Lots of different rooms in this space and it was really fun to do different things in the experience. It was definitely a scary experience, way scarier than Universal Horror Nights. I found it was well orchestrated and only by 5 people! Special mentions go to Franny, Garrett, Kes, LJ and Jana. I would highly recommend this experience if you're looking for something scary and interactive. There's also 2 modes where you can make it normal or more scary. I definitely couldn't do more scary, but I'm sure it would be really fun for anyone that is up to it!

Step inside the factory once owned by Caleb, his wife Sarah, and their daughter Lucy, and uncover the mystery behind what happened to their family. You'll navigate through dark rooms, search for clues, and at times split up into teams--or even venture out on your own. Garrett, Kes, and Jana helped make the experience such a fun one for my friends and me. They explained that this isn't your traditional escape room. Instead of focusing heavily on puzzles, it's a fully immersive experience where you become part of the story and experience the events firsthand while trying to piece together what's happening inside the factory. If you enjoy horror, suspense, or just want to try something completely different with your friends, this is definitely a fun group activity. Our 90 minutes flew by because we were so invested in figuring out the mystery and trying to understand everything happening around us. The staff was enthusiastic, the experience was immersive, and we were completely locked in from beginning to end. Just be prepared to get a little uncomfortable... physically and emotionally.

It is really sweaty in there. There's not much airflow in the game room and don't event think they have air conditioning on. We were all dripping sweat so dress accordingly.

He always makes us feel welcome and keeps the whole place running smoothly. Always a great time.

Today I had the wonderful opportunity conversing with the homeowner again he loves to share how he made each individual character from common items, such as washtubs, potato sacks, Water cans, etc. He mentioned that he does it for the community, especially the children. Furthermore, I found out today that as we grow closer to Christmas / winter holiday the outdoor decorations transitions/change into more of a Christmas theme (as the movie itself does) And as we get closer to December 25, he's going to put up a Christmas tree, and then the stockings! I love slowly driving by here, especially with a passenger, who's never seen the house before and is shocked at how beautifully done it is! In conclusion, we give Much thanks to the homeowner and the neighborhood for having this heartfelt display for all to enjoy !

Our family of six first learned about this truly amazing holiday spectacle right here in Orange…read moreCounty. For years we hoped to stop by, but life kept getting busy and we never quite made it--until now. On our very first visit, we were lucky enough to meet the homeowners themselves. They generously walked our four kids through each creation and section, encouraging them to ask questions and even sharing their own favorite parts of the movie that inspired it all. Watching our kids light up during that interaction made the experience even more special. What makes this display even more incredible is knowing that every single character in the yard is handcrafted by the homeowners themselves. The time, care, and love poured into this display is undeniable. A truly magical experience created by genuinely amazing people. We are so grateful we finally made the visit--and it's now a holiday memory our family will cherish.

BIG EDIT* Sugarplum has moved to Westminster mall. They are…read moreno longer at the Buena Park mall. Check their website for details! *************** Sugarplum has been doing Sugarplum for over forty years! So you know they have fine tuned any glitches that an art & craft Festival might have. They've figured out the lines, so customer's waiting time is minimal. They have a strict reviewing process for new vendors so that there is something new & fresh to see every show! And.. if a location is not working, they don't quit, they find a new location to land & call home! Their show is family run & every vendor becomes family to them. They know many of their customers by name & love the first timers & their loyal ones that no matter how far, are first in the door at every Sugarplum with bells on! If you are a first timer you will find a magical shopping experience. I promise.

I usually really enjoy attending the Sugar Plum festival; however, the one I attended at Woodbridge…read moreVillage in Irvine was not as pleasant as I had expected. The admission is free, which is nice; but there are no places to sit down for a few minutes, in order to take a short break. The prices are really steep, & I tried unsuccessfully to find & purchase a loaf of homemade bread. The other Sugar Plum locations (such as OC Fairgrounds) are much more accommodating. There is a small cafe, to grab a coffee or water or a light snack. After leaving the festival, I had to walk off the festival location to find a bite to eat. I am not normally the complaining type of person; however, I felt compelled to share my experience.

We went on opening weekend (9/28). Unfortunately, it wasn't very crowded at all. Which would have…read morebeen great for us if we hadn't bought the fast pass that we didn't end up needing at all. This is different from other haunted mazes that I have been to because they actually have vendors here and a live band playing. This is held in what was formally a Macy's...which adds to the creepy factor. There is also two scare zones that you walk through on the first floor. There is a total of three mazes...one on each floor. The first floor maze was one of the best mazes that I have ever been through. It is very interactive and personal. I like that you are not herded through like cattle which takes away the scary factor. This maze made me face my claustrophobia fears and once I made it through I was half filled with anxiety and half filled with thrill. Needless to say, we ended up doing that maze again. Actually, we went through all the mazes twice. The other mazes are really cool and the 3rd floor one is also unique in the way that you go through the maze. I won't add any spoilers. I definitely recommend this haunt. They have promo codes and discounts tickets out there and I would look for them, otherwise it's on the pricey side. Happy Haunting!!!

We already did Universal Horror Nights and Queen Mary Dark Harbor this year, so I was excited to…read morevisit Sinister Pointe! I've enjoyed their attraction when they were still in Fullerton and remember getting the crap scared out of me. I can report that they did it again tonight! Side note: I'm a Halloween haunt fan but a major scaredy cat! Located inside Laguna Hills Mall which is also by In N Out. Parking is plentiful and FREE! We purchased our tickets thru Groupon so entering was a breeze. No line at the entrance at 9:45pm on Friday 10/19/18. It was definitely a slower night. We completed all 3 attractions in 1.5 hours. This used to be a Macy's department store, so there is a lot of space they had to work with! Upon walking in on the first floor, there is a stage and vendors scattered among 2 scare zones which are mini maze walk throughs. Restrooms are only port o potties located on first floor by the entrance. There are 3 attractions - Boogeyman Express, Phobias, and Evil on 2. The website states there would be light touching by scare actors which I noticed A LOT of! Also, I noticed a heavy use of strobe lights. Some mazes splash you lightly with water and some require crawling. "Boogeyman Express" was SO FUN!! Line up here first! We waited almost 30 mins (I read that it can be longer), but it was so worth it! It is a train-like ride which is actually pretty scary with a pinch of adult comedy from the conductor. This attraction had me screaming, ducking, and jumping all from inside a train. Allowing only small groups (4 can comfortably fit in the train) really intensifies this experience! This ride should definitely NOT be missed! "Phobias" is a walk through INTERACTIVE maze! The line took a little longer because they only allow small groups in.. you'll see why! It's pretty fun and kept me on my feet. You literally experience some common phobias so proceed with caution! I refused to do certain things because like I said, I am a chicken! Thankfully my BF and a random guy who went thru with us completed the tasks! I appreciate how the walk through is built and all the surprises inside! "Evil on 2" is a haunted hotel themed walk through maze. The concierge walked us in to a big, dark room (it looked like what used to be the loading dock) and I instantly became scared! I like how this maze is different from other attractions due to utilizing department store stuff. The scare actors inside also did a great job hiding in unexpected places which sent me running away screaming! Overall, I think Sinister Pointe did a GREAT job! My experience may differ being a scaredy cat and having a small crowd which meant no more than 4 people grouped together in each attraction. I look forward to what Sinister Pointe offers next year!
