My original review (which is suspiciously hidden from Google but okay)
No. Boring and there was a point where you're supposed to walk into a tractor or bus through a trailer and they don't warn you about a good one foot drop. I fell into the room, hit a metal wall and twisted my knee up and couldn't walk but the actors who were present were rude about me walking slow when they had poorly lit pathways and drops they don't warn you about. All I could think about was how badly my knee hurt the entire rest of the attraction and I just wanted to leave. The nicest worker was the girl in the very beginning (spider queen she called herself lol) and the other workers just seemed miserable. Honestly the most fun part was the tractor ride from the wine and spirits store to the farm because the tractor kept backfiring.
The attraction didn't last long and I got hurt. No thanks. Save your money and go to pennhurst, Bates, or east state penn or maybe Field of Screams* (just be careful at FoS because they have a habit of having dimly lit stairways as well).
Not going back. Waste of money. Plus clearly they can't handle any sort of criticism. Go figure.

Thank you for your review. While we are surprised that you did not have the same quality of experience that every other reviewer of our haunt has had, we appreciate it.
It is unfortunate that you did not report the injury that you allege at the time it happened so that we could have addressed it properly. It is very difficult to diagnose a problem days later.
We do note, however, that you gave Field of Screams (an objectively good haunted house by any measure) only two stars ------ but we see you were ALSO injured at FOS. Perhaps there is a lesson there, and haunted houses just aren't for you?
Again, thank you for your feedback.
my reply:
Edit: LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL - so Terror Farm is going to be petty that I gave them a poor review because they don't properly light their 1 ft drops and then they're going to tell me that haunted attractions aren't for me when I've made it a point to do them in every state I visit every year for the past 13 years.
Maybe instead of being passive aggressive, you can take the feedback to heart and, oh I don't know, put a light or a strip of yellow tape down by a deep step. Could also not be righteously offended when someone doesn't have a good time. I know it's not easy to take criticism but I had a bad time. It WAS a waste of money, it didn't last long, the steps weren't properly lit (same with Field of Screams hence the poor review for them, duh. Pennhurst, East State Penn, and Bates seemed to have no issue putting down yellow tape, so better reviews for them. Not to mention Erebus/Halloween Horror Nights at Universal/etc. It's not rocket science, guys).
Also, my review for Field of Screams has nothing to do with this review. I don't know why you're scouring my other reviews to justify the fact that you don't like that I didn't have a good time and that I'm being open about the boring attraction. It was boring. Sorry not sorry. Deal with it or stop getting offended that people are encouraged to post honest reviews.
Also, where was I supposed to report the injury? To the guy in the snack shop who was talking about how bored he was or should I have waded back through the line to the front of the attraction where the gift shop was? I could have told the guy driving the tractor back to the wine shop I suppose but at that point I just wanted to go home.
But please, feel free to look through my account at other reviews and then come back here to tell me that you think I shouldn't go to haunted houses because yours
1. wasn't fun and
2. could be dangerous for others, despite what you think about who should and should not be allowed to go to haunted attractions. (P.S. your opinion on that doesn't matter and I didn't ask for it)
I posted a screenshot of the review. You can't see it when you go to Google Maps because they disputed it. Not sure how it got removed but you can see for yourself the entire thing right here on Yelp and everywhere else I can post it. read more
