Treedines Haunted Farm Review (2017)

A small sign at the street and larger signs inside helped guide us in the right direction. Everything was clearly marked and the staff pointed out where we needed to go next when needed. The parking lot attendant was friendly and happy to help us. This attraction is cash only so be prepared for that.

Treedine’s is spread across the land of a working farm. The first half of the haunt – the Forest – is a longer walking trail that loops and climbs and twists through farm, forest, and field.

Footing can be a bit treacherous, but there is a guide with a flashlight to help you on your way. They can light the trail and will point out obstacles in your path – wear comfortable clothing, boots or shoes meant for walking, and be prepared to immerse yourself in the scenes from your favorite movies as you visit places like Camp Crystal Lake.

When it comes to queue entertainment they didn’t have much during our wait as we waited in line for 90 minutes and saw one queue line actor.

The wait for each of the haunts at Treedines goes a bit better if you’ve got friends to hang out with. This is something of a theatrical, old-school haunt so it can take a bit of time to get through – which also means that wait times can stretch out if you’re not there early.

Music, pop and rock, courtesy of a local radio station plays out over the waiting and concessions area. Occasionally a chainsaw roar would seep out as well.

Outside Midnight Hill we got to encounter a little girl – perhaps a future inhabitant of Treedine’s Haunted Farm – who was not only adorable but was adorably creepy as well.

Treedine’s doesn’t have the same big budget special effects that some haunts possess, but what it does have are some great scenery and set pieces that you move around and through. These scenes put you in the middle of the action – whether it’s mounting an old wooden bridge, crossing a moonlit field, passing by a shack in a swamp, or crossing the lake at Camp Crystal Lake – at Treedine’s you’ll find yourself a part of the action with a level of immersion that you rarely find elsewhere.

The creepy witch lights in the cemetery were a great addition this year.

Treedine’s is a classic haunt that’s been in the area for such a long time that folks running nearby haunts can all remember going through Treedine’s when they were younger. Though Treedine’s has changed things up here and there over the years and the cast has grown and changed, all of that experience and care has been poured back into the haunt.

It took us 33 minutes to go through both haunts. A combo ticket for both attractions can be purchased for $20.00 which is the best deal putting their MPD (minutes of entertainment received per dollar spent) at 1.65 which is above the average of 1.5 seen most often.

We heartily recommend paying a visit to Treedine’s; stop in early to avoid the lines!
