There is a story teller in the hayride which is nice and interactive for the audience in the tractor. Wish that they had a little more scary like chainsaw noise, light up the dead bodies with a red or colored light to set the mood to make it more visible and creepy. Just needs a little more tweaking but it is still fun and entertaining for a one time event.

I'm a big fan of haunts , attend many throughout the country, and am admittedly highly critical…read more We went opening night for 2025 and there was no line at all. Our first sentiments were that we didn't feel welcomed. We had a group of four (all of us business aged 45-50) and we kept getting asked to move by staff several times. All while not feeling like they were being helpful at all. It just felt childish and I was even second-guessing going in. Three different staff members asked to see our tickets. Rules were repeated to us a total of three times. Now for the haunt - it was stifling hot inside the building through the whole maze / so much that I was getting dizzy and my friends couldn't wait for it to be over just to get back into a breeze.. The sets were detailed but it was a lot of similar themes going on in many of the rooms - it lacked some imagination in favor of just medical gore scenes. There was fog in areas that were too heavy to even enjoy what was coming at us - and that fog landed in many rooms. The end of the maze that leads into the retail exit was abrupt - there was no grand finale moment. Overall, not much stood out as very interesting or outstanding. (Exception: the subway cars) Go if you are a huge fan of haunts and Halloween. But if you only go to one haunt each year, this isn't the one.

If you park outside by the Incarnate Ward entrance, when you enter, climb the broken escalator and the place will be right there. I wasn't sure what to expect and was worried it would be cheesy, but it was so much fun to go with friends. All the rooms are eerily decorated ranging from macabre to whimsical. There are lots of props you can play with, the staff will warn you about what to avoid. I was impressed with how well the lighting worked with the pictures we took. You can buy your tickets online or there when you arrive. They have time slots on the hour and you'll have a full hour to wander around and have fun taking pictures. Be sure to check the bloody lockers for fun surprises.

It was fun but not worth the cost since it didn't offer enough scares to make it worthwhile.

We arrived a bit before 7:30, the opening time, so we were some of the first people in line. Nevertheless, it seemed to take forever for us to be shown in because they did not start letting people in until a bit after 7:30 and they were pretty slow letting people in after that. Unlike other haunted houses that I have been to, there were no characters or actors creeping around outside to spook you, so it was a pretty long and boring wait. Before we made it in, I read up on the history of the building itself, since it really was an asylum back in the 70s/80s, and honestly the history is the scariest part of the building because some pretty creepy stuff happened there. When we were about to go inside, we learned that it was a "total blackout" night, meaning that all the lights would be turned off. We were handed glow sticks so that we could find our way through (really probably so the actors inside could see us coming). We finally go inside and I am feeling pretty spooked from the anticipation. The first couple of rooms are elaborately decorated, but really nothing is too scary. As we walked through the entire house, it was sometimes hard to see the decorations themselves since the lights were off, so that may have taken away from the experience. There were only 4 or 5 actors hidden throughout the duration of the haunted house and they did the classic surprise scare tactic, but didn't really say or do anything that was too scary. The actors, however, were mostly just regular people in regular clothes with some face paint. I was honestly expecting them to wear costumes and have more of a character than just general scary person. There were some features inside that I had not experienced in other haunted houses, like the blow up walls and the big loud gusts and wind. Overall, I got a little spooked and I had a fun time, but it would probably not have been worth it. I'm not sad I went, but I wouldnt want to pay full price and I don't think I would go back.

Oct 28 is Emma's Birthday... so Magnolia Hotel decided to open the doors to celebrate! Free tours…read morefrom 10am-2pm! I just happened to see something come through my newsfeed over Fb, I bookmarked it, found my schedule open, so headed east to check it out. Emma likes to play in her room... and who doesn't like to play with little spirits?! I didn't know the history of the Magnolia Hotel so was totally clueless walking in the door... Magnolia Hotel has been on Ghost Adventures on Travel Channel. Also, Magnolia Hotel is ~not~ a hotel, it is now a personal residence. To my delight, I was able to hear stories of the old hotel, tales of it's past residents many of which have never left, and how Magnolia Hotel was discovered by the owners. Jim & Erin saved the Magnolia from being demolished... they single handedly have saved a part of Seguin history!... and some haunted history at that! I spent about two hours just hanging out, looking around, and people watching... talked to some interesting people, listening to questions and answers... all very interesting. Did I have an experience? I had something creepy go up the back of my left neck and skull as I was talking to a ghost hunter in the original dining area where the owner was sitting. I also felt some weird things around the house... but something I brushed off at first until I started listening to others talk about it... when you first come up the stairs, it feels really heavy. I originally brushed it off as I just walked up the stairs... but no, go back and you feel it... and everyone was feeling it!!! Emma was playing in her room. One of the guides said just a few minutes earlier, a little girl got scratched. Then someone told her that they saw the door knob in the pink bathroom turn back and forth. The owner, Erin, said this house is more active during the day than at night. Wow! The owners Jim & Erin host a ghost tour in their home on occasion, which books up months in advance. The tour last about 2 hours with in-depth stories which might also include a spiritual reading from the Erin at the end (but only if deceased wish to come forward). Erin has written Haunted New Braunfels, Haunted Seguin, and soon to be released Haunted Magnolia House. All proceeds go towards restoring the Magnolia Hotel. I can not wait to go on their ghost tour!

In the northwest part of San Antonio near La Cantera…read morewhere I10 meets Loop 1604 lies the closest Six Flags theme park (with roller coasters) to Houston since Astroworld closed decades ago. I've been to this particular Six Flags location over 25 times over my lifetime, and it has a great mix of rides for everyone. In my opinion, there are better Six Flags theme parks like Six Flags over Texas in Arlington and Six Flags Great America in Chicago, but this one in San Antonio is pretty good. It comes with several high thrill ride options like Iron Rattler (my favorite), Superman Krypton Coaster, and Wonder Woman. It also has lots of tamer rides for all ages. The food options are also pretty good, especially Johnny Rockets (those burgers and fries are amazing). As for crowds, it's hit or miss. Just know that on weekends around Halloween, Fright Night gets pretty packed. Same for Christmas at the Park. I once waited in line for over 2 hours to ride Iron Rattler. Less busy times like early May before the real summer kicks off, wait times are all less than 30 minutes even for the popular rides. There is also a water park directly connected inside the park so that's super convenient. In Dallas the water park is completely separate. As for pricing it's gone up over the years (even parking is $40 now whereas it was $20 not too long ago), but compared to the high end theme parks like Disney and Universal, Six Flags is very affordable. Enjoy!

Six Flags Over Texas is easily one of the more visually unique parks in the chain …read more The setting really stands out - it's built against a quarry wall, which gives it a cool backdrop you don't see at most theme parks. I also loved the consistent Hispanic/fiesta-style theming throughout the park. It adds a fun, vibrant energy that makes the whole place feel lively and different. Getting into the park was surprisingly smooth and fast, which is always a great way to start the day. Once inside, the atmosphere is super energetic with lots going on, but be ready for crowds - especially on busy days. A couple things to plan for: parking is pretty expensive ($39 for general and $55 for premier), so keep that in mind when budgeting your trip. Also, the Texas heat is no joke, so definitely come prepared with water, sunscreen, and maybe a game plan to stay cool. Overall, it's a fun, high-energy park with a unique look and vibe. If you can handle the heat and crowds, it's a great place to spend the day.

October brings on the creepy crawlers, and Zombies!! Welcome…read moreto Zombieville! Come out every night 7-12 to take on zombie hoards with your friends and family. Ever been paint balling? That's the weapon you get as you run through a course with a 'team leader' and shoot your way to safety! $25 at the gate gets you 1 run through plus 75 rounds of paintballs. Extra rounds is $5. Check out their website for more info, or for any changes. How it went down: Paid the $$ at the gate and parked the car. Since we are meeting friends, we hung out for a bit. What to do? There were 2 food vendors selling turkey legs brisket and your typical hot dogs with the fixings. Choice of drinks was soda, water and hot chocolate for the colder nights. All reasonably priced. Giant movie projector set up beside the course playing zombie movies for those who are just chillin. Looses 1 star, because for some reason it's playing sound but no picture which was a bit of a bummer. Though I felt sorry for the operator who was obviously frustrated, he should have tried it out ahead of time to make sure it all worked. Once all our friends arrive we get in line. There is 6 of us all together which is a dream team and the max you need on your team. If you don't have enough people, they will put you with another group to add up to six. Sucks for you, if you want to try it alone or with a smaller group, but you may be able to sweet talk them your way. Looses another star b/c once we were in Line it took 2 hours for it to be our turn, even though they try to get a group through every 15 min. Gaines a star b/c when it's your turn, you are pumped and a little scared at the same time (at least I was). It was fun and a little intense and I totally see why you have to be in some kind of good shape with no health problems, b/c you are running through the whole course when your not shooting the bad guys. All in all, as long as you are with friends/family, bring some extra CASH for food or extra rounds, you'll have a good time. And get in line ASAP so you don't have to wait forever! They have a great idea. Maybe next October they can build upon it to make it even better. Was it worth the $25? Yes and no. Costs just as much as a haunted house does, but haunted houses won't let you shoot anyone with paint balls. You decide...

I always thought SeaWorld was just some overrated place that held killer whales in captivity for…read moreentertainment. While some of that debate may still exist, I was pleasantly surprised by how much there actually is to do & how fun & engaging the scheduled shows are. SeaWorld ended up being an absolute blast for me & my family! There was so much going on that it was hard to know where to begin. We went to the beluga & Pacific white-sided dolphin experience, then the sea lion talk where we watched the sea lions dance & do tricks, which was really fun. One of the highlights was the Imagine Ocean puppet experience. It was a glow in the dark, super immersive, & honestly magical experience for me & my kids. We also went to the orca encounter, which was such a delight. They have splash zones & it was hilarious watching the killer whales jump & flip in the air while the crowd got unexpectedly soaked at certain moments of the show. Also be aware, if you plan on sitting in the "splash zones" during the whale, dolphin, or sea lion shows, I suggest wearing a bathing suit under your clothes & bringing a small towel because you will get soaked depending how close you are sitting in the front. However, the splash zones are clearly labeled on the seat backs so you will know whether you are considered within range of getting wet to determine whether that's a good fit for you. We sat in the splash zone on our first orca experience but farthest back of the splash zone & still got a good soak, but the folks down at the front were drenched in water. When it's a hot day that sounds refreshing, today when we went it got quite windy & cold toward the evening so we opted to steer clear of any & all splash zones. They have a huge playground area for kids, which I'd estimate is great for children under about age 12, plus a separate playground for the younger little ones. There is a wide variety of food options like ice cream, burgers, cupcakes, & carbonated drinks. I would describe the food as pretty mediocre, & it is definitely expensive. You are allowed to bring water bottles into the park but no outside food or drinks. We brought my daughter's sippy cup with milk & a backpack & no one questioned it. I definitely recommend bringing a backpack so you have somewhere to keep your belongings, although the park does offer lockers near the entrance if you do opt to store your stuff. I also suggest downloading the SeaWorld app. It's super helpful & easy to use as it gives you up to the minute daily schedules of what events & shows are happening by the hour. There was also a plethora of rollercoaster rides for those who enjoy a thrill! Even though we did not ride any of the roller coasters this visit, it was still fun watching people climb up the massive tracks before the big drop & hearing everyone scream with excitement as they flew past. The way the park is laid out puts you pretty close to many of the rides, so you get a great view of them even if you are not riding. If you think you will go to SeaWorld at least twice a year, I would suggest going with the annual pass. More bang for your buck. A single day pass starts at $50 & goes up from there depending if you add a dining experience to your day pass. Right now during spring break you can get the basic adult annual pass for $99, which includes access to their aquatic park. Kids under 5 are currently offered free annual park passes. We grabbed two for our kids. The free kid passes do not include the aquatic section like the adult pass does, but you can add that for roughly $39.99 per child before taxes, which is still very reasonable. With the basic annual pass you do not have to pay for parking, & there are higher membership tiers that include dining & merchandise discounts that may be worth the cost depending on how much you plan to eat inside the park because the cost of food & drinks add up quickly. For example, we bought one electrolyte drink like a Powerade & it was about $9. A small Dippin' Dots ice cream cup came out to almost $15 after tax & tip. Something else to know is that every time you check out at a register there is a tipping option. I usually tip because I worked in the service industry before so I have a soft spot, but I can understand how it might feel excessive when every single purchase asks for a tip, even when someone is just ringing you up for a drink. My advice is to eat before you arrive so you are not relying too heavily on park food. Also definitely bring your water bottle. Overall it was an amazing experience, especially for the kids. They were thrilled by the whale, dolphin, & sea lion shows. It was entertaining for the adults too. We laughed a lot & had a great day. Giving SeaWorld 4 stars because the cost of food & drinks is egregiously expensive when you take into account tipping for every purchase. Costs add up quickly even with having a pass. That said, we will definitely be back.
