I was pleasantly surprised to find a short, ticket line, friendly staff/volunteers and an extremely organized number system for groups entering the house. We received a number and could then walk around, purchase snacks, crafts and raffle tickets for some cool prizes. They waited less than 10 minutes before their group was called. It was so great not having to stand on line all night. My younger child and I had fun shopping and dancing with the DJ while waiting for the girls to return. They were definitely scared and loved every minute of it. Can't wait to return next year.

Refreshments and beer is also available for purchase and kid snacks. There are different trails. One family friendly trail and one in the evening that has definitely more of a scare factor. It was a family evening so we went through the family friendly trail. In the beginning your greeted by a scary dude who tells you the story of the witch and all the people she's possessed and to be prepared for all encounters. The atmosphere was perfect having to actually walk through the forest section of the park. At night theres the flashing lights that makes things look really creepy..it was perfect. After escaping the witch and her possessed it was nice to just hang still in the park. Music is played and lots of open space for the kids to play. It's the perfect spooky treat for all.

You could also find food trucks with Italian food and some other dishes to wet your palate . They had some blow up bounce type activities for kids to enjoy and play inside. There was also a game at no costs to play giving out a ball as a prize to each winner. At the end there was a trophy for best Italian food since it's meatball day ... A nice evening with many things for all ages to do.

Parking is limited at the Sportsplex but you can park in the warehouses next door and across the street. If you don't want to wait in long lines come early. Traffic was already backing up for the festival by 3:45. What was especially nice this year was the Sportsplex has a large new covered field with Astro Turf. They set up the stage with a country cover band, tables and chairs, and bleachers in this area. Other attractions at the festival included a few carnival rides, bounce house, haunted house, food trucks, pony rides, petting zoo, craft vendors. and contests for costumes, pumpkin carving, and scarecrow building. I spent the evening hanging out with my friend. We caught some of the concert and ate at the Pork O' Rican Food Truck and had Italian Ices. We shopped at the tents and I bought a light up Halloween decoration. We waited in line forever for the haunted house and laughed our heads off. Throughout the night I saw a lot of people I knew and many of the kids who go to my school. So fun to see everyone in costumes. At the end of the night the town officials announced that Margate is going to host the Broward County Fair this year. Awesome news and more great times to look forward to.

Our wait was ridiculously long, over an hour, but again it was free so I tried not to complain. Once we got inside the drive thru was cool. I didn't expect the actors to actually come inside my vehicle so that was a nice, spooky surprise! Although we enjoyed it, I am happy I didn't have to pay. I don't know how much it costs but I wouldn't pay for this, especially with the long wait to get in. There are other Halloween-themed attractions that are more worth your money, like Halloween Horror Nights.

I was in line for the maze, which had not one scare actor, and a group of kids went under the rope. I went to tell the guy at the front and the women and they looked at me like I was crazy. Then he said they were there, he kept lying instead of fixing the issue. At hhn that never happens, they are orderly and take security seriously. People that work there from the box office, security, to lame photographers are unprofessional, it's a circus. Then I was charged extra for using my credit card!

I have been to church carnivals that had better food than this one. I had a falafal on stale pita with bluchy fries for $14 since there was also a $1 fee to use my credit card. My husband and kid shared a $13 turkey leg (the only thing that was good). We tried to get some zepolis but were told to come back in an hour. There was only one ice cream vendor so the line was ridiculously long during the day. My kid loved all the rides she rode, however on the super slide the woman running it was so annoyed at a parent for letting her toddler run wild she yelled an "f" bomb at the parent. Okay the parent deserves it but the language wasn't necessary. There were way too many games that no one was playing. Parking was free but confusing. The bathrooms were disgusting. The point of a fair is to have animals...none. All in all, my kid had fun....but we won't go again next year.

A for effort for the people dressed up that work there, but all it is is Christmas cutouts, a few lights, cheesy props, and a bunch of people holding inflatable candy canes, saying Merry Christmas (it's a little awkward). Then at the grand finally I guess their generator went out, so half the lights did not work and then poor Santa looked anorexic and really fake. We decided to go because back in October we went to their drive thru haunted house. Although the wait time was ridiculous too, it was so much fun and interactive. It worked for Halloween, but doesn't work for Christmas. Thanks for trying to make the holidays a little more entertaining during this Covid time, but this Santa drive thru is truly a rip off. NOT WORTH THE MONEY OR WAIT TIME.

It's a bunch of rows of beautiful cardboard cutouts and a few actors per row. Most of the actors were great and all the makeup was detailed. The carolers were the best in my opinion. If you want to try it out just go eyes wide open about what to expect. Bring letter to Santa as they will accept them and they will give kids candy canes. We went with friends in different cars and some kids got bigger candy canes than others so that'll be fun to explain.

It used to be held in Miami but it has recently moved to the Broward County Convention Center. The event consists of vendors, fans, and celebrities mixing together over four days for a fest of pop culture. You can attend over 600 hours of programs. My daughter usually helps out at a vendor booth so she was able to take me for a tour after I got off work Thursday night. Since it was the first night it was pretty empty. If you really want to people watch Saturday is the best day to go but it will also be the day with the most challenging parking. The amount of people who will attend will far exceed what the parking garage can hold. The garage was almost full on a day when there weren't even many people. Even though not much was going on I still had fun exploring the booths. Some of my favorites include the lady who inserts cats into art masterpieces, the lanterns with scenes in them from popular movies, and Darwin and Wallace who will sell you their specimens. No matter what your fandom is you can find it here. From the preview I got last night there will be plenty going on to keep the fans happy.
