I love to give myself over to the experience and allow myself to get scared, because how often in your adult life is it permissible to scream at the top of your lungs?? It's so much fun! My only complaint is that they sent groups in without much space in between, so we were constantly catching up with the group in front of us or had the group behind us catch up with us. I can't fault them for it though, because they have to send people through relatively quickly to keep the lines moving. Since I can't think of a solution, I won't dock a star for it. Just something to keep in mind as you're going through--I'd recommend sticking to a group size of 2-4 people, so that if you catch up with the group in front it's not a HUGE backup. Thanks so much for the great experience! I'll be back next year!

The main attraction is a mile long walk through multiple themed houses. The actors are believable, intimidating, and hide in all the right places. Jump scares are guaranteed. The path is very uneven, music can be very loud, and groups of people get clustered together. We saw young kids crying. I would rate this experience PG13.

Shady and unscrupulous business owners. Go elsewhere…read more We purchased tickets to attend this event on October 25th. We intentionally wanted to go to Darkside Haunted Estates because it was more "off the beaten path" and given how many people have moved to the Raleigh area since last year, we wanted to get away from the hordes of people. We purchased our tickets for October 25th. Yes, we purchased tickets WEEKS in advance to make sure we would be able to attend just in case there was a lot of demand for October 25th. We were so excited to come that we brought two other couples with us, all of whom bought their tickets in advance. We drove an hour to get there and were greeted by a line of cars a quarter of a mile long. Whatever, right? It's the week before Halloween, there's some demand. Cool. Well we finally inch our way to the parking lot entrance and the attendant tells us "we're closed for now, we don't have any parking available, so you can drive around for thirty minutes or try to come back another night." I'M SORRY, WHAT? We bought tickets to guarantee our spot on the 25th. We told her we want a refund and we got an email address to contact them. They're only open from 7pm-10pm. It was 8:45pm, and once we got back in line we'd be behind at least 50 other cars lined up on a dark two-lane road. There's no way we're making it back to the front of the line by 9:15, and the event ends at 10pm. We contemplated going back the next weekend but given that it's an hour out of the way, it's not exactly the place you can just pop into on your way home from work. We decided to get a refund given that we did not receive the access on the 25th we paid for. We emailed them. They're now dodging our emails and not responding. We paid for two tickets plus the quick pass for a total of $37 per person, and these shysters don't have the integrity to respond to emails and refund customers for products and services they didn't receive. We'll be contacting the NC Consumer Protection division of the NC Attorney General and filing a dispute with our credit card company. This company was greedy, oversold their tickets to maximize their profits, and now they refuse to own their mistake and issue refunds. It's just going to get worse next year once another 20,000 people move here by next Halloween. Avoid this location. You've been warned.

It starts out promising, with an airline-themed line and then an "elevator" to hell, and a lobby that looks really cool. Immediately after that, it gets kinda mundane. Just kinda shuffling through, but is definitely better than nothing. There was no need for the VIP fast pass thing when we went, because there was no line anyway. We paid $160 for 3 people, and drove 3 hours. Probably wouldn't have done that. If it was like 30 mins away, I'd probably have done it happily, if we didn't buy the VIP passes and stuff it would have been like $75.

Aesthetic: Beautiful, clean state fair with the best people watching ever!…read more My Favorites: The sweet animals like the big pigs, cows, and baby chicks! Experience: We had the best day at the state fair! I hadn't been to one since I was young in different states, but it had so much to offer, we were thrilled. I didn't expect the live music and beautiful country aesthetic. We started out walking around the mill area and the waterfront, and tried a frozen and hot apple cider and both were delicious. Then we walked and saw a ton of livestock and beautiful award winning gardens. We sampled crazy foods along the way that I've added in my pics from fried watermelon to pork belly churros. We ran around taking tons of pics of the rides and people watched until the sun went down and the fireworks began. Our hotel was in walking distance, and we were exhausted after walking for about 8 hours that day. I surprisingly didn't even gain weight from all the naughty food since we walked it all off. I can't wait to go back in the future, the NC state fair is the best!

We absolutely enjoy the fair!…read more Going to the fair is easy- buy your tickets online- it's free to park. We parked in the field on Edwards Mill- buses came every 5 minutes- very comfortable! Friendly drivers. We got dropped at the gate- then enjoyed ourselves- We didn't ride any rides - way too expensive (giant slide $7) unbelievable. The food was so pricey- one sausage $18 - lol - eat before you come (and bring snacks) Seeing all the shows and all the vendors- so much fun!

As a proud military family, I feel it's important to share our experience so others can plan…read moreaccordingly. First and foremost, Spooky Woods only honors military discounts for active duty members, not their families. If your spouse is deployed or TDY, you cannot use your dependent ID to claim the advertised BOGO tickets. Additionally, the attraction does not recognize Gold Star families, which was especially disheartening after my friend--who lost her loved one in active duty--was also turned away. I strongly encourage management to reconsider this policy, as these families have made profound sacrifices and deserve recognition. We attended on opening night and waited approximately three hours in line. While some wait time is expected, better organization could greatly improve the experience. There were fun moments--music, light interaction, and themed characters--but compared to a competitor we visited the night before (which featured a full fall festival and concert guests could enjoy while waiting), the overall setup here felt less engaging and far less efficient. There was also a bar halfway through the line, but guests were not informed during ticketing that a green wristband was required to purchase drinks. After standing in line for hours, many people were understandably frustrated when they discovered this too late. Clearer communication would easily fix this issue. The "Bates Motel" and "Camp Crystal Lake" sets were the standout features in terms of design and atmosphere. However, the actor performances lacked coordination and consistency--several repeated the same handful of lines, and some of the scariest characters weren't even in their designated themed areas. One performer in particular, a female clown with black and white hair, blew an air horn directly into my mother's and my ears at close range, causing immediate ringing and a migraine that lingered for hours. That kind of proximity-based scare tactic poses legitimate safety concerns and should be addressed immediately. Furthermore, the terrain was uneven and poorly lit, with unexpected drops and steps that posed a hazard, especially for elderly guests. Adding proper signage, lighting, or a simple warning at the entrance would help prevent potential injuries. Overall, while there were moments of entertainment and strong visual effects, the experience did not align with the ticket price or expectations.

Unfortunately, this did mean that a LOT of people had fast passes and the wait for the normal line was longer than usual as was the fast pass lane. When we arrived, we had to pay $20 CASH for parking. In previous years, they accepted cashapp so we did not have cash and were directed to the ATM on site (so $20 turned into $30 quickly). We should've read the website better but I wish the tickets/email to us stressed the cash only portion in bold and all caps and made it clear that payment apps were no longer accepted. The lady collecting parking cash was very nice and helped guide us, but another attendant treated us so horribly and verbally attacked us that we had to ask to speak to a manager (something we really only do to compliment people who are good at their jobs). The security supervisor assuaged our concerns very well (Caleb) and completely turned our experience around. The scare actors at this location are very interactive and there are plenty of photo ops before you go into the houses which do not allow photos. The houses were the same as the normal Halloween houses with a nice twist of snow and Christmas decorations and Christmas themed movies like the Nightmare Before Christmas. The scared are great but really it's the sets that are unbeatable. It was a nice touch that they had fire pits between houses where people could stop and get warm on a very cold (freezing) night and take a breather. Overall; would highly recommend, but the line and parking should be better organized as well as notifications of cash only parking.

We went on a Saturday night which tends to be their busiest. My biggest piece of advice if you have…read moreto be home by a certain time, upgrade to fast pass. The entire walk through all the haunted houses will take about an hour and half in addition to any wait time to get in. We did general admission and waited 2 hours till we got our text to get in line. We got in the virtual line around 8pm. I will say the person I believe is the owner, the one with the red Mohawk, is super sweet and saw us waiting around and cleared us to enter early. We got our text to get in line 10 minutes later, but we truly appreciated the gesture to get us in line earlier. Also don't forget to scan to get in line bc I talked to too many people that had completely forgot. The houses are absolutely amazing and so incredibly well done. The attention to detail is crazy. Plenty of jump scares, but overall I did way better than I expected. Be prepared though to walk what felt like a mile or more. Also the fact there were so many different options to go through made the experience even greater. One character scared someone that she fell on the ground but the character then helped her up which was sweet. The security and staff in general through the whole experience were sweet and you knew they enjoyed what they did. I think at first I thought the tickets seemed expensive, but after going through the experience, the price was truly worth every penny. I would definitely bring my friends here in the future.
