But the grim tale of Avondale Hollow is no mere bedtime story. From the grisly murders at the old Pickett farm, to the specters of lost soldiers said to haunt the nearby Langley manor, and the rumors of strange curses and haunting, disembodied cries told by those who strayed too far into the hollow after dark… Oh yes, there are plenty of folks who still remember the stories. And to those who doubt, who don’t believe in the Avondale curse, they’d all ask the same question… are you brave enough to find out for yourself? This fall, take the adventure to Avondale Haunted Barn to uncover the mystery of the Avondale curse. Ranked among the top fan-voted must-see haunted attractions in the state, Avondale Haunted Barn is a terrifying, immersive journey into a dark world of twisted folklore and sinister secrets.

Very haunted Haunted Farm!…read more We visited this attraction in NC over the weekend and it was such an awesome experience. A farm transformed into a long, immersive experience with detailed sets, impressive animatronics, and professional costumes and makeup. I was so impressed by the amount of details that went into the sets, costumes and props. As usual for an attraction like this, we waited in line for about an hour and a half. The actors took turns walking the lines and interacting with us. They also had a live band to entertain us as we waited. The experience itself lasted about 40 mins. Totally worth a visit!

This place was hands-down the most fun we've EVER had at a haunted house, period. For those wondering just "how" scary is this place and just "how much" do they touch you, I'll give you my impressions. This place deserves major props/respect for how unbelievably professional everyone is! I never felt like I was grabbed in a 'mean' or 'hurtful' way. This isn't a "Saw" movie, drag-you-off-and-lock-you-in-a-freezer type place. Think more like a big brother messing around with a little brother. Yes, they'll grab you, pull you, push you, etc. but it's honestly done completely professionally. There's a fine line between grabbing someone to hurt them and just wanting to scare them, and every single actor/character here was absolutely well on the professional side of that line. Is it scary? Oh yeah! But it's not meant to be a hardcore, "mean" experience. There are other haunts out there that do act kinda "mean" as part of the fun, and Sweet Dreams does have mean-looking clowns, and chainsaws, and clowns with chainsaws, etc. ... but no one ever acted "mean". While still not really appropriate for ages 12 and under (13-14 is probably pushing it for many people), it's completely fine for any adult (and even for +15). There is a "PG-13" rated option where they don't touch you and even for those who get the "R" rated version (which comes with a glow-in-the-dark necklace to help them identify who they can grab and who they can't) you can still take your necklace off at any time if you feel it's too much for you. (my advise, try the "R" experience, it's likely the best Halloween decision you've made since you were 8). This place, with the added excitement of being grabbed, was honestly the absolute most fun we've ever had. And we weren't the only ones who thought this. While standing in the entrance line, two different groups of people came up to the ticket lady and said nearly the same thing as what I've written here. In fact, they may in fact be starting a new standard in haunted attractions and in a couple of years, an "R" rated experience may be the norm. What's EVEN better, in our opinion, is the very personal nature of the self-guided walk. The night we were there, they were letting groups as small as 2 go through - that means you don't have to be bunched together with 6-8 other people (like most attractions) and this adds 1000% more to the experience. you simply don't miss anything! It's all for you. The drawback is the wait can be kinda long, so try to get here before 9pm for a 30min wait, or come after 10pm and you might be faced with an hour wait (totally worth it though so bring a sweater and enjoy their awesome live DJ). Snacks, beverages, bathrooms all provided. The total time to go through is about 30min and we never saw one other customer inside the attraction the entire time - it was the 3 of us and the actors - that's it! We came out horse, out of breath, and sweating. Awesome, awesome fun! Totally worth the drive. Great job Sweet Dreams - you may have changed local standards forever!

Read review by a Disney vacation planner and she was right on. Dollywood is the best park for ages…read more10 on up over Disney. It has TEN really good coasters compared to Disney having one or two for each separate park. Dollywood is way more beautiful with shady trees and lovely mountain setting plus the cost is about half the cost of Disney. The Fall decor was truly well done, the service very friendly, and renting a $55 electric cart for my second day was a life saved for this senior citizen! There are cute rides for the younger crowd too. The food was very average for the high prices but not near as outrageous as Disney. The All Season refillable mugs with carry handle were a bargain at $20! They even willl fill with homemade lemonade or Powersid plus cokes, root beer or water! We got to go on the new Nightflight Experience which was delightful but surprised us with a big splash that got our bag & pants wet! Wish I had known to get a handicapped pass at the entrance for my age and mobility issues. The Nightflight coaster cars can be stopped for boarding if you have the pass. After an hour wait, I could not raise leg up high enough not fast enough on entering the moving coaster and chose just to tumble into the cart that was leaving with my 6 yr old grand. Not a pretty sight! Our tall 6 yr old qualified to ride Lightening Rod but the stats should have been posted. She said "Never Again" and we were concerned if she would refuse all future rides of any kind! It appears to be an average wooden roller coaster, but NO! It goes over 70 mph then up 20 stories tall plus a drop of 165 feet. It may go upside down also. It should have a warning that it is one of the park"s most challenging thrill rides! Meanwhile, my challenge was Big Bear Mountain coaster. Was told it was not too bad, nothing upside down. Whoa......it took us 90 degrees sideways then flipped you quickly to the other side while going about 45 mph, requiring Grandma to shut her eyes for half the ride. One & done!!! DOLLYWOOD Guest Services: take note: most of the coasters I observed had no restraints for above the waist! The workers were very dilligent to check your locked seatbelt and bar across your middle. But I felt like I was falling out of Big Bear. The rides would be safer and more fun if I felt secured for my top half. It would also prevent an adult from squishing a child sharing the same coaster seat on a fast curve! Our party of six had a wonderful time. A two day pass is a bargain. Tip is to use the app for wait times and hurry to the back of the park on entrance. We wasted a lot of time waiting for little Barbie cars little ones can drive. Left night hot line after 45 minutes! Wish we knew to pay for preferred parking. Wait for parking trolley to the far lot at 8 pm on a weekend was an hour! Also wish we had read that you are allowed to bring in your own snacks for little ones or adults with issues! Gifts over $25 can be picked up lastly at the Emporium. They have lockers and shelves for bags at the rides ! Service was friendly & helpful. Restrooms clean! Overall, 5 stars, but some issues brought it to 4 stars. Try it Spring or Fall. Heard Christmas time is overcrowded. Fast Pass is priced according to crowds. Maybe worth it.

Very nice, safe and fun amusement park with good variety of rides and food…read more Standout food is cinnamon bread, and when they have them chicken wings during one of their festivals. Only negative is their new ride "nightflight" is very often down, sometimes the entire day... Also their web app is very often wrong not showing its down... given nightflight is FAR walk to find out just *in person* the ride is down is just plain poor customer service given how often its down!!! Took us 3 days of trying to catch it when it was working, and we ended up having to trust a third party website to find out if the ride was actually up or down!! Ride iself is cool with the water, and has lot of potential given its unique water/non water aspects... but lacks things in the air, and just overall more things to look at like you would have in an equivalent disney or universal ride.... net was not as immersive experience as competive park rides...but these types of gaps should be easily solvable if dollywood would try... Didnt care for their cross marketing of the "bioluminator", luckily my kids are too old to beg me to buy their lighted popcorn holder for about $30.
