I haven't been to a haunted house in quite a while, and last night's venture out to Hush Haunted Attraction (HHA) was a nice welcome back.
Me and my girlfriend stopped at a nearby restaurant, ensuring that we arrived 20-30 minutes before HHA opened, which is at 7:00 p.m. I ordered the tickets online, debating whether or not I should go with the general admission with access to all 4 haunted attractions in the general admission wait line, OR purchase one of the two choices for a faster admission. However, since I knew we'd arrive 25 minutes early I didn't see the point in paying an extra $10-20 (depending upon whether you get the "fast" or "immediate" admission) to get in 5-10 minutes earlier. That being said, IF we were arriving much later than 7:45 I WOULD recommend one of the faster admission tickets, as those lines did receive some VIP treatment as far as being ushered in more expeditiously than the general admission ticketholders.
Now, the haunts! The actors were amazing - never breaking character and were as creepy/scary as you can be without physically interacting with guests. As good as they were, it was the set design and props that really won me over.
A lot of detail must have gone into the set design and flow of the 4 attractions, as we went from one to the next fairly seamlessly. There were quite a number of jump scares, and my girlfriend confided that near the end she was looking for an exit to cry due to being overstimulated (a good thing for a haunted house, but not so great for her in the moment). There is one HUGE scare (at least for us) when an actor came barreling out of a spot you just KNEW someone was hiding behind, but it didn't matter. She got us GOOD.
If I were a drinker (me and my girl are not) we likely would have made more of an evening of it, spending time in the 3 "secret bars" throughout the attraction. Just a quick FYI - if all members of your party are not 21+, you cannot venture to the secret bars.
This is a really nice spot for some haunted spooks. I wouldn't necessarily drive more than 40-45 minutes to get here, but if you're less than an hour away I think it's a great way to kick off or end your evening, particularly for couples and groups of couples, who can go to dinner somewhere nearby, and then get some scares at HHA and spend time in the secret bars. read more
