Reviews
Waited until Blackout to check this place out and so glad I did. Ridiculously scary. I wanted the full horror experience with actors being able to grab and this was just the best. I got chased and grabbed so many times that I genuinely did not feel safe in the best possible way!

Hopped in the car with some friends and drove down from Cleveland and it was worth it, all the workers were really into it, the sets were creepy, and the place was buzzing with Halloween vibes.

I absolutely love Halloween. And this haunt right in my town is the absolute best !
I'm a huge book nerd so my favorite was the library.
What makes this haunt stand out to me is. They don't use tons of animatronics. They have tons of actors. For me that's a must as I only can get scared " jump scare"
Just an awsome haunt from the time you walk into the gates. It's clean awsome staff and a great time.

For the price of just a haunted house at other locations, you get carnival style rides, go carts and a massive haunted house. They really allow space in between groups in the haunted house instead of just ramming everyone thru like they do at most attractions. The characters roaming around the park were amazing in the way they interacted with customers and their costumes/make up. They took time to sing "happy birthday" to my mother (we were there on her actual birthday and it was their idea). Absolutely first rate!
