*****3.5 stars***** It was raining for several hours in the area and was looking for an indoor activity. Ghostly Manor came up and looked Ike a good option for some indoor fun. There's eight activities to do here including a haunted house, escape room, XD dark ride, mini golf, roller skating, and a bounce house - you could definitely spend a few hours here. If you're going to do at least two of the activities, consider doing one of the passes rather than paying individually. Place is clean and fairly large. Staff is friendly, but seemed a little overwhelmed when 2+ groups were waiting in line. Plenty of parking available in their large lot. read more

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The games were fun and everything ran smoothly. Prices were very reasonable. The haunted house attraction was amazing! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something to do in the Sandusky area. read more

Super fun for a sweet date night. Just go! The 4D game is really engaging. 3D mini golf was more fun than I thought. Haunted house was scarier than Cedar point. read more

The haunted house was so fun and scary , overall great place with great prices. The staff was all nice the pizza was good. We visited from Chicago and will definitely come back. read more

My friends and I started going to the adult skate nights and we always have a great time. We love that we can bring our own drinks and no kids during adult nights. We cannot wait until next month adult skate night and it is a great exercise. read more

This was such a fun place with many options for different tastes. You can choose from various pricing packages or build your own. We did the bounce & ride, added the XD movie, and the haunted house. First, the staff is hands down the kindest and most patient I have ever met in an indoor playground. For the roller skating you have the option of regular or inline skates as well as scooters which was really convenient for my youngest, although they do offer "trainers" the kids can lean on for a small price. The bouncing and the movie were fun as well. There is a small arcade area and a snack shop that is really well priced given the "location" (i.e. indoor playground). We didn't try the mini golf but I looked like a lot of fun as well. Keeping the best for last, the haunted house was the "piece de resistance" for us; my kids even asked to do it a second time. We went last Wednesday 7/30, and let me tell you, whomever was back there needs to be given an award! There can't be more than 1 maybe 2 people scaring you but they are everywhere and it feels like there are many more than that. To say I was scared and had the best time is an understatement! This haunted house beats any we've done in NOVA, Kings Dominion, or 6 flags. I think I know who it was but whomever congratulations and thank you, you made our day. read more

Super cool place, went with my fiancé hoping to play mini golf but sadly it was under construction (but also good because it's being renovated). The guy at the front desk was super nice and gave us some other options - my fiancé settled on the haunted house attraction. I was kinda skeptical of how good it would actually be but this is legitimately one of the scarier haunted houses I have been too. I won't spoil anything but it's safe to say we were totally terrified. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone needing a quick activity or to anyone who wants a unique experience. Plus they have a bunch of dragon murals and a dragon statue outside which was totally dope. read more

It was our first time here. We will most definitely be returning. The staff was very helpful and patient with us while we looked over the options on their menu for the stuff to do. I love how it's so lite up. I could see our sons from everywhere. The arcade area was priced really good. It wasn't to expensive like Dave and Busters. read more

I took my daughter and grandkids here because there was something for everyone. We went on a Tuesday on a 90 degree day .Both kids very much enjoyed the bounce houses and the VR. We got the large package so we could do everything that was offered and spent about six hours there letting the kids run , jump , skate , golf & play games . We had the pizza that came with our package. It was two slices each and it was really much better than was expected, and it came with a drink. There's also a nice snack bar there that you could buy additional snacks and drinks. The kids had a blast. Even the adults enjoyed the dark ride.We did that about four times each laughing the entire time great bonding experience with my grandsons and daughter.it was very reasonably priced . read more

We had some time to kill and some restless kids, so we decided to. Heck this place out. Not many places are opened off season around here, but this place was. Even on New Years Day. I did not check out the haunted house and was not able to make it during the night time to see the Christmas light display, but this place was still totally awesome. They have a huge private parking lot and a dragon coming out of the building. What more do you need. The lights were low and the music was pumping. The skating rink was blacklight lit and the staff is uber friendly. They have a haunted house, roller skating, black light mini golf, a jungle gym, and some bounce houses. They also have a snack bar with pizza, pretzels, slushies, soda, water.... They also have a mini arcade in the place that you can earn tickets and similar to most kid arcades, then get a sticker for like 100 of them. You have to sign a waiver for you kid to play on the bounce house. They have special nights such as family night where they have awesomely priced packages, that include pizza, skating and games. The place is reasonably priced and my 4 year old found it pretty entertaining. She was not very good at skating, even with the assist thing, but she gave it a shot. We spent about 2 hours there and had a lot of fun on a chilly New Years Day. read more

OMG- this place was great! We needed something to do indoors on a rained-out day of Cedar Point. Pulled up some attractions in the area and the Ghostly Manor came up. Seemed they had some decent things to do indoors. The mini-golf was excellent, loved the neon, 3-D elements, only wish it were longer. The Haunted House- what can I say- literally one of the scariest and best I've been to in decades. They just don't make these legitimately scary haunted houses anymore. It was EXCELLENT!! Considering it was summer and it was at this scare level, I can only imagine how it gets in October. Highly recommend. read more

So much fun! Roller skating, mini 3D golf, but haunted house was a scream!! So very good! Loved our three hour stay for $25.00. Best value!!

I used to go there everyday this place was amazing the workers were so nice and polite good music so much to do

Visiting Cedar Park and Hotel Breakers, kids wanted a different activity by end of week. We LOVE the haunted house: scary, super long and great props! Skating rink was good size with pumping music - for skate and scooters, fun! Friendly staff taking safety precautions; low crowds during Covid. read more

Great for our 6 year old. I spent $39 for the top package plus bounce house/playground plus a round of mini golf for me. Entertained me, my 6 year old and 1 year old (stroller participation only). Could have easily stayed longer than the 4 hours we spent. Everything was clean, the crowd was manageable, and the staff friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend. read more

Clean & reasonable prices Ghostly Manor has. La chica le encanta la casa de la despedida!

I am a haunted house person! Eastern State, Jason's Woods....I love them all, but I have never found one that gives me a good scare. I usually jump a little and laugh. So when I saw there was haunted house near Cedar Point we had to go. When we arrived we knew we were going to do the 4D theatre and the haunted house. There is a plethora of things to do here; mini golf, laser maze roller skating etc. We chose the theatre first. It was fun but have been to better ones. This one jolted you around a lot and there was no interaction. Next off to the haunted house. I thought, as I always do, this will be a fun little thing to occupy our time. WELL...I screamed probably 5 times. My daughter, who is 16 and loves haunted houses too, was yelling "I want out!" To make matters worse...It seemed like the house went on forever. LOL! This was the BEST haunted house I have ever been to! Kudos to Ghostly Manor for finally making a haunted house that's actually scary! Tip: they have 5 houses and a trail during the Halloween season for $25. read more

I lie it's it's fun and all but I asked for hot fries the chips and they charged me for actual fries so I lost about 2 or something dollars

Gabby, Ridge, and the entire team were GREAT! I wish I could remember each of their names working on July 28th. They helped make the entire experience so much fun! Plenty of quality games and experiences. it was a great day! read more

This place is a Great time for ppl ages 1-110 yrs. We Have been stopping in for so many years. We Never Get tired of the different types of things going on in a cpl of the rooms, However I'm just Happy that it's Always a FUN FUN Family time out even for those of you who are just Couples. Give it a Go. U won't be sorry. It's cheap fun, BUT HREAT FUN read more

My sister and I visited here in August to fulfill one of our greatest bucket list items: conquering the coasters of Cedar Point. The night before we didn't have much going on so we decided to check this place out. We had an amazing time, it was a great "pregame" for our amusement park weekend! We experienced most everything that the Ghostly Manor had to offer. We got one of the bundle packages which included blacklight mini golf, a 3D motion film, a VR game, a laser maze game, and unlimited skating on their rink. The blacklight mini golf was one of the highlights and took the longest amount of time. It was a wizard/fantasy theme with some moving animatronics; the place was super colorful and a lot of fun, especially having never done blacklight mini golf before. The motion film takes place in a little mini theatre and reminds me a lot of similar simulators you would find in a typical Dave & Busters. But right now I'm going to skip everything else and insist that you visit their year-round haunted house located inside the venue. The actual Ghostly Manor is INTENSE! Definitely one of the better year-round haunts I've experienced. It takes a decent amount of time to get through (around 10 mins) and the decor & animatronics in each room are NON-STOP! The guy who runs around tormenting you the whole time makes you think there's an entire house of ghouls surrounding you. It is so well-operated and easily my favorite part of Ghostly Manor. Based on my experience with this maze, I would definitely come back to see what else this town has to offer for Halloween season. As far as the service, I can't say I had the same experiences as some of these reviews. It could always be the day, but my sister and I received great customer service throughout our time. So if you're in the area from out of town and you're in the mood for a couple of hours of good old fashioned indoor recreational entertainment, I would definitely recommend a visit to the Ghostly Manor! read more

Very scary indeed. They were similar to all the haunted houses put together at cedar point. The people are pretty into it. Get there a few minutes early for tickets and the line or get the fast lane passes if you're too late. I think they're worth it. read more

We came here last night for a good scare and enjoyed every minute! Even from the parking lot one of the actors was out there scaring people. Make sure you use the porta pot before you go. You don't want to pee your pants and it's the cleanest porta pot I've ever seen! Price was well worth it. $25 for 5 houses to go thru. They all had their own theme and own actors. The outside paths to take between house was spooky with actors and fog too. One area had so much fog you couldn't even see! Awesome! My favorite? Two things. A tube you had to squeeze thru. It was so weird! The spinning room. I swear the room was spinning!!! When your done with your scare go next door to the Mexican restaurant. It's delicious! read more

I've been trying to wrestle with words to see if I could possibly convey the crazy time we had without divulging too much and spoiling the fun. I believe it to be impossible. Suffice it to say that their efforts are impressive...enough to force a variety of alarmed and amused sounds out of the soft-spoken me through simulated environs too much for my brain and poor, thwarted senses. Weaned on channel 20 Saturday horror flicks, I assumed I'd breeze through with a few startles. Instead I found myself walking the line of freakout and loving it! I hope to return someday to take a slower trip through this dark, insane smorgasbord. The folks ahead of us were as devoid of personality as they were full of speed, and for some primal reason I felt the need to keep up with them. They also have an XD 3D theater (loved the haunted mine ride!), an arcade, and a skating rink. The huge dragon breaking through the front of the building is only the beginning. Stand too long near him taking pictures and get your first of many thrills! read more

*Disclosure: I'm a blogger who was invited here to experience it this weekend. I am so NOT a haunted house person, but I went here with friends and had a great time. I definitely did not go into the haunted house first - I stayed behind my friends - because it was SCARY! But also a good time. We also had fun playing mini golf, doing some roller skating, and seeing the 4D movie. I would return to Ghostly Manor another time when in Sandusky! read more

Awesome haunted house!!! Definitely one of my best haunted house experiences, and it only costs $11 per person if you only want the haunted house, as they have inside lots of other attractions such as skating rink, games, and mini golf. It was a quiet day for the centre, so even though there was only one or two actors scaring the crap out of me, the house itself is so well made and organised, I completely screamed and jumped through the maze. Awesome value and length, highly recommended. ** we went in with this lady and her partner and she made good company as she was practically bawling not being able make it even trough the entrance!! read more

I went with my son and his dad as a family outing. We thought it was really neat and awesome to go being in the area. We enjoyed the package for $25 for the four different activities. The golfing was somewhat interactive and everything was really need about it except for the glasses sort of kept falling off but was different. Dad and I liked the haunted house we usually aren't too scared but we jumped and really liked it. The 4D movie was somewhat short but we really enjoyed everything. I'm glad I kind of made them go and they were happy I talked him into it. $25 a person for four different short activities is worth it but if you're in a big group I hear a lot of people don't like to spend that much money read more

Zero stars isn't an option. Place was empty yet the staff couldn't be bothered to take money and make stuff work. Literally only person waiting for VR which requires an employee to set you up. Gave up waiting as employee after employee walked by and not one of them came by to set it up. Yes, I went to the front desk first and was told by a large bearded employee someone would come down and set it up. Went to get money back since nobody could be bothered setting it up and got several questions asking if I had told anyone or how long I had been waiting. Look, just give me my money back and I will be on my way. Probably normal for this town but good grief. read more

This place was wonderful. Best game in town for the family. Have you ever played 3D putt putt? I have now and it was pretty cool and trippy at the same time. How about a lazer trip line room you have to clear or a 4D combat game (freaking OUTSTANDING). Perhaps some roller skating for the kids, they have these walker type rolling braces that keep anyone up who has never skated before. read more

My girlfriend and I take our daughter here to play and some of the workers just bother me. Either rude, nasty, or lazy. The concession is outrageous in pricing. Bathrooks are filthy. But its a good time to get away and see our 2yr old smile. This place i went to as a kid and it has changed so much. Escape rooms, arcade, mini put put, 3D theater for VR, also different VR games. read more

Looking for something to do with a toddler and we settled on Ghostly Manor. We did not do the haunted house because I don't think it's toddler appropriate. We also didn't try to the skating rink. We did do the "3D" putt putt which was alright; it was fun but putt-putt isn't really my thing. The arcade was ok. The "4D" movie thing was probably the best part. But I would say everything is overpriced. They have a lot of bounce houses and a decent sized play area. If you have a couple toddlers/early elementary kids, they could probably entertain themselves for a while. All in all, I had a good time, but I do wish everything wasn't so pricey... read more

My 5 star is not because it was the best haunted house, but because it is year round. The haunted house is sweet though. And then you factor in that they have games, skating, bounce houses for kids, and I think it is truly a great place to visit. Great value! read more

First impressions are very misleading the outside looks okay but once you get inside man is it cool as hell it really is worth all the money. $30 a person isn't too much money to spend on your family to go out have a great afternoon. If there a haunted house with only one person working did this good all season I can't wait till Halloween. Way to go go see man are you got an A plus in my book I'll be back read more

Ghostly Manor Thrill Center - Amusement Parks Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

Terrible Place. Went in their for 10 mins. Was with my boyfriend. We are experienced skaters and came from Toledo. My boyfriend had asked for a skate tool to fix his skates which, at a place for skating said by the manager Kendal "We have to dig it out because we don't use them". First of all that's a safety hazard. You need tools to tighten skates as it is a safety tool for skating for all skates PER OHIO REGULATIONS. Then we asked for a refund and was told by Kendal that "It's your problem your skate is loose, you should've rented from us". We then proceeded to ask for a refund and Kendal had said that we had to wait. She was very disrespectful, argued with us it that it was our fault that they didn't have a OHIO REGULATED tool, was getting close to touching us and was calling us disrespectful. A parent then argued with us because "his problem is more important". Kendal had then proceeded to say "Who are you, don't cut me off, bye now, bye, bye, bye". As a manager of 3 years in customer service, that is not how you handle a situation. When your company is so tight on money such as this place, and cheap people out of refunds, then you should know there will be trouble. During the conflict, the worker (Black female with dreads, with a cartilage piercing, as we didn't catch her name fully, it started with a Bry..), had said to us "Shut up bitch, your being the disrespectful ass". Both women were utterly disrespectful and unprofessional and should not go unnoticed, ESPECIALLY AROUND CHILDREN. I would never recommend this place to anyone. I would not want my children around such disrespectful and petty workers.All we asked for was a tool and a refund and it turned into a dramatic petty fight because of the attitudes of the workers and Kendal, the manager. Not LGBTQ+ friendly either. Thank you. Never again. read more

I have visited this establishment a few times and never had an issue until today. We had a family birthday party and spent several hundred dollars. After the party one of my boys wanted a soda. I took him to the counter to order him and I a drink. A middle aged mad with poor hygiene asked if he could help me. I said yes I would like a large Diet Pepsi and a small regular Pepsi. He looked me in the eye and said two large pepsies. I said no, and repeated my order. He fill the drinks and sat them in front of me and said that will be 5.86. I said something must be wrong with either the register or the menu screen because it's about 2 dollars too much. I looked at the drinks and they were two large drinks. I re-told him my order again and his exact words were "that's what you ordered I verified it". I then told him again the order and another worker walk up and he said "this is what he ordered I verified it". He looked at me and smiled and said "whatever that's what you ordered". At this point he has messed up and was just trying to get me to pay for it and was acting inappropriately in a business that caters to children. My son asked me why the guy would not give us our drinks that we ordered and that he was thirsty. He is 7 and does not need a large Pepsi and would not have drank that much. Upset I got a manager and she made the drinks for us with no issues. I am not sure why it was so hard for the guy and thought later maybe he was on the spectrum and I was over reacting. Later I walked passed him and he continued talking trash to me in front of my son. A friend of mine and my wife's worked there and felt I might be over reacting. I reassured her it was incredibly poor customer service in a childrens establishment and to watch the security footage. He should have been fired on the spot. I won't be returning to this place unless I can confirm they dealt with their middle-aged unkept orderly worker that I watched stare at little girls roller skating with his tongue hanging out. read more

Like the unique look and the mini golf was cool in that it would make noise and the 3D was cool. But needs a refresh in carpet and paint and dark inside. read more

ghostly mannor is a side attraction that has allot to be desired, maybe its better during Halloween. ANyways Ill revoew everything as it comes. 3d motion theather: Kinda meh the chairs move slightly and there is wind. They call it 6d but I don't see how it counts. Wizards journey: Miniture golf holes where of but the story and screens where freakin cheesy as a.f Ghosstly mannor: Majorly anamatornic scares and one actor at the time of the review. The attraction was good. and it ranks as one of the better haunts Ive been to. HOW EVEr its not the best. MOst of the scares where kinda lame. But eh its off season read more

This has to be the worst place we have gone since being here.... recommendation dont waste your money. The staff is rude and unhelpful didnt have saftey skates for little kids they expected a 2 year old to use normal skates. Save your money and go to the go cart track down the road a tons better for your money and child friendly. Or even better the water park kahria has a great kid friendly arcade. We had people handing us cards telling use the games are set so you dont win. We gave our cards away because of the rude staff. If there was a way to leave negative stars I would. read more
