All guests navigate through chaos and scream in the darkness, finding comfort in friends or "a new friend" along the way. The only thing you hear, but only after reaching the safety of the sidewalk, is the pounding footsteps. Run, don't walk, to the exit! Finally, escaping the maze alive, you'll receive a treat from the cauldron as witches stir their brew. But be ready to be asked, "Are you still brave enough to return to the maze again?" Remember, it's only on Halloween night! Tomorrow is November 1st.

The staff are very passionate about their work (they scared us before we even entered the premise) and even the most stoic people in our group got freaked out. One thing to note: online it says it opens at 7:00 but it is actually 7:30. Also, it is recommended to go in small groups so if you're coming as a big group, be aware that it'll be more fun to split up.

October 2025…read more... Another Halloween season of driving from Sacramento all the way to San Jose to experience Bernal Scream again! We're pretty dedicated fans of this Haunt and they never disappoint! The props are really well executed. Actors stay in character and really perform in a way that is curated well. Security measures are present and it always feels like a safe environment despite the screams and fun. I enjoyed 2024' location, I enjoyed 2025' location... I have one gripe that..... might give away one of the areas during the walk-thru experience.... For 2025... It was held at the fairgrounds and you get your tickets, walk inside to the lined waiting areas and wait to be called for entry. Once we entered the haunt, just the 2 of us, it was a series of different rooms to walk thru, experience the "theme" of each area, actors are spread out within the venue for that extra scare... One of my hesitations with any haunt.... it's not the actors, props, setups, or darkness...... it's usually having to face the unknown of what might be a scare presented as a phobia. For 2025, there was an area that had from what I could see.... like plastic prop style snakes, and that's a real phobia for people. Obviously, this is my issue to deal with personally, but it would be nice to not encounter a snake effect during haunts. That room scared me the most, and although I knew logically they weren't real, it's a real phobia, a real scare, and an elevated heart rate that I didn't want to experience. We will continue to support and enjoy Bernal! The team does amazing work! But please..... if reading this, take that into consideration. Other than that..... thank you for offering another great year of scares!

It was a fun little night out. But there was almost nothing in the mazes. The actors were fine, but…read morereally they should've just put both mazes into one because they're so little decorations and so many areas. I feel like it was very tailored towards kids and it was very overpriced for what you got. The one thing I will say that's very nice now granted we chose Vip. Was not having any other people near you and it seemed like they did a fairly good job doing that to the general line as well. It was also a bummer having to pay $20 just to park the car and for the mazes almost the same cost for general admission general was 35.

It was very high quality with actors that made you fee like you were part of the story. The sets and costumes were so impressive. All of the actors and everyone who worked on this should be so proud. There was also a lot to do while waiting for the haunted manor show. There were carnival games, arts and crafts, live music, food, and tons of photo ops. It was a wondeful time!

The ticket purchase process for the "scary hour" was far from ideal. Only same day puchases, with very specific sales times?!? Soooo inconvenient!!! ..... But in the end, it was worth it. The attraction itself was better than expected. The props were pretty amazing, lots of great sets, and the actors were beyond frightening. You'll come face to face with the creatures of your scariest nightmares brought to life, and chased slowly through this "maze of madness"... and when they say "maze," they really mean it. Beware, if you get lost in this freak circus, you will not be able to stop screaming. Once you escape one monster, there's already another one creeping up on you. I certainly lost my voice, and that was just our first haunt of the night. This isn't highly advertised like some other haunts in the south bay, and buying tickets feels unnecessarily complicated, but don't be fooled by its cryptic nature or the family-friendly atmosphere (cute outdoor setup with kids' activities, carnival snacks, even a screen showing movies)... This haunt is SCARY, and fun at the same time, definitely top value for what you get (and I've been to a LOT of haunted houses over the years to compare it to). Well done!

I wouldn't recommend going to Moreland Pumpkin Patch if you're planning on doing the family walk…read more It was quite expensive at $15 per person, even for my 2yo. We lined up at our 730pm check-in time and waited 35 minutes in the cold and were only halfway through the line. We left because it would have been another 25-35 more minutes to get through the line. However, the staff was great and the carnival games were fun. Nice to have all of the thoughtful decorations as well, our child loved playing with all of the pumpkins.

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...?

Great experience with GREAT GUIDES who really make the visit fun and worthwhile. A must see if in…read moreSan Jose. I recommend this adventure despite my two very serious complaints:. Tour groups are TOO LARGE! they pack over two dozen people into tiny rooms with the people breathing down your neck. Price of the tour is TOO EXPENSIVE: if the groups were smaller so the experience wasn't so rushed and crowded, I would accept the high price. But to charge this amount and then jam you into a too-crowded tour group is simply price-gouging at the expensive of the customer. Really takes away from the positive feeling of the experience. If it weren't for the great guides (maybe I just go a good one?), I don't think this place would do very well on its own. . ..

Was so excited to go, even though it's…read more$50, but was deeply put off by a gift shop full of junk that has nothing to do with the beautiful house and the shooting game attraction. Signed on for the optional self guided attic and basement tour and I'm so happy I did. Got to speak with a guy named JT who works there and he was so full of knowledge regarding Sarah and the house. He really gave such a new perspective to the designs I had never thought of before. I understand the tour guides have a script and they like to lean into the paranormal but Sarah is such a character, just like her house. It almost felt disrespectful walking through and hearing they had 'ghost' noises playing in part of the basement. This woman was highly intelligent and did so many great things just to be painted as a crazy woman. Winchester needs to do better. Major shout out to JT, if he ran that place I just know it would be spectacular.

I had a fantastic experience at their haunted houses. At first thinking these are just actors and…read moredecorations, I was feeling genuinely afraid during the haunts with feeling of dread, fear, and doom bestowing upon me. There was a room from the church from the Nun and I got seriously creeped out when Valak arose seemingly out of nowhere and chased me. Something that's great to experience during the Halloween season. Some of the haunts were genuinely creepy and I felt like I was on a set of a horror movie - or in an actual situation encountering the supernatural and evil forces. Chuckle Chamber was creepy and scary. It was inspired by a circus and was something out of a real nightmare. I was genuinely creeped out wondering in the tunnel with just a dim light, surrounded by fog and unable to see anything around the arm's reach. Of course, I was followed by creepy and undead clowns and supernatural beings from the dark world who seek to harm me and I felt completely lost and afraid at that moment seeking to escape. The feeling of dread and gloom overtook me as I was wondering in the fog haunted by voices and images in the shadow. It was a real immersive experience! The decorations and the costumes were spectacular and even without the nightmare experience of walkthroughs I was admiring at how much details they put to construct the sets and set the dark evil mood! I screamed a lot and lost my voice. Every actor at the haunts stayed in character and they did amazing at creeping me out. I was terrified, dazed, and confused. This was such a great experience and I loved every moment of it. I highly recommend attending this. Also, I went there on a Wednesday night at 7:15 PM and the lines were short. So, if you don't like waiting in lines go early. They also had some fun but difficult Halloween themes games such as throwing chopped off heads at baskets, throwing rings at the skeleton hands sticking out of the walls and a walkthrough experience where you watch the video before a serial killer with a chainsaw chases you away. The actors walking around the ground outside the haunts did an amazing job terrifying distracted visitors and taking pictures with me after. They stayed in character the entire time! If you like Halloween or enjoy jump scares, theater, decorations and costumes this event isn't to be missed. Also, they had several food trucks and really good coffee and gelato vendors. I am glad that this production is locally owned and it is rare to support a local business of this scale. I have nothing but praise to say about this event and I will definitely repeat next year.

Pirates of Emerson was an ok experience. After visiting another haunt the previous weekend my…read moreexpectations were pretty high. Once we arrived and saw how long the lines were and slow they were moving we opted to purchase the fast pass. Thankfully we did because those lines were the scariest part. Once we got into the haunt we were rushed in and were sandwiched between groups. Each time we walked into a room the scare actor had already scared the group in front of us so there were not as many jump scares. I'm upset because we drove far and spent a pretty penny but it's alright. Now we know!

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.

Am I at the same haunted house as everyone else, because I don't understand the hype…read more We got there early and they were well organized and got us in on time for our 6:15pm program. The bar downstairs is ridiculously expensive at around $12 for a small glass of liquor with lots of ice, of $7 for a bottle of water. Restrooms are open to anyone and mon gendered so be mindful when you're at the urinal because women can and will be behind you at the sink washing their hands. The decorations look like something out of Hobby Lobby meets Dollar Tree. Oh with a lot of cheap flat screens everywhere. The actors reminded me of everyone in my High School acting club. Good try, lots of passion, but not scary. Especially when I've been to both Universal Studios Florida and LA. Groups are about 10 people and our group had a lot of scaredy cats. You can pay extra for these red glow necklaces that make actors choose you or try extra hard to scare you. Turns out some people in our group are scared easily even though they were posing as tough with their necklaces LOL So the theme this year 2025 is good witches against bad witches who are turning humans into rats and zombies. Ummm. .okay. I found the whole thing comical and give this place 3.5 stars. Wish they would spend more time and money on the decorations, tone down the overacting and screaming, and get a better plot line. Crystals that change color, and finding those crystals seem less than scary if you ask me. This would be a 4 star haunted house if you're like 12 years old.
