This is truly one of the best haunted houses Ive been to. Im not any Connoisseur of haunts, nor…read morehave I traveled to all of them throughout USA, but I can confidently say this is worth your money. The best one I had been to before this was cutting edge, and its on a different level. I like that it was mostly just me and my girlfriend walking through the rooms. We rarely ran into someone else or had a group follow us. There were rooms that I wish I could have stayed in for an hour, because the attention to detail and the craft involved with special effects was worth studying. There were plenty of frights, but there were moments where I was just simply awestruck (especially with certain animatronics). There were plenty of actors and moments where they timed it just right for you to see a story unfold. It was an extra touch I wasnt expecting but only enhances the experience tenfold. This is a jam packed 30 minutes and I would recommend you visit, even if you have to drive for a few hours to get here. With that being said, I want to fully acknowledge some things. Their ticketing system is STUPID! You have to cross the street to get a ticket, since the front door doesnt handle that. If you didnt know any better, youll be standing in line, only to find out you have to leave the line and lose your spot if you came solo. Luckily, if you come in pairs, its easy enough for someone in your group to hold your spot. The line is filled with loud and obnoxious teenagers. If this is too much for you, then consider getting a VIP pass. I was at the tail end of my vacation, so I didnt mind standing in line for an hour and 45 minutes before getting into the haunted house. we also showed up at 6:40 and the line was bonkers. It only got worse 30 minutes later. This was on a Sunday early in October. I can only imagine how busy it gets closer to Halloween, or on a Friday/Saturday. Parking is cash only, but if you get there early enough, there is actually plenty of parking in the surrounding area. The brick yard bar was fine enough for us to park for free and didnt get towed/booted.

Consistently rated one of the top haunted houses in the US, 13th Gate always knocks it out the…read morepark! They work year round on their detailed and amazing set designs (i actually spent more time looking at those than even trying to enjoy the spooks and scares). The actors are pretty good. We missed some of the features due to how our group got mixed with a slower moving couple who awkwardly held up things and kept pulling off to the side. I like that they have some actor engagement in the line... i feel like there could be more bc you really are just standing there. They added more bathrooms for the line, so that was nice. I appreciate the security in and around the house. This particular year (and perhaps previous years as I haven't been in a few), the whole thing ended pretty suddenly and lacklusterly when you just walk out into a store selling shirts.... no ending fright, nothing to really make it end memorably. We enjoyed the various places to take pictures across the street, and they always have some talented bands playing. I love that the actors enjoy the experience every year, and it's even better that this little gem is available right here in Baton Rouge!
