Characters walk by for photo ops and entertainment while you wait in line. NYPD staff is so fun and friendly. The house is for ages 12 and older, they allow younger ages at the parent's discretion. It so well done with jump scares in almost every room. It feels like a safe outing. Hours this year are 5pm to 11pm from Friday to Sunday. They let you in in small groups so you don't feel rushed. At the end, they sell Halloween themed souvenirs with NYPD and Fort Totten on them. I bought a Tshirt to support such an awesome event which is FREE to the community. We loved it and appreciated it!

What I really was the most impressed with was the acting. They got the moves, the nuances and the element of surprise. The two "Shining" girls acted the roles very well.

Love the spacing and timing they give each group.. everybody gets their own scare time. No over lapping with other groups in front. Family owned business. The owner his daughter they are all great.

A fabulous walk, indoor and out, with strobe lights and all the jump scares you could dream up. This place changes every year. A small food truck outside with treats, also takes Venmo bonus factor. They also had someone available outside to take pictures for you for free. *NO cameras inside for obvious reasons. They also timed it beautifully that people weren't gaining up on each other.

While there might be more than a few downers at Demarest Farms the Haunted Orchards winds up being…read morepretty cool for the Halloween spirit. Lines not nearly as long as seasoned haunts like Bane or Brighton Asylum, but location gaining interest from repeat customers. Got there before 5pm to avoid long lines, sat back, relaxed, chilled in the store, got on line at 6pm, and was inside at the expected time of 6:40pm. Could have arrived later than 5pm without issue, but since parking normally sucks a huge dong figured get there early enough just in case. Staff checks you in, gives you a wrist band, then you get on the hay ride over to the orchard. Get there wait in line, finally they cut off the wrist band and you go "inside". Since there are little to no indoor mazes haunts come from every angle. Possible to be caught up in someone else's scare and totally miss a creep running up on you. Vibe is eerie enough but still slightly flat. Creeps keep on coming in wave after wave. Even Dennis the dead security guard lets you know no position in line is safe from scare. Overall nice attempt, a little lame, but nice considering it's almost entirely outdoors. Small things to improve on; every employee should be in costume, don't want to see a well dressed attractive woman guiding guests inside the haunt when Shovelman the Ugly Ghoul is also doing the same. Interested to see what they have in store for next year.

The line moved quickly and the actors entertained us the whole time we waited, making it fun. Once inside, they come from every direction and it's sometimes impossible to predict it or see it coming. The haunted houses built inside the attraction were pretty spooky, but the doll maker was by far the one that creeped us out the most. Fun night getting into the Halloween spirit. We will be returning.

Nice views of the water along the boardwalk. A very cool old-school retro feel, like America and apple pie days of the past. The park's grounds are well maintained. As some mentioned there were rides which were not open but hopefully this summer all will be operational as it's a nice day trip to have some fun. It's a very family friendly place and good for the kiddies. Food is available but it's basically carnival eats - pizza, hot dogs, burgers, ice cream, fries, chicken fingers - which is as expected. You come here to enjoy not worry about your diet. Hopefully the new ownership who took it over will have everything up and running this season.

It's definitely an experience…read more Parking was easy breezy since there are plenty, and most likely because the amusement park was barely packed. Admission is free, and rides were free for my 23 month old son, he had just made the 36" mark to ride. We only brought one $15 adult ticket for rides since someone had to watch our new baby . Like most reviewers mentioned, there are quite a few rides that were closed, probably around 1/4 of the rides were not operating on a Saturday! Fortunately, there was minimal waiting for rides. 2-5 minutes max, or no wait at all! The rides are not in the best conditions. We spent most of our time at the kiddie section. I went on the submarine ride with my son and ride suddenly stopped at the top as it was half way through. The jolt (when the ride stopped) was so big that my back spine slammed into the seat. It was painful and quite scary for myself. I asked the operator about what had just happened on my way out, and he said it happens often!! Horror!! Your food options are extremely limited. Pizza ( cheese or pepperoni), chicken fingers, fries, hot dogs, burgers, ice cream, and pretzels. I may be missing a few! I was in shock to learn a bottle of purified water would cost $4.50, so pack your own water to stay hydrated!!

ALL of the actors are volunteers AND the money goes to local charities! *$10 parking per car cash or Venmo Every year the themes focus on "in" movies. This year's 2024 "Coven of the Rotted" included Terrifier, Silent Hill, Silence of the Lambs, Dolls and a Voodoo room among many others! There is always a "twist" on the best classic movies, but they've had themes like Monsters Inc. and Toy Story in the past. The themes are always changing and EVERY year is different. The trail takes about an hour to walk through but the scares start once you walk through the entryway! Characters will interact with you (but not touch) and the display of animatronics is a great way to start the night! There is a midway "stop" area to take photos, grab a snack and break up the groups of people that tend to get bunched together through the trail. I would recommend 10/10 and will come back every year! Buy your tickets early as they sell out quick for all times!
