locator is a joint project
between Veriditas and The Labyrinth Society. Listings include: type of
labyrinth, when it’s available, and a person you can contact via e-mail
or phone. There are now almost 2,000 entries in the Labyrinth
Locator, and it’s growing every day. Please note that many owners of
private labyrinths welcome guests, but they like you to phone first and
say when you’re coming.

The Labyrinth Society
This is one of two main labyrinth organizations in
the world. This web site contains a wealth of information including
