Reviews
Coming from someone who gets scared by their own shadow… this just wasn’t all that scary. We felt like we spent so much time walking without seeing any actors throughout the attraction. Hardly any true jump scares as the actors were just walking around. They were also so busy focusing on the “extra scare” package visitors that we walked by those interactions without getting any of the experience ourselves. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a separate trail for those patrons or have them go within a specific time frame so that everyone else is getting an adequate experience. Overall, the detail on the trial is amazing, a bit dangerous on some of the pathways that get slick when damp and could use some additional grip, but the detail is definitely noticed, just no actors there to make it scary.
Also, add some local vendors and attractions in the main area! Especially on big nights like Halloween. There are tons of spooky locals who would love that and would draw in more guests. Overall, we loved the idea and would love to see it grow!

I enjoyed the haunted house experience. I wish I would have did the combo package because I wanted to experience more. The right amount of terror and even more if you purchase the shirt. They have snacks, music, great actors, and great haunted houses!
