The wait was long, very long. I expected a lot more from this one based on all the hype and recognition. And how fitting that it's in a school because it's very elementary. If you're looking for a real fright night, this isn't it. read more

One of the better haunted houses I have been to on the east coast. Dent has good special effects, a solid theme, well spaced out scares.

I was here two years ago with my family and some friends. It wasn't the first time either. This year, it had changed a lot. It was a long walk through the house, but we didn't like it as well. It seemed like there were less people acting the roles and a lot more animation and props. I realize they must change to keep interest, but it didn't "get" us this year. We were disa read more

Not a bad haunt. To me it is a bit over rated. It is one of better ones in Cincy but there are better ones in the area. It has gotten better over the past few years. They have got rid of the parts that had nothing to do with a school house and now focus more on making that the theme. It flows so much better now. I recommend going on Thursday night the line is a lot shorter that nigh of the week. Although i always have fun going through this haunt I don't think that it should be rated that high on the list of best haunts in the nation. read more

Being plagued by second hand smoke for two hours in line ruined the entire experience for me. This shouldn't be allowed, especially with all the children around. read more

Had such a wonderful experience at the Dent School House this year. Went with my diabetic husband. We forgot to bring a cereal bar and debit card in case his blood sugar dropped. The line itself was about an hour long, and we were all separated 6 ft apart with workers there to make sure we were separated from others the whole time. So we're about halfway through the line and my husband's blood sugar drops to about 70. At this point we're worried and regretting leaving that cereal bar and debit card. I asked one of the workers if she had any candy and she just laughed it off assuming it was a joke. A little later on she sees me and says "did you find that candy you wanted?" To which I tell her no and that my husbands blood sugar was low. She advised that I go over to the concessions where they might have some extra candy. I left the line where my husband held my spot and ran over to the concessions. I kindly asked them if they had a small piece of candy to spare for my husband who has low blood sugar, and they promptly handed me a free cookie. I went back in line and gave my husband the cookie. 20 minutes to go in the line and two of the workers come to check on us and make sure he's okay before going into the attraction. They did not have to do any of us but we are so very grateful that they did! Great experience. On top of that, the actors did a wonderful job and the makeup was great. I didn't expect everyone to look so good with having to wear masks, but you couldn't even tell! Awesome job Dent! read more

Very much less than mediocre. They boast 60+ actors. I would probably say 30 at best.

Long lines. Low energy. Constantly running into groups. Even if you go in September, it's still the same case. Extremely disappointing.

The line was way too long for the time you spend inside and groups are sent through too soon behind the other. The maze at the end was a more amusing attraction but was too short. In terms of the scare factor, well, there wasn't anything scary about it. I don't see how it got rated as one of the top haunts. read more

A very busy haunted house, so be prepared to go in line or go on an off-night. They also offer fast pass for a shorter wait. Detail is amazing and they have jaw-dropping sets! During our visit this year they also had some very good hiding spots. It was very busy during our visit and our small group quickly became one very large one, so you may run into that as well. If you read or listen to the story behind the school house it will help bring the haunt itself to life, especially since you will run into "Charlie" the janitor multiple times during your journey.

A lot of work goes into this place and it's a great event for children to be scared beyond imagination. A few repressionist have left negative reviews but maybe those people should stay home and watch TV to fulfill their needs of what a good time is. Yes, a lot of people come here, yes you will wait in line just like anywhere you go that is awesome. Yes you will wait in line to buy tickets of you aren't savvy enough to purchase them online prior. Buy your tickets online, go early and relax. . . it's for fun. read more

I had so much fun @ the Dent Schoolhouse! We got there around 8:00 and waited for about an hour. The actors were great - sometimes scary, sometimes funny. You could tell that everyone involved was enjoying being there. Only complaint was that it took us a while to find our way out of Detention Hall. No clues as to which was the way out and we saw a lot of people give up and take the emergency exits. We stuck it out and completed the whole attraction a little after 10:00. The feeling of sucessfully competing the maze almost erases the frustration of going the wrong way for 20 minutes. Definitely worth the $20. read more

My family and I came a couple years ago and I remember having a pretty good time. I decided to go back with some friends tonight and when we got there we asked how long the line would be. The man told us that it would be about 45 minutes so we decided to buy the $25 tickets. Fast forward to an hour and a half later and we weren't even halfway through the line. IN THE FREEZING COLD! I understand that they can't always be on time but when we tried to get our money back because it was just too cold to keep waiting, they wouldn't return it. I would just like to make some suggestions to the owners of the Dent Schoolhouse. I think a lot of people would enjoy it more if you had heat lamps throughout the lines to help keep them warm and please give people a realistic wait time and if it goes longer than double the wait time you told them, they could get a refund. Just some ideas. It really is a fun time once you get into the actual house. read more

You are being mislead with these reviews.This haunted house is lame. The scariest part is waiting in line! It wouldn't be bad for kids I imagine? read more

I live over by the dent school house and I went for the first time in 2013 and it was fun. I was in a big group and we had a ton of fun!
