Took my 16 and 18 year olds and had a good time! Takes about 30-45 min depending on how fast you walk (or run lol) it was scary but doable and this is coming from a scaredy cat. Highly recommend!!!

That was amazing! My fiancé and I went, and we had so much fun! I was hesitant at first because I was scared, but I’m so glad we went. It was a great experience!

Can’t say enough good things about this haunted house!! Would give 10 stars if I could! Creative sets, dedicated scare actors…. Literally everything was fantastic! Definitely recommend going on a Sunday night - there was no line at 8:30pm and our group got to go through the haunt alone which made it even better.

Been going there for the past few years one of my favorite Halloween spots. Management and staff are extremely friendly. My daughters were a bit scared to go inside, and as soon as the management, as some of the staff noticed that they came up to us and make sure to calm the girls down and explain to them. What would happen and how fun it would be. In. Both of my daughters.ñ Couldn’t be any happier.

Co-located at Dark Hour, visit the North American Cryptid  Museum.
