Highly recommend give it a look at and enjoy the owners hard work.

It's a great house with some clever scares, and it's genuinely more scary than other area haunts without crossing any boundaries. I love Ghoul Brothers, and I'm so excited for their 2023 season! Highly recommend!!

It was scary enough for them without me feeling we had to leave within a few minutes and entertaining enough for me. I felt the price was reasonable and everyone was professional and stayed in character the whole time. I moved here recently from Vermont with my kids after my partner died. It reminded me of home with some of the haunted trails we have out there. My kids stopped feeling homesick and really had a blast. Thank you very much to everyone great job.

They were happy to charge you full admission with waiting times over an hour to enter woods. With no people, in queue, in front of you. Woods had nothing to offer, it was rather haleririous experience, where we felt like idiots paying for a late walk in the woods, if I didn't have my flash light on, I would ended up in Emergency, that was the only terrifying experience of nearly breaking your neck! After 20 minutes walk we asked for a full refund, they promised to sort it out and nothing was refunded. I received no further communication. I am extremely disappointed with above experience. They opened up to public, but did not invest in decorations, atmosphere or an experience. Wish I could score -30 for the whole night.

With that said, what Fear Forest has going for it is atmosphere and good actors. The hayride is always fun, although I feel like last year was a bit better for some reason. My wife and I went again this year on Halloween night with a friend and we choose to do all 4 events. Even the hayride seemed a tiny bit lacking compared to last year (maybe because not many people want to work halloween night especially on a Friday night) the mazes were fun and the actors did a good job. The cornmaze was our favorite. The atmosphere, weather, sounds, and lights were perfect for a fun maze of scares. I passed a Scarecrow actor and liked his mask, I said aloud, "that's an awesome mask and I can't make to make my own", and he pulled me aside and stood in front of a light so I can take a photo with my phone for reference. Small, but very nice thing to do, and I sure appreciated that. Very cool guy. Thanks again, man. Will we go again next year? Hm. Absolutely. See you next year, Fear Forest! 9.4/10 P.s. Dress warm.

We did the haunted trail during the "family friendly" daylight hours (no actors), games, and Little Green Choo ride. The park system and volunteers must have spent a lot of time preparing for this event. The haunted trail was elaborate and amazing. The trail is wagon/stroller friendly, (the walk-thru side attractions are not), but it is quite scary even during the 'family friendly' hours, so I wouldn't recommend it for young children. The bubble machine, tricycle race track, and carnival games are all perfectly suited for the younger crowd though, as was the train ride. I also really enjoyed seeing many well-constructed child-sized Halloween character photo-ops. When we left the park around 8:00pm, the line for the haunted trail was very long, and the line of cars down Diagonal Rd. waiting to get into the parking area was even longer. They stop letting people line up at 9:30pm, so I would advise arriving far in advance of that to allow for slow entrance to the parking area and probably a line at the ticket booth. They made an announcement (maybe around 6:30pm, but I'm not sure) allowing people to queue up for entrance to the haunted trail once it turned 'scary' at 7:00pm, so I would go early for the shortest wait. Cost is $2 per person, free for 3 and under. Games and food are extra. There is a significant amount of walking involved from the parking area to the ticket booth and then to the attractions, so this event is probably not a good choice for those with mobility issues, although they do have a handicapped parking area and accessible restrooms available.
