The walk-through haunt is long. It took us 40 minutes to walk through the whole thing. Some of the set dressing is admirable, and the portion of the h... aunt where you walk through an old bus really stands out as deliciously creepy and atmospheric.Read More

A psychologically painful experience, and not for the reasons you'd hope. There are two attractions: a hayride and walk-through "maze&qu... ot;. Each is ticketed as a separate attraction, as per the 2025 season. The hayride was 15 minutes of looking at Home Depot animatronics and inflatables in the woods, with some plastic tarps for flavor. For the price of admission, you would hope to find more value than what you'd get walking into your local Lowe's and looking in their seasonal section for free. I'm sorry to say that the walk-through was little better. The length of the haunt, while impressive, only prolonged the slog that was walking through the so-called attraction. Jaw-dropping sets like a ramshackle bus can't save a haunt with scenes mostly composed of AI generated backgrounds on plastic banners and wooden pallets... if there was any set-dressing at all. The haunt is overwhelmingly empty, with actors and animatronics being sparse. The actors that were present were wearing Spirit Halloween fare and put forth minimal effort to scare our group. Many of the actors we came across broke character. Ultimately, the worst thing a haunt can be is boring. Walking through pallets and rusted junkyard scrap to be (occasionally) accosted by someone literally saying "boo" or just holding their arm in front of us as we walked past was, well, boring.

What a great haunt. I remember this from years ago and it has grown to an even better attraction. The Actors provided true realism to their scenes, th... e amount of stuff in this place is mind boggling and the length of the trail was long, winding and superbly laid out. The actors were of all ages adding to the creepiness of the trail. Movie scenes were true to their genre. Fright Night at its best.Read More

After paying for the 3 attractions and waiting in line for 2 hours for the first attraction it wasn't scary at all. I took my 2 nephews with me ... who are teenagers and they said it felt more like going to Disneyland compared to a haunted woods. If you like clowns you are in luck. Majority of the actors are dressed as clowns. They said there were 80 actors there and I bet 60 of them were dressed as clowns and they all broke character to talk to you instead. when we came to the next attraction the lines for regular tickets and vip were not clearly marked. People were standing in the wrong lines because you couldn't see the 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper that was hand written 'VIP' sitting on the fence while the strobe light was flashing. We were sent to the back of the opposite line for being in the wrong one and had to wait another 30 minutes for a 7 minute attraction with only 8 actors. If you are looking for a 25 minute nightly stroll in the woods with the occasional clown this is the $20 a person place for you.Read More

Suggested Improvements:
have entertainment while waiting in lines. clearly mark your lines. diversify your actors costumes and don't let them break character. just al... l the lag time of just walking when there is nothing there for minutes on end. if you don't want to do any of this, cut your pricing in half.Read More
