Pretty bad. Paid 40 bucks for 6 attractions. The hayride was an absolute JOKE, hardly any actors and very limited scares. Clown carnival was pretty fun, not too many actors but you got lost a few times before finding your way out. Zombie portion was OK, pretty cool special effects. Other attractions were mediocre w limited scares. I gave an extra star bc the actors that were there gave a legit effort in trying to provide screams and staff was very nice. Will not be back. read more

This place was pretty below average... They're known for having a ton of attractions but they they all suck and are severely under staffed. Let me just put it like this, when it comes to haunted attractions Quality over quantity is important ... They have the potential to be good but they lack in so many areas. In the haunted hayride they ONLY had one actor at like every small set up. So it was impossible to scare anyone. Maybe if they combined the attractions or hired more staff, it would work out. I wouldn't go back but that's just me... read more

Waste of time and money....worst haunted attraction I've ever been to. Lack of characters lame displays...nothing scary about it. Zombieland was nothing more than a dark maze with little attractions read more

I grew up coming here but haven't been in the past few years. I was very excited to go back. I wonder if it's under new management or something because this past trip very different than what I remember. Sad to say, Jason's woods was a complete let down. read more

I would rate it no stars but yelp made me chose at least one..i travel to different locations to go to halloween haunts each year and this was the WORSTTTT experience I have ever had..I traveled 2 1/2 hours to not get scared at all this place is a joke..I wrote on there facebook wall complaining and they wrote me back in private message asking if I was "fucking" crazy to write something like that on their wall and expect it to not be deleted !!! Don't waste your money go somewhere else read more

This place was a waste of my time, money, & frankly my energy. I drove from MD to visit which we have done to many haunted attractions in the past & never have I been so let down. They had maybe 5 real people/actors in the 5 attractions we went through. I didn't jump or scream a single time. 3 of the attractions your basically walking around in the dark but yet nothing jumps out at you, bangs on the wall, or even scary music to make you think that something is going to happen. Don't waste any time or money going there. I can't believe it's still open! read more

This place was absolutely horrible. Spent $108 for a crappy time. Bought tickets online with VIP and when we got there, there were no lines at all so $20 for two vip was a waste of money! The carnival attraction had only two people that did absolutely NOTHING. Everything about it SUCKED! Field of Screams isn't much better but I'd rather spend my money there again for the 4th time than to ever go to Jason's Woods again! read more

This is by far the worst place yet. It was not worth my 88.00 dollars period and wasted gas for a two hour trip. All the attractions were poorly lit with little to no actors. The actors that were there were out of character and only wore a Walmart mask. There was only four food vendors. The music was terrible. I am usually the one who gets scared the most during these things but it overall was terrible. read more

None better than the original. I've happened to notice an unfair balance between the reviews of Jason's Woods and their main competitor Field of Screams. If you'll scroll down to the bottom of the reviews and click on filtered reviews, you'll notice that all of the positive reviews of Jason's Woods have been filtered out. Now, if you go to Field of Screams page and scroll down to the bottom of the reviews and click on the filtered reviews, you'll notice that most of the negative reviews have been filtered out. I could understand if it was just a few good reviews and few bad reviews on each that were filtered out but all good and all bad seems a bit fishy. Now, before this turns into some conspiracy theory themed review I'd like to give my own opinion on each. I can honestly tell you that I have never been to Field of Screams and haven't given a review on their page based on that fact alone. I've known many people who have gone and have heard good reviews and bad. I've been told that's nothing more than a bunch of volunteer high school kids screaming through masks and grabbing people with no originality and little change throughout the years. I've also been told that it's the best attraction in the area and then some. I couldn't tell you which one is more accurate because as I said I haven't been there. As far as Jason's Woods goes I can give you an honest review because I have a few times over the years. Jason's Woods prides itself in the fact that it was one of the first in the business. I've found this fact has been both a benefit and a hindrance to it. A benefit in the way that it shows it's experience in the way that it handles it's customers and the overall operation of the attraction and also how innovative and original it can be with new ideas and attractions. As long as I've been going there has always been a new attraction or a new spin on an old one every year. This keeps it interesting for the customers which in turn keeps the return customers coming year after year. As far as the negative aspect of it sometimes it shows it's age in the older attractions and props. Some look a little weathered and some sit in disrepair. Overall, Jason's Woods has it's good years and bad years but based on all the new stuff listed on their website for this year, and all the good experiences I've had with them in the past, I can definitely tell you I will be returning this year. P.S. Normally I wouldn't give higher than 4 stars because there is always room for improvement but the other reviews were so unfairly negative and unbalanced that I couldn't help but give 5 just to try and balance it out. read more

Although the hayride is well done, standing in line in the cold for three hours killed it. This place is badly managed. There was only one ticket window ans apparently half the tractor drivers decided not to come to work. I'm sorry but until I hear of some improvements, I will not return. I paid for 3 events and after the hayride and a lame haunted house I said screw the last event and went home. I was feezing and had to pee, but not bad enough to use the spot a pots which were over flowing. read more

Hello, Can I just say wow..... I was excited all year long,( Since the last time I visited ) to get back to Jason's woods and have thought what better time than for my birthday... Notice ( 21... Preffered Jason's woods over drinking) This spooktacular amusement center is for most the best I have been to for more than one reason, The last time I went to another aka ( Pennhurst asylum) I was sick for days due to there lack of keeping it a decorated but yet clean environment. At Jason's woods its was a clean well blooded up place for which I am very happy I will not be sick for the next few days after have gone last night! Now being an author of a genre topic of horror aka ( Tuck me in Terrors by: Jeremy Joseph Jack) I have a very twisted and demented mind set which this place met my expectations and my pro monologue... They set it up so its no longer a horror story but you in fact are the star victim, if you scared of the dark well you should be here with every corner turned there's a chance of being scared out of ur whitts. I don't scare easy but will admit I had to hold my mothers hand at age 21.. Not because I am dramatic but because of all the hard work they put into insuring that you see the realisticness of if in fact it was real, just let me say leave reality at the parking lot because when you step through that first attraction and the goosebumps climb your body you are part of a live horror flick and get ready because you will not be coming back until the woods are done with you! With that being said Yas I give Jason's Woods a five star because this is the only place I will travel for and am already thinking of returning this season for another round of fright and for all my fans, Family ,and friends, looking for a great thing to do on the weekend think you'd better check it out! And don't forget to come see Sting on Saturday evening October 10!! Aka ( Monster Truck by the driver Zane Rettew) and than have some spooky fun, and not too mention all six attractions (values of 60 dollars a person) are only one low price of 40 $ each !!! Like really I love this place! Don't make me tell you twice visit GPS us 99 Stehman Rd. Lancaster PA, 17603 . Telephone: 717-875-5110 Sincerely very satisfied tourist, Author of books Tuck me in Terrors, and Wiccan Envy The Tales Of Kurk Burnswick....

one of the best haunted attractions around! friendly & helpful staff, great characters! the employees definitely tried their best with covid restrictions! definitely a place you don't have to worry about taking your kids too! read more

Complete and total waste of money. Staff was nice, but no scares there. Animatronics grossly outdated. Wasted $300 for daughter birthday. Left there and went to Field of Screams. Very expensive evening to say the least! Would give it 0 stars if I could... read more

Place is a complete joke. I have been to many haunted attractions and this one is a joke, poorly done and executed. Not many actors at all, mostly walking through mazes in the dark and props. Don't waste your money. 50 bucks should have costed more like 10 read more

not scary at all, a lot of the costumes look cheap, and the actors broke character a lot. still cool to look at, and the staff was very nice, just not scary. probably wouldn't go again. read more

Arrived at 730 on Friday evening ,purchase hay ride ticket 16.00 each , we were in the first 70 people on line .waited for the hay wagon . first wagon filled up with VIP ticket holders still waiting .this went on for a full hour and 15 minutes.employee explained no movement on our side of line until VIP line was empty.After 1hour and 20 minutes had 18 minute ride which was a total disappointment .not even a good as they have been in the past .time to look elsewhere for Halloween fun read more

I had very high expectations of this haunted house! I was soooo let down. This was by far the WORST haunted attraction I have ever been to!! I drove the 2 1/2 hrs from no to see this attraction and again I was sooo let down! This place shouldn't have made it 30 yrs and I can't imagine how it did. They had bouncy house style inflatables for the front of ever haunted attraction. The actors were horrible most of them were actually texting during the walk through. The hay ride was a joke they played the Halloween music from Jason and had people in zombie masks. Actually I think it was the same actor in just about every spot of the hayride! Very limited staff which made most of it just a walk through.. The clown house was just filled with smoke and jail bars. Made it just an easy maze with 2 clowns following u around. Let's not forget that I paid for the VIP tickets and they let other regular lines go first!!! What a joke that was! Horrible experience!!!! I'd never go there again!!!! There is another haunt close by and thank god their was. Just my opinion but I wouldn't waste the time or money at this place! I'll never get those 2 hrs of my life back again! read more

A group of my friends and I decided to try out Jasons Woods. My one friend suggested it and I told her that I haven't heard such great things about it. We figured it was only 20 bucks with the $5 off coupon. If it wasn't that great then it wasn't a huge waste of money and it was something to do for a night. When we got there there was literally only 100 or so people. It was a dead night and I think the actors (err lack of actors) knew that and didn't work as hard. It was not scary at all. My boyfriend had scared me more than the attractions. The hayride was a complete waste of time. There were probably 8 actors total during the entire ride. They rely too much on props. The barn and the pirates revenge relied heavily on props as well but also roaming around in the dark was a large part of each of these attractions. I feel no need to ever go back there again in my entire life. And if you want your moneys worth go elsewhere. read more

Okay so this isn't as bad as some as the reviews but they did a very poor job with some of the house. First off, don't be cheap and buy the VIP. This will save you probably over 2 hours of waiting. Second, I would recommend the 6 show combo because you get some of the better houses. Anyway, here are my reviews. 1. Chamber Of Horrors 0/5 Screams This was absolutely awful. A total eyesore. The took an old storage container and put random halls with random props. I counted 2 actors. 2. Haunted Hayride 3/5 Screams A lot better than the Chamber of Horrors but still not enough actors. Plenty of fire, and some good makeup, but not enough. 3. Walk Through Jasons Woods 3/5 Screams This one was badly planned around the Hayride, and you spent the entire time walking around props and fire. Still, pretty good. 4. Zombie Apocalypse 4/5 Screams The best house in the 6 Show Combo! Nice facade and plenty of actors. Very dark! 5. Corn Maze. 3/5 Screams So, this ones not exactly a maze, but you still get the same feeling. They have indoor areas which are definitely very good! Not enough actors though!! You need more than 3 actors in a haunted house!! 6. Carnival of Fear 2/5 Bad actors, pointless maze.. OVERALL 3/5 Screams Would not come back read more

I have to say that the $240 I spent for my family to come Saturday on my daughters 12th birthday was mainly a waste. I had such high hopes and they were all let down. After doing Shocktoberfest 3 years ago and Field Of Screams 2 years in a row we decided to do a new place this year. I read so so reviews about the lack of "actors" but figured they went on off nights. We were that at 7:15 and started going in to the attractions around 8. The 1st one had 6, I counted. The hayride was a joke. We were the 6 upfront on the right side. It was not until one of the last 4 stops that 1 person came to our side and that was a chainsaw man who went all around the entire thing. Then the 1 after that came "near" the 4th one down in our group then that was it. We were completely ignored. Lost in Jasons Woods was better then we went to Fields of fright and there were only 3, yes 3 that we saw. At the 1 trailer thing I said is anyone in there and nothing then 20 seconds later after we walked up just a bit we heard the chainsaw and went back and someone was going after the group behind us, and there were other people in the group with us. When walking around to Zombie the people coming out the door were complaining. We said is this one better and they said no, and then asked if it was suppose to be like this. I told them 1st time here. People behind us said this sucks. Zombie had some "actors" but they went from 1 side to the other so it was a 50/50 chance if you got to see em, and they were mostly all behind walls with bars.. Lastly carnival was all "actors" in masks. This could have been great but there were just not enough actors.. Very disappointed.. PS- THEY REMOVE EVERY BAD POST ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE.. I LEFT MINE MORE THAN ONCE AND THEY ALWAYS DELETED IT. I RESPONDED ON 2 OTHERS FROM THE SAME WEEKEND AND THEIRS WAS REMOVED NEXT DAY TOO. read more

This is long and detailed. If you don't have the patience, the tl;dr is: not recommended. My wife and I visited Jason's Woods on 10/16. Being Halloween/Haunted attraction geeks, and seeing that it was rated as one of the top haunted attractions in the state, we were excited. That quickly turned to disappointment. We had opted for the "6 show VIP pass" which is in the $50 per person range. Not being from the area, we wanted to see everything they had to offer in one visit with minimal wait times. We figured the extra money for the front of line access was worth an extra $10 per person. we arrived to find that the event wasn't packed. We still had priority entry, but it was hardly necessary with the number of people in attendance that night. I've read the attraction does get very busy so if you intend to go, I still recommend the upgrade. Now in addition to the 6 attractions (3 haunted house walk thrus, the hayride, corn maze, and woods trek), there is a free "pre-show." Basically it's a holding area intended to hold large groups for 15 minutes or so to avoid the "conga line" that haunted attractions so often are plagued with. But it is, put simply, bad. The poor girl that has to try and "entertain" the group (more than half of which have shown up drunk) - the night we were there, the small group we were with was nearly mutinous. I'm sure on busy nights, she has to endure verbal abuse. The bad script, and the fact that she has to do it by herself with no one to play off of just makes it an impossible thankless job. The people around me were all complaining - not the atmosphere you want at the start. In the interest of being spoiler free (and this review is already too long), I'm not going to go into story specifics of houses, but the very first one that I entered after the pre-show, I was hit with my pet peeve in any themed attraction - blank theater flat walls. these are 4 to 8 foot sections of wall that are either painted black or have black fabric on them. this house had several "hallways" that were just blank flats. sure they all led to a scene that was more detailed, but having no thematic decoration on these walls is just lazy. Also lazy: Store bought masks. You will see plenty of these. After this house, I lowered my expectations drastically, and had a much better time. But, on the whole, all of the attractions are too sparsely populated - not nearly enough scare actors per attraction. Their best attraction (Zombie Apocalypse) really only works because its in almost complete darkness. But its more disorienting than scary. other than the main attractions, there was a live band playing, a laser tag area, monster truck rides, and 3 "mini" houses. Other than the band, these all required additional fees so we skipped them. Jason's Woods has been doing this for 30 years. I was expecting awesome, and got mediocre at best. My wife insisted she had a good time, but I think that was her just trying to make me feel better about the money we spent. There are better options in the area. read more

Very disappointing this year. So bad we left after the hay ride even though we had a grand slam ticket. Hardly any performers and the ones that they had were not into it at all. There was nothing scary at all. read more

My bf took me to Jason's Woods two weeks ago, we thought it would be scary but it was horrible. There was hardly anyone there and it was on a saturday night. The tickets cost way to much for what they provide for you. The first thing they make you do is watch a twenty min video on the supposed monsters you will meet. Throughout the entire thing we haden't even met half of them.Next, was a dark room, where you cant see anything that they call a maze. Freddy ocasionally poped out and at the exit Michael Myers stood. He poked my bf with his plastic knife and held it there, not scary at all. Next was the hayride, the worst. The tractor broke down and they could not fix it,so after waiting twenty min we got onto another one. Very short, nothing scary. Next was there barn of terror, few actors, pitch dark again, my bf hit his head on the wall from it being so dark. After this was a pirate themed attraction, the pirates were quiet not scary. One pirate girl stuck her face so close to mine, her check touched mine, way to close for comfort. Last and so least was the clown attraction. Me and my bf were the only two that went in it ,since everyone els had left from being so disapointed with the place. Total darkness, clowns that act like there drunk, so stupid. Me and a girl dressed up as a clown got in an argument because i told her how stupid it was that everything was total darkness, and how was the dark and nothing els suppose to scare you? when i got in her face she said nothing at all. There extremly rude here and only want you to waste your money. This is the worst haunted house i have ever been to. Someone warned me not to go because of how badley it sucked but i didnt listen, i should of. read more

Hi! My name is Rachel. I just visited the paranormal bus tour attraction last night. I just have some few comments regarding the attraction. , the attraction overall as a whole was kind of misleading... my girlfriend and i drove 2 hours from new jersey with a completely different expectation. The way it was set up on the website and described on the website def makes it seem as though you will go through a walk through of the mill and experience a paranormal investigation experience.. if i had known all it would be was a haunted house then I would have saved the 80 dollars and 2 hour drive and found somewhere close to home.. NOT saying that it wasn't pretty scary going through the mill and having ppl jump out at you. But as someone who is really interested in paranormal investigations, I was extremely excited to having the chance to experience this at the mill. I was def let down due to the misleading comments on the website describing the attraction.. whoever designed that page might want to re think how it is written and presented to the public. also.. it was made to seem as thought it would be packed with people...so i spent the 40 bucks for my girlfriend and i, totaling 80 bucks for the VIP tickets...meanwhile...we get there and there are barely any people there.. so needless to say i felt like a moron for traveling the 2 hours for something that was not what i was told it would be on the website AND i'm out 80 bucks and the money for gas to get there and back. i'm not trying to sound like an asshole, just letting you know of the issues i had with this whole thing so that you might save someone else from traveling so far for basically a haunted house attraction.. If we lived closer i think it might have been less of a big deal to me, but to travel so far and have paid so much money for this i must say i am extremely disappointed.. they really need to change the description of the attraction and make it known to be a haunted house walk through not a "ghost walk" which in the past I have experienced as a chance to walk through and try to experience paranormal activity... REAL paranormal activity..not people jumping out at you and making loud noises.. read more

Went to Jason's woods last night, by far the WORST haunted attraction I've ever been too. Heard a lot of hype about how good this place was so bought the VIP tickets online. Funny enough there was no lines to get in let alone lines for the attractions. No line to get in on a Friday night! Should've taken the hint right there. Do not waste your time or money on this place they shouldn't even be read more

Myself and four of my friends decided to take the drive to Jason's Woods last night! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ! Not only was it extremely predictable and not scary in the least, the staff is extremely rude. We had a terrible experience and I will never give them my business again. After paying $325 for VIP PASSES; HUGE MISTAKE for the five of us which included 3 pathetic excuses for scares, and a haunted bus tour that was falsely advertised I am warning you to go somewhere else. read more

I'd say if you're below the age of 11, this is quite a fun thing to do. Overall my experience was, at best, "Meh."

my family and i go to at least one or two attractions each year sorta a family tradition,, this year we went to jasons woods after hearing so much about it we were excited! we bought the vip passes which was a HUGE mistake the lines werent all that long, we were not happy with the scare time that this attraction provided.. alot of props and not enough people that jumped out at you in my opinion (my sisters boyfriend went ahead of us and he seriously scared us more than any of their actors) they had new actors in the commercial but we never saw any of them which was very disappointing! needless to say we wont be back read more

Absolutely terrible. Lines are huge, actors are half hearted entertainers. This was a huge disappointment. I called to speak to a manager, as expected no one called back. You can tell this place is just trying to make as much money quickly without spending money. Pay actors cheap pay, cheap props, cheap everything except this tickets. The theater they force u to go into is very cheesy, it's like a homemade video about zombies where one guy is dressed like Benjamin Franklin. Once you are done that they take you on a very cheesy hayride the guy comes around w a big plastic fake sword and slowly tries to get each person. He might as well have been serving appetizers. The music the play at each; I would call stop, so one actor can come out and say BOO it's very poor quality is turned up to loud and you can't even hear what is says besides that being the only screams u hear. Field of screams is a way better production. It will scare you like crazy. The actors are amazing. I would recommend the hayride and zombie attraction where u walk through the woods, it's terrifying. If you are coming long distance please do not waste your time on this place! I couldn't say one good thing about it. There is also a haunted hay ride in Medford,Nj I went to that was good, very impressive props were great. read more

Had a blast! !! Me and my bf went last yr, he wasn't scared threw most of it, but I was! This was my first real haunted attraction,so I had fun! read more

To be dead honest. I went to field of screams last year and fos had more detail but long waits in line. And had lil kids as actors in parts. It wasnt scary at all. So i hoped jasons wouldbe better but it sure wasnt. Theres no detail. The beginning was dumb and weird. For $40 it was NOT WORTH IT. The scariest parts were only when u walk in pitch black. Buteven that was nothin but walking and nothin coming. Theres alota looong walks and stretches of nothin but u walking. For $40 a person it should be alot more detail and alot more scarey alot more... I could go to six flags and spend alll day there and have a ball for that kinda money. I went at 7 and was done with all SIX THINGS by 830. Waste of gas and waste of $100. For all its hyped up to be its a major let down and no band showed up. If they wanna stay in business n continue ripping people off they better do their homework. For something thts been goin 30 years its disappointing very. Field of screams had only 3 things and its a tiny bit better. Both aren't worth it. Im sure six flags Halloween thing is better and the penitentiary in philly may be. I even seen 5 year old kids not even scared once. If u cant scare a kid how are u gonna scare a adult. They need more hidden stuff and better themes totally. The name doent fit the actions. Lame lame. Jus being honest. $$40 for a hour n a half is bull. I scared my gf there more than the actors did. Jus grabbing her unexpected n alil boo. Thats bad. Oh and lastly.... They expect alota people to attend so they offer the vip. Well why is there only 8 or so small picnic tables to sit n eat??? And not many choices of food and lousy coffee. Me n my gf had to literally stand up n eat everything we ordered. I guess u gotta be vip to even sit and eat. For $40 everyone should be vip. Very boring night my gf was lookin forward to goin to a haunted place so long. She gets scared easily and they BARELY SCARED HER ONCE. I went for her to have fun n we were let down. BIG TIME. Any homemade one can top that place read more

After the first 2 items on our list, I demanded a refund. I remember coming to Jason's Woods a few years back and it was amazing, packed with people, celebrities walking around, Jason, Freddy, great actors. Now.... when I got there it was a ghost town, I thought it was just because I came a little early to avoid the lines, by 9, it was still dead. The band was horrible, and the "haunted attractions" looked like bounce houses from the outside and the zombie apocalypse is just a dark maze with cheap props, actors who will sit and hold a conversation with you instead of doing what they are suppose to and the outside looks cheap with some wallpaper slapped on. It was my sisters first time going and I was so excited to take her, bragged about it the whole way, when we go there we were sorely disappointed. The corn maze again was littered with cheap props and had like 3 actors just walking around, didn't even attempt to scare. I am absolutely terrified of clowns and decided that maybe if I went first in there twisted carnival area, that maybe I would be a little bit scared... nope. Even the clowns sucked. I guess people yelling in your ear is suppose to be scary. I will never go back to that place, not unless they go back to the way they were. I didn't pay to go deaf by the end of the night by people yelling, I paid to be scared. There was only 1 person, ONE, the entire night who screamed, and it was only because she was like 10. Everyone else just looked like zombies. Emotionless, if you don't count anger and disappointment. read more

I almost didn't go to Jason Woods after reading some of the reviews posted. Luckily I ended up going anyways, and loved it!! It was plenty scary,(my throat is still sore from screaming) I got the 6 package for $40.My favorite part was the hayride and the chamber of horrors. I will definitely go back next year.My only complaint is the IDIOTS who think its ok to bring their 3, 4, or 5 year old kids here. ( What are they thinking??? ) Had to listen to a 3yr old girl crying in line behind me, begging her parents to get her out of this place. (Of course they didn't, just threatened her they would stay longer if she didn't stop crying) Nice, huh. read more

Do not waste your money, I wish I would have read reviews first! Boring and most of it is mazes in buildings you cant see but hardly any actors to try to at least scare you.... This place has way way too much hype, I was bored. Got online tix with VIP for whole attraction 64$ per person. Definately overpriced ( ticket prices are the scariest thing there ).... Dont waste your money because if you do you will regret it read more

I have been to just about every Haunted House on the east coast in the past 25 years so I feel i am very qualified to review these attractions. I will review all that i have been to so look for my reviews everywhere. I plan my OCT each year around haunted Houses. I am very fair in my reviews as well and feel they are accurate. This review is for JASON'S WOODS. I have been here two times over the past 4 years as with most that i visit so that i can be fair if they had a bad night. Well both times were almost exactly the same. Average at best. Here are my thoughts. First i will start wioth the lines, i think they are about average as far as these attractions go. The first stop was the Theater and i dont know why they call this an "Extra Attraction" because it is nothing. There are some cool props in there but i was bored out of my mind after 1 min of viewing the props. After that the thing they call the "Mystery Maze" WHAT A JOKE. More like Mystery 2 min wood wall walk through with no props or actors. They should just take these down as they add nothing. Barn of Terror once again average at best nothing special at all. Pirates Revenge felt like a better version of the Mystery maze. A couple cool things here and there but nothing that stood out. The Horrifying Hayride was BY FAR the best part of this entire attraction. i will say the hay ride is a little above average for sure but nothing compared to the two best hayrides on the east coast which i will not mention because I don't want people to think i am promoting any house in particular. Def some cool props and animatronics on the ride and the actors were pretty good. lastly lost in Jason's Woods was back to being as average as they come. It was ultra muddy both times I went so be sure to wear really old shoes. They advertise 5 attractions but to be realistic it is 3. I cant really talk about anything that stood out at this place because it was all so average. there is WAY WAY too much hype on this place. It simply does not deliver. I wish i could give it a 21/2 instead of a 3 but since I cant i just gave it a 3. Look for my other reviews. read more

It is a complete embarrassment that this place has been open for 30 years. Back in 2008, I came here for the first time. I enjoyed it then, probably because I was in middle school. Now, this place has become a pile of trash. Instead of putting in the time and energy to build a detailed façade for each attraction, they decided to blow up a bounce-house style inflatable façade for their attractions. The Chamber of Horrors was not even 5 minutes long, with only a few rooms with a few actors. It looked like it was put together in 2 days. The hayride was an EMBARASSMENT. When they said that they doubled the size of their hayride, you wouldn't think that you would turn around and go by the same skits, only from behind. However, this is exactly what happened. The Lost in Jason's Woods was ridiculous. I expected to be deep in the woods for this attraction, but in reality, you could see the main road from this trail. The Fields of Fright was a long, boring walk through a cornfield. Sure, there were some skits, but the were the same ones that you already saw on the hayride. There were also actors that would "try" to scare you. But (surprise surprise) they were the same actors that you already saw on the hayride. If the real zombie apocalypse is the same as the Jason's Woods Zombie Apocalypse, we'll all be just fine. All we'll need is some flashlights. The Carnival of Fear had decent actors, but the scenery was not a clown attraction should be. Put these clown actors in a real funhouse, and it would be a good attraction. Finally, the three mini attractions were a complete waste of time. All in all, I will not return to Jason's Woods until there is a complete overhaul in management and actors. Go to Field of Screams, go to Shocktoberfest, go to Bates Motel, go to Terror Behind the Walls, go to Pennhurst, go to Kim's Krypt Haunted Mill, go to your own backyard. All of them will be better and scarier than this attraction. This was a waste of time, and it was a waste of 80 dollars. Good job Jason's Woods, you've managed to haul in customers purely off of name value at this point. read more

If I could leave no stars, I would. First of, I should have sensed it wasn't going to be a good experience from the lack of people there on a Friday in late October. There was hardly a line for any attraction. So deff. do not buy VIP tickets. I wish I would have left at that point but I decided to give this place a chance. My friends and I decided to do 3 attractions for $25. Those 3 are the Hayride, Zombie Apocalypse, and the Chamber of Horros. The hayride is down right pathetic. One actor or two actors in each skit. Acting is sad. There's no suspense or element of surprise anywhere. I kept waiting for more actors to pop up but I was left disappointed. Actors were not even loud enough to be heard unless they were right next to you. The Zombie Apocalypse was nothing but stumbling through the dark. Honestly I could have walked in the cornfields nearby and would have been more scared than I was in this attraction. Hardly any actors and because of the lack of scenery in any of the "rooms" you know exactly where there going to come out to scare you. It's nothing but black walls and having to feel your way through. The Chamber of Horrors was basically the same. Theres no really apparent theme in either of the buildings. Just the lack of scenery really ruins it. If you enjoy stumbling in the dark for $25 then this is the ace for you. Spend the extra bucks and go to Field of Screams. read more

Went with a group 10/12/13 & I was disappointed. We had been a couple times when it first opened, some 15 years ago, and it was very good back then. We were really looking forward to going again. Not sure what happened but it is not worth the money anymore. Maybe we just picked a bad night. There were not many people there. I felt a little sorry for people who wasted money on the VIP passes as there were really no lines for them to jump ahead on. The worst was that actors/characters were few and far between. Many years ago they would have multiple characters coming after you at a time, especially on the hay rides, and they would jump onto the wagon and really get in your face. This time you were lucky to have even one at a time coming after you, and they were not scary at all. Most of the time was spent going through mazes in the dark with nothing even jumping out to scare you. Save your money. People we went with said the Field of Screams was much better. Luckily we were with a good group, so we still had fun, even though it was not worth the money. If you have young kids who scare easily, it might be good for them. read more

This place sucks! To bad there's no way to give it negative stars! At every attraction, the guests are herded along like cattle, eliminating the surprise factor. The field of fright is a joke. You zig zag back and forth in a cornfield that is compact and barely has any cornstalks (which barely reach 5 foot tall). Very short with few actors. The hayride is lame. You know when something is going to happen because the wagon stops in front of each set and waits for the actors, which also was few. The carnival attraction is a cheap operation. It's a set of 2 rooms in a tent that zig zag back and forth in pitch black making guests feel their way with their hands. The only reason people were screaming was because it was so tight with so many people, everyone was running into and touching each other. I only counted a total of 4 actors. This place is a waste of money that's far out in the middle of nowhere and not worth the drive. The only reason they should even get one star is because what few actors they did have in the attractions actually did put forth effort. I will never return in the future and will discourage anyone from even thinking about spending money here. The 50 bucks for 6 crappy attractions is a perfect example of quantity over quality. read more

My family and I have visited Jason's Woods for the last three years or so. Every year we find something entertaining and fun that my kids and I talk about for ages. While the drive might be a bit hard to get to (even with the dozen or more signs), the scenic drive through Lancaster countryside is as spooky as it gets. The lines might have been a bit long at times but plenty of entertainment from clowns, music, and comedians entertained us. The staff was friendly and courteous from the parking lot to the ticket takers. The museum lacked a bit of scares but the darkness of some of the smaller shows made for a frightening time. My kids wanted to go on it again. The hayride was well themed last year but the older themes have been better. The actors makeup and dress fit them extremely well. Also, at other shows in the area many of the actors tug or pull on you to get you to scream if you don't react. Jason's Woods gives you space while still being in your face and turning a nerve. The effects and sound were amazing. The kids still talk about making flaming machines in the backyard (NOOOO!). If you want wholesome, scary family entertainment for your money go to Jason's Woods. They've been doing it for years and there is a reason why. read more
