This is the 2nd year we went and 2023 was by FAR better. Granted they did add some new scenes, but the scenes from last year were exactly the same! Ac... tors were in the same spots except the teddy bear. We knew what to expect at all times. They were lacking at least 10+ actors and many spots along the trail felt like we were just taking a leisurely walk thru the woods. As I said we still had a good time, but we're very disappointed. Debating if it's worth it to come back next year.Read More

Change stuff up. Pay the actors so that their is enough every night. Make a few more dates available, including Halloween and the weekend after.

This was the best Haunted attraction I have been too! We did another local haunt about 30 miles from here and our 9/10/12 year olds said this was by f... ar the best! The adults agree! The wait was long, weather was nice, price is good and worth the wait! While waiting they had people in costumes creeping around which added to the excitmenent! They also had a food truck with hot chocolate, food, cider. Their costumes and the set up is absolutely on point, this is a must, we will be back every year!Read More
