That was a great decision because the line started early and was long. The first stop is the pre-show. Think of it as part warm up act and part "rules of the game." The storyteller gave us the backstory of the property and guidelines to keep us and the actors safe. Following the guidelines will make sure you don't get lost and don't get too close to the group ahead of you - which isn't great because it will lead to spoilers. So, the event itself was fun. They had great music, atmosphere, and really know how to set up a scare. Lots of unexpected surprises. If you have any fears, trust me, they will exploit it here! It's good for ages 15 and up, I'd say. I would imagine that it could be pretty scary for those who are younger. The woods definitely add a dimension of fear, so go and enjoy. I would go back and recommend it.

Just tried this haunt for the first time this year and it's my new favorite!! Not only is this the…read morescariest one I've been too but there's more to do than just the maze. First of all, they have food trucks and booths, and they also have a magician to keep you entertained while you wait. They have incredible props and also have characters all over while you wait and explore too-very good about sneaking up on you and giving you a pre-maze Jumpscare! The makeup costumes and props aren't cheap and the maze took like 25 minutes to get through. It's not even just Jumpscare in there-it's sort of an obstacle course. Definitely don't go if you're claustrophobic or have epilepsy. There's moments where actors strobed the brightest flashlights I've ever seen in my life to the point where you can't see where you're going, and at the beginning there was a section that is pitch black and you're literally squeezing through some sort of blowup material and have to feel your way through. Would definitely recommend!!

From the apple cider and greeting haunts to the small groups exploring the incredibly detailed and wonderfully designed mazes and haunted houses, there's a lot to love here. The animatronics were fantastic, and several of the scares genuinely caught me off guard. Don't let the statues fool you! The smoke effects, twirling room, acting, and storylines created some really impressive moments. The gift shop is adorable, too, and you can tell a tremendous amount of thought, creativity, and hard work went into this experience. I want to be fair: this was early in the season, and it was a cold, rainy night, so I understand staffing may have been affected. But if this haunt is going to reach its full potential, I think two things need serious, permanent investment: more actors and much stronger microphone amplification (for actors and for ALL SOUNDS--everything has to be much louder--much much louder and scarier). More actors--ideally TRIPLE the number currently throughout the attractions. The performers who were there were working hard and staying in character. This isn't a criticism of them. There simply weren't enough performers to fully utilize these incredible environments. The sets are there. The animatronics are there. The effects are there. Fill those spaces with actors. And most importantly: PLEASE turn up the actors' microphones. I especially want to hear what the actors are saying. If you've created characters, dialogue, storylines, and elaborate scenes, guests need to be able to hear them. Their voices are too swallowed by overall noise of the haunt (which actually could be wayyyy louder). The microphones need to be much, much louder and powerful enough for the actors' voices and dialogue to cut through everything else. Let them yell at guests. Let them deliver their lines. Let them interact with people from across the room. Let us hear the characters you've created. This isn't simply about making the haunt louder. It's about making the actors--and their dialogue--audible. I would strongly encourage making proper actor amplification a PERMANENT part of the production rather than something that depends on the conditions of a particular night. Invest in this for sure. It's worth it and will be terrifying. I'd also recommend replacing the repetitive entrance music with a more dynamic horror soundtrack--different creepy songs, atmospheric sounds, and dramatic effects that build anticipation before guests even enter. There is a tremendous amount of potential here. The production design is impressive, the animatronics are great, and the performers who were there were giving it their all. Four stars from me. I'd absolutely come back later in the season. If you permanently increase the number of performers and, above all, make sure we can actually hear what those performers are saying, make ALL SOUND EFFECTS AND MUSIC 10x louder I think you'll take an already impressive haunt to another level.

I would say the most crowded is between 6-8pm. I admire the residents very much for making such effort and creativity every year to wow and welcome visitors, while giving away tons and tons of candies. Nothing better than seeing everyone's reactions. It's hard to tell how the event is organized as there isn't official information online. There is a street closure around Meadow on Hanover but only for a few blocks while the crowd started taking over the streets from Robinson. It causes the traffic around the area very congested every year. People start to get impatient and irritated which is not what we want to see in our neighborhood.

My sister and I won tickets to this attraction and we were very excited to check it out. We made…read morethe hour+ trip on opening weekend. When we arrived, the place was almost deserted. We took our waivers and tickets to the ticket booth, where we were greeted by friendly staff, and started our journey. Right off the bat, we had trouble seeing the path. There was a long (did they take the long way?) hayride full of dust in our face. So, we started with dry, burning eyes. Bring eye drops! When we arrived at the entrance, there were four visitors and a few employees. We assumed we would get to go with the other two customers, but instead, they split us up and sent each group in with an employee tailing us. My sister and I don't startle easily, so we generally enjoy being with others who do startle; that is the part we enjoy. That and the cool effects. Since we were sent in with other customers, we didn't enjoy the attraction much. The employee who was tailing us received the bulk of the startles and attention. Also, the path was hard to discern. And there were really long, empty paths, then one small "scare", then another long, hard to follow path. It also seemed disjointed, like they could use a "theme" for the path. We did enjoy some of the effects, but we did not like having to crawl through the hearse and jump out the other side. We also didn't enjoy the part where we were in a small box and we were stepping on an actor. Especially since it seemed like this place was using a lot of underage actors... Some of them looked like they were ten years old! At the end, the staff selling refreshments were really friendly and we enjoyed the conversation. It's not the worst attraction we have visited, but it's also not the best. My all-time favorite is still "The town of the living dead" that was in Powhatan, VA. (no longer exists). The theme, story telling, props, actors, and effects all came together in a symphony of horror. I really hope to find that again in my lifetime. IMHO, it was worth the drive to try it out, but I doubt we will try it again. Let us know what you experienced!
