    Excellent show with incredible lighting and sound with some very cool aerial acts. The show took…read moreplace in a huge tent which was surprisingly comfortable. The concessions were expensive even by venue standards. $14 for a can of lite beer and $7 for a soft pretzel. Our seats were outstanding facing the center of the stage at eye level. The stage rotates and no matter where you are you will have a good view. My favorite segments were the double dutch group the trampoline acrobats and the woman who swung on a cable by her hair. Her movements were amazing. She must use a lot of Tylenol. The bike finale was a great way to end the show. The music and vocals were also very good and set the tone for each act. Thanks to Michelle and the Yelp team for a very enjoyable evening.

    This show was one of the best, if not THE BEST, demonstrations of human artistry, emotion, and…read moretalent I've ever seen on a live stage. I've never seen a Cirque du Soleil show (or as I like to call it, "Circus - Ole!") My jaw was on the floor throughout the entire performance. Volta blew away any expectations I had for this show. I knew I'd see some cool aerial stunts, but I did not expect to see a very moving, emotional story told through outstanding vocalists, musicians, dancers, AND acrobats (and don't forget the costumes!!). The pure strength and talent of every single cast member blew my mind - I cannot even imagine the YEARS of training you must have to perform in one of these shows. There were definitely moments I was overwhelmed by the lights, sounds, and sparkles. There was so much to see, and I didn't want to miss any of it! I felt like I was turning into my mother towards the end of the show, as I was anxiously on the edge of my seat, worried about someone falling or making a wrong move. It was a good anxiety, though, and kept me fully entertained. The entire show, from start to finish, is just a little less than 2 hours, and that includes a 25 minute intermission. The venue is very nice - it looks like a real circus tent! I was worried it'd be hot inside, given the temperatures outside, but it was very pleasant. In fact, if you're prone to chills, I might bring a light cardigan or something. There are your typical overpriced concessions - $5 bottles of soda/ water, $12 beers, $15 wine. The food selection is pretty scarce, so I would definitely plan on grabbing dinner somewhere else prior to the show. There are really no bad seats in the house, and crowds and parking were extremely manageable - way better than I anticipated. Just be careful leaving the parking lot, because this is a very dark, fairly rural area of PA and is prone to deer. Thank you SO SO SO much to the entire Yelp Philly team. This was an incredible, memorable experience. I HIGHLY recommend this show to anyone who can appreciate art, acrobatics, and music - it's a very entertaining show for all ages.

    One of the best haunted attractions I've been to in a while! I was genuinely scared and their…read moreeffects were outstanding. The parking was organized and there were many employees available to help you with any questions. Some notes: 1. Wear sneakers -- there are long lines outside on grass and lots of walking through the haunted areas. 2. Porta potties located throughout the attraction. Bring hand sanitizer. 3. They have smoke throughout the entire area -- inside and outside. If you have asthma, bring your inhaler just in case. 4. Lines are long so think of ways to entertain yourselves during the wait. The earlier you get there, the less you'll wait in the lines. There were entertainers throughout the lines but they were infrequent. 5. There was a snack stand right before the first attraction that sold pretzels, hot dogs, candy, and drinks. There is also the pumpkin patch at the end of the route that has carnival vibe food areas with funnel cake, corn dogs, fries, slushies, candy, etc. 6. The first haunted house has many exits if the place is too scary. Because of this, the first one wasn't as scary. On the other hand, the other 2 attractions did not have exits if it is too scary. 7. There's a VIP line and it looked worth it after standing in lines all night.

    Incredibly disappointing tour; Many of the individuals in our tour group drove 1-2 hours for this…read moreexperience. Our tour started almost 30 minutes late because the guide was waiting for a personal friend to arrive - and on top of that we hended up having a spark notes version of the tour because of an event happening later in the afternoon. Our questions were shot down and we were told we would cover that topic during a different section of the tour. That part never came. We missed several buildings and the buildings we did see we weren't permitted to view inside/certain floors. They tried to end the tour over an hour early, but as soon as we demanded a refund/reschedule opportunity they said we could go backtrack to a few different places that we had initially not been permitted to see. The guide started the tour full of energy and stories - she told us about court cases that lead to many current laws and legislations that have been passed. However, after she tried to end the tour early that same energy she had was lost. For the entire last hour of the tour we were brought to empty rooms and told very little history of the place. Instead she just spoke to a few individuals (which I'm assuming are the ones she knew personally). This experience was a wasted drive, and quite frankly wasted money. They prioritized a specialty event that was happening instead of focusing on each and every individual tour - who honestly had paid just as much to be here. We spent more time standing around and waiting than we did hearing about this places history.
