    Teddy. Everyone's friend. Absolutely unhinged. No hands. 10/10
    Jonah P.

    This is THE BEST haunted house in the Bay. Hands down. High quality scares, characters, rooms and staff. The maze was accessible, suspenseful, and well managed. I would HIGHLY recommend doing it twice- once with the flashlight and once without. It takes it to a whole new level of fear and adrenaline.

    Captain Jack is the most kindness and humorous of them all... But dare if you will and go inside to see some of the scariest faces and screams. Definitely would come back! Only recommendation is that they actually make it two houses vs combined into one. Note: do not recommend for children! They will be scared.

    Got the "immediate admission" tickets, and it came in handy to skip the lines the Saturday before Halloween (yes, there was already a line when they opened at 5pm). But I think the Fast Pass tickets would have been sufficient and better value (if you're arriving closer to opening time). It was fun. We had a single flashlight which was so cheap and dim that it was almost pointless to use. Besides, it's not exactly pitch black in there, so we could see the themed decor and setup just fine... as well as the monsters that creep up on you inside. I like that they didn't just do the typical jump scares... in fact the quieter creatures and characters were sometimes creepier. The sets were decent, not cheap looking, and the costumes and makeup of the actors were pretty good, for both those inside the haunted attraction and others outside scaring attendees waiting in line. I like the thrill of haunted houses, so in our short-lived, somewhat overpriced, excitement of "two haunts" combined into one continuous walk-through, I made sure there was lots of screaming :D

    This place was very scary my friend went on to Snapchat and started dancing !!

    Well it was very scary my friend Giuly said she had fun and enjoyed it.I really loved this place !!! Coming back soon with family and friends

    I loved it! The actors were amazing. I was spooked, but enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you for a great night out.

    It was a fun experience for the most part to cap off a wonderful birthday night for our eldest. Wait time in line for general admission was a good estimated 15 minutes. I got a good scare and scream throughout the maze for myself and my bunch. However, I found some of the security and actors to be a bit hostile. I get they deal with a lot of people and in some situations things can get a little tense and safely for their actors is a concern. But mind you my group of preteen boys were literally just being kids goofing off in line and playing a game to help pass time as we waited to get in. I observed my group's interaction with the few actors passing and for the most part they responded with typical behavior as if they were startled or scared. But one of the actors & security took offense to some of the kids reaction and security gave them a warning to behave or they'd be asked to leave. I didn't address security but rather as a mom chaperoning 10 teenage boys i just reminded them to stay close to me, be kind and respectful. But honestly I think they were just as confused as i was by the verbal warning. Nonetheless we went about our night and made it through the haunted house, the kids got a kick out of the maze. Although, I do think there should be a little more direction or guidance inside because it's so dark we ended up following the exit signs above and was scolded by an actor for going the wrong way. Lol, it was an honest mistake on my behalf I just couldn't see. Honestly, a lot of the people working there could use a serious break and maybe a few kind words (thank you btw). I know I can't speak on their working conditions but in my opinion it reflects in their demeanor. Nonetheless I would say give it a go I enjoyed it and so did my bunch. The bloody bunny doll with a button for an eye was probably the only one that we saw in line waiting that stayed in character and didn't have a complete attitude. Lastly the preacher character, talking to a bunch of preteen boys about their "private parts" was inappropriate, unprofessional and unprovoked. You're an adult (working at that) DO BETTER please and I do mean that in the most respectful way possible.

    If this cost $12-15 it might be worth it. Production value is low, you walk through room after room with the same formula.

    Ask the Community - Fear Overload Scream Park

    Is it the scariest haunted house in California?

    Worst haunted house I've ever been to. I've been to local ones put on by neighbors for fun that are scarier. Scariest part is the 3 hour line to do the 10 minute walk of shame

    How much is it to enter and what else is at the place other than two hunted houses?

    The price depends on if you buy a general admission, fast pass, or a immediate entrance ticket. And there is only 1 haunt to walk through, not 2.

    What is the latest that they will let you into the park?

    Ten minutes before closing is the latest you can buy tickets with cash.

    How many in a group can enter?

    This year they're starting to limit it to 4 or 5. Anything more and they will split it up.

    How long does it take to go through?

    We don't let everyone go through at one time we try to space everyone out, on our busier nights (Friday's, Saturday's and Halloween) we can't control how fast or slow people move through our 2 houses but we do our best to give space between groups.

    What the age limited ? Want to take my 10 year old Son

    I wouldn't recommend anyone under the age of 13 BUT that is at your discretion.

    What age do you think this place is appropriate for? I've read anywhere from not under 12 to 15 with is a big difference to me. What do you think?

    In my opinion I think anyone 10 and up is good but some 10 year olds can't handle it so it really depends on the child. 12 and up would probably be best though.

    Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2022…read more The Pandemic Chronicles Great America's Tricks and Treats is amazing for families. Gone are the super scary days of Halloween Haunt. The entire park looks reminiscent of a wannabe Disneyland. I know some are crying over the loss of Halloween Haunt but this is probably more of a moneymaker for Great America and by the size of the crowds they are doing well this season. Trick or Treating Halloween Themed Shows Halloween Themed Sweets Halloween Activities There are four areas of the park Patch Place Ickyville Sweet Tooth Acres Everfall Most of the popular roller coaster rides are operating during this special event. The lines for the trick or treating are long but lots of kids and their families are having fun. You see many families with their young children up to teens enjoying the park. I love the addition of the bonfires with seats around- such a great addition to the park on the chilly evenings. We have Gold Season Passes and have enjoyed Great America's Tricks and Treats. The park has been quite packed both during the day and night. I look forward to seeing how amazing Winterfest will be this year since the Great America's Tricks and Treats has been so fantastic. Noelle's Notes Great event for families. Amazing options for foods- sweet and savory. Love, love, love the Bonfire seating- so EPIC!!!

The haunt experiences…read morewere quite terrifying - a pro tip is to make sure there's a gap in front of you and the group in front of you so that the people will scare you! The terror zone was super since people in costume were scaring people as they were just walking around - which is always super amusing in my opinion. I'm also easily scared. A pro tip: consider ubering or parking early in the day since the parking line for haunt gets so so long (1hr at 8 pm) Tooth fairy was my favorite by far

    This patch is cute…read more The haunted trail costs $15 per person and there are scheduled appointment times to go in, however the line backs up and you have to wait at least 30 minutes past your appointment time before entering. We did not enter the trail until 720pm, and that is after getting in line at 640pm. Just be aware. Which is fine, my family had fun and the actors inside are funny and well rehearsed. However, since we waited so long, we got out of the trail around 750pm. My kid wanted to play the carnival games, which close at 8pm, so we bought some tickets to play, and were out to the carnival by 752pm, they had already taken everything down and had only a few simple games still up. My kid was bummed, but I figured since there were no refunds, I could go back and get a snack instead with my tickets. I was denied and told to come back next week to redeem the tickets. I know this is all for a good cause and it really isn't too big of a deal, but it is silly that I literally bought the tickets within a minute and then walked back after the carnival being closed and then denied to even use the tickets on anything else and then told to come back next week. They were told not to sell any tickets since they were closing up the carnival early, but I guess it wasn't communicated well. I guess we will be back to use up the tickets next weekend...?

And while there, we paid the extra 4 bucks per person to attend the BayLUG LEGO Holiday Show on site. They have a few displays and LEGO sets for sale outside near the garden, but the actual exhibit in the building was far more impressive with lots of little details not to be missed. The 2025-2026 theme "Great American Road Trip" included a scavenger hunt for kids to spot a list of items and characters within the diverse and colorful LEGO displays. Delightful scenes set up in a single room, including a whole collection of flowers, an adorable rabbit, rainbows, pirate ships, vehicles of all kinds, Disneyland's Radiator Springs, railroad tracks with moving trains, aliens and flying saucers, skyscrapers, a forest of trees, a clown motel, and even a street parade happening in the city. Enough to fascinate both kids and adults, and well worth the small entry fee, especially if you're a LEGO fan. The theme changes each year, so it's a joy to experience time after time.

I wanted to experience all the rides, food, games, the vibes and much more, all once again. I have been coming to Great America for over 25 years and I have made many memories at the park. From first rides on Stealth, to Days of Thunder, to getting wet on Whitewater Falls. Of course, some of those rides are long gone and have been replaced by other attractions. My favorite roller coaster there is actually Patriot. It is a simple floorless coaster that use to be the standup coaster, Vortex. I like how there are many rides very close to each other and you are just a few feet away from food and drinks in every corner. There are some days though where the lines move painfully slow. I wish the staff would consider optimizing the loading and unloading process so that wait times are more bearable. Other than that, everything else is good. I do hope someone or even the City of Santa Clara can sweep in and save Great America for future generations. If we lose Great America, we lose a community gathering spot for picnics, attractions, waterpark fun, concerts and so much more.
