5 Points Haunted House Review (2026)

GPS directions will bring you to the correct address with plenty of free parking nearby. Their website is easy to navigate and allows you to acquire tickets ahead of time. The ticket booth is up front, and the main entrance is easily found between the two big Skelly Boys standing by the main line entrance. Marked staff stand nearby to guide guests to designated lines and can help answer any questions.

Queue line actors work their way around the crowd and use off-the-cuff dialogue to interact with guests. Music plays, and a makeshift elevated stage is used by actors, scoping out who to terrorize next.

We saw the crowd and decided to grab a bite from the taco truck; we didn’t even get our order, and the line had suddenly disappeared. Talk about efficiency in line control!

The crowd lines up before the entrance and gathers below a makeshift stage with professional lights set up. The actors eagerly interact and joke around with music playing in the background. We entered a space covered with stone; it felt dark and cold. The stone deafened the sounds from the outside, which was a perfect time to be given the house rules. Off we were sent up the winding stairs to our adventure.

While there wasn’t a set theme, there were sections of rather troubling and disturbing themes. Oversized props extended and created a sense of vulnerability while the actors used those moments to initiate effective scares.

Talk about immersion! In the church scene, we walked into an active sermon with a spotlight on the priestess upfront. The nuns balanced on the pews and contorted their bodies, like a cat that has not been fed for minutes. The priestess continues with the chants, levitating as they finish off by screaming the last words. One of the nuns then gives us the body of Christ, symbolized by a piece of cracker, and then sends us off on our way.

Low sounds were efficiently placed between transitions, which helps with sound bleeding. In a particular hall, the music playing is like soft elevator music. The telephone ring gets louder as we approach it, only to be fooled into a wall opening and never to see the phone again. The new séance room is hauntingly beautiful, with the dim light of the candles creating the ambiance for the long-lost lovers to unite for one last time. Love knows no boundaries, especially from different realms.

The gift shop is in the basement, filled with branded merchandise and accessories for the horror enthusiast. Indoor bathrooms are also accessible at this point. Outside, there is a taco truck with a variety of food options and tasty drinks as well! The fire pit with cozy seats is a sure reason to want to stay and enjoy a nice October night.

5 Points has plenty of great effects throughout the attraction to complement such creative scenes. Many scenes have Fog layered in various areas to help provide a great ambiance. One of the first rooms is layered with thick fog and replicates a swampy front yard. It works well while the actor is stating something is inside the yard we are standing in, giving us plenty of motivation to move asap! There are a few giant props throughout the attraction that seem much larger than the room they reside in.

The outside of the attraction has a butcher-like area with chainsaws geared up for action. This leads into a creative yard area with a recently added Kong-like creature lurking about. Once inside the second portion of the haunt, there are several lab scenes with plenty of creatures and large spiders afoot. One great gimmick has guests choosing their pathway through a sewer-like scene, which could result in crawling or bending awkwardly to get through. What lies on the other side makes it difficult to walk through. One of the latest scenes is a séance room. The entrance is candle-lit and provides an ominous feeling throughout the area. We are excited to see what 5 Points has in store next!

5 Points has plenty of characters throughout the attraction, both inside and out. Queue actors vary, but all have a level of uniqueness to the outside, creating an entertaining queue. One actor wields a mechanism tube that produces a very loud pop and startles the entire crowd. One actor has a pathway laid out to be able to safely scale the entrance of the attraction; therefore, they have a vantage point of the entire queue.

Inside the attraction, the actors were very hyped, even as we were the last group to go in. I can only imagine the level of energy they had throughout the night. Actors would pop out from various points throughout for scares. The laboratory area had some of the most intense actors throughout the attraction. There was zero indication that they were going to let up, no matter how long we were there. The same can be said for the church scene. The Nuns were crawling and very active. It was unnerving how some of them moved throughout the scene. One of the most entertaining actors was this musician performer who would play various instruments at once and ask for some change for the performance. They were very zoned into their character and performed well. We must say, we were very impressed with the various actors inside the attraction. They are very solid performers and clearly enjoy their positions.

5 Points provides many different scares throughout its attraction. There are plenty of pop-out scares throughout the attraction which are very well timed and sudden. The actors bring plenty of scares as well. The church scene is incredibly well done, with the nun characters being a strong force to come across. They can contort themselves and crawl in unusual positions, making the whole experience scary. Many of the props are very large and are used in impressive ways. The bedroom scene, for example, holds a giant hand that reaches over a quarter of the room. Further inside the attraction, there is a rather gross bathroom scene which holds some creative scares and positions for the actor inside.

The outside area has the classic chainsaw chaser as well as other props that jump out and provide scares. Once in the basement, the actors provide some heavy scares in a deranged fashion. They are disorienting throughout the scene and create an intense scene. The séance room provides an atmosphere that’s captivating and hauntingly creepy. The actors playing off one another for this scene are great and subtle. It’s rather clear the team at 5 Points continues to make a name for itself with their great scenes and scares inside of the old barn.

On the night of our visit, our walkthrough took 17 minutes. Tickets start at $27 for GA, with Priority Entry at $40. While the MPD is 0.63, a bit lower than the national average, the entertainment and talent packed in this building is well worth every cent.

The gift shop is packed with merchandise of their brand along with stickers, mugs, and hats. The taco truck is also worth mentioning with their great customer service and variety of delicious food.

5 Points promotes an escape room that is available during the off-season; live actors are an option for an additional charge. This is something that caught our eye, and we will need to come back again. It’s amazing to see how far 5 Points has come so far and look forward to their development in the following years. Keep up with their social and their future updates.
