 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the best haunted house experiences! We had an amazing time. The sets and scenery are absolutely incredible, and the actors are fantastic! This year, I actually felt like they scared us even more than last year! 😅

Groups are limited to a maximum of 6 people, but I do think they should space them out a little more. Even walking slowly, we caught up with the group ahead of us, and once you're walking together, some scares lose their surprise because you already see the actors scaring the person in front of you.

It definitely delivers some serious scares, so I wouldn't recommend it for young children unless they really enjoy being scared. They also offer special "Chicken Nights" with no actors jumping out to scare you, which is a great option for those who prefer a less intense experience.

One thing I really appreciate: there's absolutely no physical contact allowed. The actors don't touch you, and you're not allowed to touch them either.

Definitely worth visiting! Highly recommend! 👻

We had so many laughs, scares, and exciting moments! We picked the perfect time to go! Arrived around 7:30 PM, and the lines weren’t bad at all. Only about a 30-minute wait!

There were so many cool things to see inside! The fog effects were amazing, the bridge was awesome, and that spinning room with the bridge was something else!

I wanted to take so many pictures, but at the same time, I wasn’t about to risk losing my phone!

Overall, we had such a great time, made some fun memories, and got plenty of scares! We will definitely be doing this again!

This one took a good half hour to go through and it was very good at the jump scares. Hard to tell the difference between a model and a live person. So good at making you pay attention to one thing and you get scared from something else. High marks to all the employees that keep it scary and make it all roll along. Well worth it.

There is one section that is difficult to get through if you’re prone to dizziness but it has railings to help. Also the scare actor outside tonight in the mushroom outfit was amazing!!!!! I’d come back just for them lolol

One of the costumed performers greeting guests was especially wonderful, it made the experience even more special. We also really enjoyed the museum!

The whole experience was amazing and worth every penny. The sets, animatronics, & especially the scare actors made this one of the best haunted houses we have ever been to. Definitely worth coming here anytime it's open. Will be back 🖤
