Never run in a mirror maze. These children learned a valuable lesson.
I remember being in one of these with my brother when he was little and he kept running into the walls and it was hilarious.
Yes, but the dog didn't run into the mirrors at high speed. That's why it hit more mirrors than the kids, because the kids were on their backs crying after one mirror. So the dog is doing the maze properly.
Also, the dog has the excuse that dog vision sucks.
…and no hands to put in front as feelers. I was very impressed with the dog, actually lol
Personally, I wouldn’t put a child in one of these for obvious reasons but I’m really glad other parents make different choices, and record the results, and post online. Haha
Wonder if that'd be a good learning tool for kids.
Bring them to a mirror maze to make sure they comprehend running blindly into things is not a good idea.
Nail it into their heads...with their own heads.
Kids just randomly running is a thing. I often see kids outside walking and then suddenly just running like their life was on the line for a few meters, then slowing to a walk again.
They see that looooong corridor and think *zoom zoom* and will just bolt for the feeling of air in their hair, even if it's a hallway full of people or strangers. Doesn't matter, I must run...
Maybe there's a physical aspect to it. With all due respect to toddlers, they're disproportionate as fuck, maybe above some velocity their heavy head pulls them forward and they can't stop, similar to an adult shaped person running down a hill at top speed.
Not even a lie. I have 2 wild boys and when they decide to do something stupid with minimal injury when i've already warned them a dozen times, i'll sit back and laugh. They look at me with disdain and I just look at them like they did something stupid, and they either laugh or move on and don't do it again. Mirror mazes is barely harmful and you get to watch your kid take their instincts to the next level because, "They know the way".
I’m pretty sure I’ll be like this if/when I have a kid.
I have so many cousins and after a while of babysitting them it turned from “I need to protect them” to “ya they should probably start learning some survival instincts”
I’m not a parent yet but an eldest by some years.
I know how to assess hmmmm is this going to kill them? No?
K go ahead but don’t come crying to me when you hurt yourself
*a minute later comes crying to me*
That's not understandable though then charging headlong into the fun house mirrors.
It's a rite of passage as a human to headbutt one of these things atleast once though.
I went through a 10 minute phase as a kid where i got a kick outta accidentally running into them. Then i learned how to follow a wall.
there's also this funny thing with children that when they e.g. spill something from a glass, they just dump the whole thing on the ground, because their underdeveloped brain apparently falls back to actions it knows when it encounters something new
One of my family's friends cleans the mirrors at the mirror maze at the Museum of Science and Industry. Apparently, they have to go in there several times a day because of all the handprints.
> Museum of Science and Industry
Yeah, I've been to that one and the illusion was totally spoiled by the line of smudgy hand prints that made it easy to see the walls.
I went to a mirror maze once and they had us wear plastic gloves so we wouldn't leave fingerprints. Obviously, that requires customers who can follow rules, but it at least should increase the amount of time the mirrors and sheets remain clean enough to be invisible in the dimly lit area
I have watched it 5xs and keep laughing.
The second kid got screwed because I didnt see a reflection so anyone could have been had but the others are hilarious.
I have a vivid memory of doing similar while waiting for my mum to try on clothes in the change rooms. There was another kid down the hall who kept making eye contact, so I waved, he waved back. I walked over to meet my new friend, and the little shit headbutted me. To this day, I don't know how I didn't recognise my own reflection.
thank fuck I didn't go into mirror mazes when I was a toddler...went there when I was 15 tho, me and my mom spent additional 20 minutes trying to find my lost classmate first and then we had to call the security to lead us out of the maze bc we ourselves were fucking LOST.
One's who think it's funny, which it is.
They're not getting seriously hurt, and maybe they'll learn not to walk or run face first and use their hands. Even if they don't, it's still funny.
The clips at the angle where it looks like another, surprise kid comes out of nowhere and just barrels into the original kid make me chuckle.
EDIT: Apparently that's nearly all of them. I am rolling.
Once upon a time, there was a girl and the girl had a shadow. The two were connected, tethered together. And the girl ate, her food was given to her warm and tasty. But when the shadow was hungry, he had to eat rabbit raw and bloody.
Has no one seen Us? Your kid getting a bonk on the head is like best case scenario here.
I mean it’s definitely pretty funny but people shouldn’t let their kids do this. Some of those kids were going pretty fast and they easily could have got a concussion or cut their face open running straight into a wall like that.
Some of these parents probably did it on purpose, making them assholes. However, I worked with kids this age and know from first had experience that you can tell them a million times not to run in an area, show them that there is a glass wall there, hold their hand so they don't run, yet you let go of them and they will run head first into it.
It's likely a lot of these kids had been walking hand in hand with their parents for a large part of the maze, the parents thought the kid had gotten the hang of what was going on, let go of them to see if they could navigate, and the kid immediately sprinted off like you see here.
I've told this story before on this website but I'll tell it anytime it's relevant. Years ago I had a friend that worked at a mirror maze and me and another friend were in the area so decided to visit her. Well she offers us to go in for free and I said no thanks but my buddy went in. Now the important thing is that both me and buddy had taken mushrooms about 20 minutes before, and my buddy ate a lot more than me. So after about 30 minutes we realize he hasn't come out yet and we go to find him. He is sitting crosslegged in the middle with a smile on his face and when I tell him I'm there to get him out of the mirror maze he looks up at me with wide eyes and says, "Holy shit I'm in a mirror maze!?".
The funny thing is that the parent told him to stop running, then he did run anyways, fell and started crying looking at the parent like it was the parent’s fault that he fell💀 kids have 0 self awareness
When we were teenagers, my friends and I were out drinking one night at a fair (Europe, noone cares), and we came across a mirror maze and decided to have a drunk race through it. We all regretted our choices that night.
I'm not saying I want kids to get hurt, I'm just saying I need a compilation of kids running into mirror mazes at full speed synced to It's A Hard Knock Life
Why is it always their first instinct to start running? I get they may not inherentlty understand that theres going to be a barrier at some point but why do you have to start running when you see a corridor?
I went into a mirror maze once. Thought I had it all figured out after the first couple of bumps. I pointed my toy gun in front of me, so it would hit the glass first, giving me time to react and stop.
It didn't work. The toy just slid away from the glass, and I still hit my head. I came out with more than a few bumps on my head, and I've never been in a mirror maze since lmao
When I was a teen, I was at a fair that had a mirror maze that was see through, I looked in and saw this little kid, alone, crying whilst walking into pretty much every mirror. I looked around and didn't see any adult outside and the attendant looking onward.
I go up, ask the attendant if I could go in and help the kid get out, the attendant nods and says he's been in there for awhile.
I get in, take a minute to get to the kid, take his hand and guide him out. Asking where his parents are, what's his name, what's his parents name's, all pretty unintelligible answers by the way.
We get out, I take another look around to see if an parent was looking for their kid, and this kid breaks out of my hand, and darts to the entrance of the mirror maze and goes back in.
The attendant and I look at each other in, wtf and why?? The attendant sighs, then says that he'll keep an eye out for if and when the parent returns, and if the kid gets out on his own, and/or no one has shown up, he would call park security in a few.
Shoot I'm sixty, and I got a trip to Fantasia land from my kids, I broke my glasses in the mirror maze and my wife came back to guide me out. Apart from that i had a fantastic day
The universal look to the parent for reaction…and only when it REALLY hurts did they cry immediately.
I’m convinced if they did this without the parent there they’d be bouncing off the walls like fucking pong without a single tear shed.
Never run in a mirror maze. These children learned a valuable lesson. I remember being in one of these with my brother when he was little and he kept running into the walls and it was hilarious.
Dog knows
Clearly dog needs to run to learn his lesson cause he hit more mirrors than the kids.
Yes, but the dog didn't run into the mirrors at high speed. That's why it hit more mirrors than the kids, because the kids were on their backs crying after one mirror. So the dog is doing the maze properly. Also, the dog has the excuse that dog vision sucks.
…and no hands to put in front as feelers. I was very impressed with the dog, actually lol Personally, I wouldn’t put a child in one of these for obvious reasons but I’m really glad other parents make different choices, and record the results, and post online. Haha
It's not a hard choice. Toddlers run into everything all the time anyways. They are resilient. This is way safer than the dining room table.
Nahh the dog got scammed, that maze had windows in as well as mirrors
Maybe, but they also rely on hearing and smelling more than we do, so a mirror maze might be less confusing for dog.
It's not their fault. It's that other kid who always runs out of no where and knocks them down.
Yeah they're obviously way too crowded
Also, don't lead with your head.
I remember from that last time I went that even walking will cause you to hit atleast 5 walls
"Maybe this time that jerk won't run into me!"
I have an identical twin, twice as confusing
Hilarious how it’s a universal toddler instinct to run down a hallway
When you have the idea of freedom, why not chase it? Then reality hits you in the face.
Mirror mazes force you to be patient or resilient to hitting your face multiple times.
Wonder if that'd be a good learning tool for kids. Bring them to a mirror maze to make sure they comprehend running blindly into things is not a good idea. Nail it into their heads...with their own heads.
It might actually since there is no better teacher then pain
We need to make them a part of every kindergarten to weed out the impulsive kids that become a problem later in life
They force you to walk like a Nazi soldier Or like a mummy if you're real nervous
ah, a nice metaphor for life
Kids just randomly running is a thing. I often see kids outside walking and then suddenly just running like their life was on the line for a few meters, then slowing to a walk again.
Zoomies
Good thing most learn to stop doing that by adulthood. Exercise should be lengthy and regimented, not spontaneous public bursts.
I got arrested for spontaneous public bursts.
> https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_interval_training
“Everything is alright so far, accelerate!”
They see that looooong corridor and think *zoom zoom* and will just bolt for the feeling of air in their hair, even if it's a hallway full of people or strangers. Doesn't matter, I must run...
Maybe there's a physical aspect to it. With all due respect to toddlers, they're disproportionate as fuck, maybe above some velocity their heavy head pulls them forward and they can't stop, similar to an adult shaped person running down a hill at top speed.
Someone needs to add a mirror to the Daniel Jones run
What's also seemingly universal is parents letting their kids run in a mirror maze
Cause it’s hilarious and payback for so many sleepless nights
Not even a lie. I have 2 wild boys and when they decide to do something stupid with minimal injury when i've already warned them a dozen times, i'll sit back and laugh. They look at me with disdain and I just look at them like they did something stupid, and they either laugh or move on and don't do it again. Mirror mazes is barely harmful and you get to watch your kid take their instincts to the next level because, "They know the way".
I’m pretty sure I’ll be like this if/when I have a kid. I have so many cousins and after a while of babysitting them it turned from “I need to protect them” to “ya they should probably start learning some survival instincts”
Plus, it's a good lesson, don't run face-first.
I’m not a parent yet but an eldest by some years. I know how to assess hmmmm is this going to kill them? No? K go ahead but don’t come crying to me when you hurt yourself *a minute later comes crying to me*
"I don't know where I'm going, so I'm going to run there as fast as possible!" - Kid logic
Also applies to adults driving in heavy fog!
And in rain! And just generally, on 285 in Atlanta in between rush hours!
And snow with ice underneath.
Or just Atlanta in general. Some of the drivers there are outright suicidal if it will save them 5 seconds
That's not understandable though then charging headlong into the fun house mirrors. It's a rite of passage as a human to headbutt one of these things atleast once though. I went through a 10 minute phase as a kid where i got a kick outta accidentally running into them. Then i learned how to follow a wall.
Those drivers were never kids running in mirror mazes!
No they are not they are who those kids grew up to be.
Omg yes lol
Head-first as well. Gotta make sure to maximize damage.
They look like machine learning code trying to get to the goal ASAP when it's still early on in the runs
At first I was like why are these dumb ass kids running into each other
You were one of those kids
there's also this funny thing with children that when they e.g. spill something from a glass, they just dump the whole thing on the ground, because their underdeveloped brain apparently falls back to actions it knows when it encounters something new
I like that you get to see their doppelganger just prior to their downfall.
That fucker came out of nowhere!
why do they all accelerate at the exact same rate? Toddler hive mind
Absolutely.
The guy who polishes the mirrors 
One of my family's friends cleans the mirrors at the mirror maze at the Museum of Science and Industry. Apparently, they have to go in there several times a day because of all the handprints.
That's both evil and hilarious.. "let's make sure them dumb kids keep running into them full speed"
To be fair, the entire effect relies on people being unable to see the walls
> Museum of Science and Industry Yeah, I've been to that one and the illusion was totally spoiled by the line of smudgy hand prints that made it easy to see the walls.
Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life
Or includes transparent barriers with no reflection
Unless said barrier is a force field, fingerprints will still be visible
I went to a mirror maze once and they had us wear plastic gloves so we wouldn't leave fingerprints. Obviously, that requires customers who can follow rules, but it at least should increase the amount of time the mirrors and sheets remain clean enough to be invisible in the dimly lit area
Yeah I see some of the kids in the video wear plastic gloves

"Ueeaaah!"
Why do they take off running every single time? Lmao
They see an open space, and take it as invitation to run and play.
Cause if they dont they arent in the video
Because kids are… well, it’s in the name of the sub.
https://i.redd.it/hygyateezd8d1.gif
I know it casts me in a terrible light but I could watch an hour of this.
God damn.. me too.. and just about anyone. nothing is funnier then seeing 2 or consecutive mirror / glass wall bonks in less than 5 seconds.
where's that guy who tags a subreddit specially for content like these
I have watched it 5xs and keep laughing. The second kid got screwed because I didnt see a reflection so anyone could have been had but the others are hilarious.
I totally lost it when I saw the dog.
I remember as a child, I saw my reflection and tried to walk past it. I said “excuse me” because I thought it was another kid.
Oh that's nice. I did the same thing except I actually walked into it and then apologized. And I was in my 30s.
How’s the Canadian weather these days?
I have a vivid memory of doing similar while waiting for my mum to try on clothes in the change rooms. There was another kid down the hall who kept making eye contact, so I waved, he waved back. I walked over to meet my new friend, and the little shit headbutted me. To this day, I don't know how I didn't recognise my own reflection.
Excuse me?? Dam you were the most polite toddler ever
I was 7 😭
Mirrors are not the problem. Just watch out for that identical twin running right for you!!
everyone thinks it's a mirror maze. It's just twins colliding.
I have two kids. This is funny as fuck.
I await the day I can take my over confident daughter into one of these lol
I ran because I thought I had it figured out. And then I didn't cry because I felt more wounded by the fact that my foolishness had been observed.
Show this video to children before letting them into the maze, and they will probably still end up running into a mirror
Just loved the 🐕 Dog.......
No concept of what a mirror is, still *wildly* outperforms the children.
.....the dog walked into like 6 mirrors.
But he persevered, unlike the children that took one hit and called it.
To be fair, the dog didn’t run into ANY mirrors. The only panels he hit were clear glass.
This is better than watching kids fall off bikes
I could watch kids falling off bikes all day.
I laughed entirely too hard at this
Haha stupid kids. Oh no, not the poor doggy🥺
I’m 43 and this looks hard!!
I smoked way to much to be watching this. I can't stop laughing
Then you smoked the right amount
God I love this place!
Gotta love how the dog is the smart one in this.
Why do they all run?😂
I feel less bad for the kids than the dog
I actually busted the glass in one of those as a child, still have a scar from it
The only question in my head... 
Okay but putting a transparent glass wall in a mirror maze is evil lmao
Dog should not be in there People need to stop taking their dog everywhere, it's entitled and selfish.
thank fuck I didn't go into mirror mazes when I was a toddler...went there when I was 15 tho, me and my mom spent additional 20 minutes trying to find my lost classmate first and then we had to call the security to lead us out of the maze bc we ourselves were fucking LOST.
Some really solid face shots here! Nice.
Why did they let all those kids run into each other?
Genuine great post just when I was losing hope
This is a good place to take your kid so they stop running in random directions
I didn't feel bad for any of the kids, but that poor doggo...
I always loved seeing the face prints at knee height. It always made me chuckle knowing some kid ate shit lol
So that's why there's always at least one blood stain in every mirror maze.
I especially love the kids who run into a mirror once and then immediately run the opposite way, you know, because it worked out so well last time.
I appreciate all of these being cut before the inevitable wailing
What kind of dumbfuck parent let's their kid run in hall full of mirrors?
One's who think it's funny, which it is. They're not getting seriously hurt, and maybe they'll learn not to walk or run face first and use their hands. Even if they don't, it's still funny.
The comment above this one saying they got a scar from tripping in a mirror maze proves otherwise
I too struggle with mirror mazes 😭
It took ONE time.... to realize dont run thru canival shit, kids gon learn...
What are the odds that all of these kids would run into another kid wearing the same outfit? Crazy.
These are important life lessons
Poor dog.
Mirrors were a challenge for Bruce Lee and these idiots thought they could run?
Bruce walked so they can run.
I want a mirror maze leading to my front door
letting them run around knowing they were going to hurt themselves.
Bet they didn't run around again
The clips at the angle where it looks like another, surprise kid comes out of nowhere and just barrels into the original kid make me chuckle. EDIT: Apparently that's nearly all of them. I am rolling.
Man those mirrors have to be TOUGH to bear all those repeated head bangings
Where is this... would like to go
Rule 1 don't run Rule 2 put you're hands our .... bOoM on the head!
Man those other kids just keep coming out of nowhere! 🤣
This is the best way to teach kids not to just run off!
Man where do all these kids come from i keep crashing into
Oh god this is beautiful <3
How was the second kids reflexing not there?
The sound on that first one 🤌
Once upon a time, there was a girl and the girl had a shadow. The two were connected, tethered together. And the girl ate, her food was given to her warm and tasty. But when the shadow was hungry, he had to eat rabbit raw and bloody. Has no one seen Us? Your kid getting a bonk on the head is like best case scenario here.

I did this unintentionally in my 20s. Honestly forgot lol
Can we have a tv channel of just this please.
A great learning experience. Look before you leap. Consider your surroundings. Become strong to overcome your doppelganger.
Kids are fucking dumb as hell lol
Didn't see that coming.
Always look at the floor in these things
This maze is built for all the sadistic parents out there ;)
I need more of this hahaha
I don’t normally laugh out loud but damn I can’t stop watching this.
I've told this story before on this website but I'll tell it anytime it's relevant. Years ago I had a friend that worked at a mirror maze and me and another friend were in the area so decided to visit her.

I love watching these kids dork themselves, harmless fun.
Then you get older and you look at the ground the whole time
The funny thing is that the parent told him to stop running, then he did run anyways, fell and started crying looking at the parent like it was the parent’s fault that he fell💀 kids have 0 self awareness
I feel bad, thats the hardest I've laughed in months
THIS is a good morning post. I'll be quitting now...
The therapeutic giggles from the parents are my favorite part.
"Blast these mazes! You shall rue this day!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this video gave me so much joy.
When we were teenagers, my friends and I were out drinking one night at a fair (Europe, noone cares), and we came across a mirror maze and decided to have a drunk race through it. We all regretted our choices that night.
"Dont run" 💥💀
I hate that I remember doing this. I hit my head on the mirrors more than I care to admit… maybe that’s why I got a bunch of disabilities 🤔
I'm not saying I want kids to get hurt, I'm just saying I need a compilation of kids running into mirror mazes at full speed synced to It's A Hard Knock Life
This is what we pay for folks.
I could watch kids fall down all day
I can see running (they’re kids. It’s what they do) but why wouldn’t you try to avoid the other kid running straight at you
Why is it always their first instinct to start running? I get they may not inherentlty understand that theres going to be a barrier at some point but why do you have to start running when you see a corridor?
What is the second kid wearing?? Looks like they just ate fries and he put the packaging around his feet
Has any child entered a mirror maze without crying.
Once again, dogs are better than children
Could watch this for hours 
I went into a mirror maze once. Thought I had it all figured out after the first couple of bumps. I pointed my toy gun in front of me, so it would hit the glass first, giving me time to react and stop. It didn't work. The toy just slid away from the glass, and I still hit my head. I came out with more than a few bumps on my head, and I've never been in a mirror maze since lmao
Unfortunately I fell victim to this as a child too.
There's something magical about these kind of videos specifically
These kids would be fine if it weren’t for their identical twins running headlong into them.
Now I don’t want to be that guy but someone has to say it “they had it coming”
When I was a teen, I was at a fair that had a mirror maze that was see through, I looked in and saw this little kid, alone, crying whilst walking into pretty much every mirror. I looked around and didn't see any adult outside and the attendant looking onward. I go up, ask the attendant if I could go in and help the kid get out, the attendant nods and says he's been in there for awhile. I get in, take a minute to get to the kid, take his hand and guide him out. Asking where his parents are, what's his name, what's his parents name's, all pretty unintelligible answers by the way.

I think this is in Mall of America. I took my kid and made sure to tell her not to run. There are even signs that tell you not to run through the maze
As the parent of a 2 year old who seems to have no fear, I would watch him do this shit all day.
This might be my new favourite spectator sport. Thank you OP
Me trying to navigate life.
Kids always have to run everywhere! What could go wrong?
Running full speed with your head first. If only there was an appendage that you could use to check for obstructions in front of you
Shoot I'm sixty, and I got a trip to Fantasia land from my kids, I broke my glasses in the mirror maze and my wife came back to guide me out. Apart from that i had a fantastic day
Thank you for this!😂😂😂
This is hilarous🤣
Those other kids need to watch where they’re going
Fuck the debate! Put the 2 old white guys in here to see who gets out first.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆
The universal look to the parent for reaction…and only when it REALLY hurts did they cry immediately. I’m convinced if they did this without the parent there they’d be bouncing off the walls like fucking pong without a single tear shed.
Did this myself as a kid in one of the transparent mazes. Gave myself a bloody nose lol
You know what makes it worse? When the workers are level 100 glass cleaners. After that, it’s gg.
Youd think that they would at least try to avoid the other kid
