Honestly, I was a little disappointed. Bloodshed Farms consists of 4 different standard attractions with different themes, a haunted prison, a clown walk through, a corn walk through & a hay ride. They also have addition attraction called the Bloodshed that I didn't participate in.
I arrived around 8:15 on a Saturday night & got in line to buy tickets (tip - buy them online beforehand, or on your phone while waiting in line like several people did). Eventually get to the front & pay $25 for all 4 normal attractions (normally $30, but I had a coupon). All said & done with going through the attractions & waiting on the lines for each one I spent about 3 1/2 hours there, most of it in line.
The attractions from best to worst are: The prison, the clown area, the corn walk through & a hay ride.
The haunted prison was by far the best (I believe the owners ran a prison themed haunt previously so that makes sense), which has a few different areas you'd expect to find, like a laundry facility, showers, execution chamber, cells, etc.
The clown area was still good, but I felt the theme/sets dropped off. Yes, there are lots of clowns, but not much to give it the feel of an actual circus. A carnival barker, some side show signs in a hallway, I think only 1 room had circus music. Nothing to make it scream "CLOWNS" other than just people in clown attire in a normal haunted house. Some of the actors were very good though.
The corn walk through (it's not a maze, just a path with jack o lanterns every few feet), was very sparse. Walk 50 feet, go into a haunted shed, walk 50 feet, another scene, etc. For some reason they sent me through this by myself instead of in a group, so maybe that through off the timing, but one actor didn't even notice me on the trail until after I passed him and he was like "whoops" after I passed him. The chainsaw guy didn't even bother trying to start his saw or chase me.
The hay ride was the worst attraction by far. The wait was ridiculous, a full 74 minutes. Yes, I actually timed it because other patrons warned me the wait was very long. The wait was so long that someone a few rows ahead of me actually relieved themselves in line. Plenty of people smoking in the line too. The actual hayride had maybe 2 worthwhile jump scares, but overall not much worthwhile happened. Several people in line complained that they waited so long at the hayride when they finally were through the other attractions were already closed for the night. I would have been super disappointed if I had paid $25-$30 for 1 attraction!
I'm not trying to bash the event or anything, I'm sure it's difficult to run a haunted house, but felt an unbiased & fair review from an attendee was warranted. read more
