We went on Friday the 13th and had a lot of fun! It was our first time coming during the Halloween season. The haunted house was a lot of fun but not too scary. I had fun with the characters and my 13 year old daughter enjoyed interacting with them as well. The Ghost Train was a lot of fun and very well done. As an added bit of fun an employee asked my husband for my daughter’s name to text to an actor during the ride. My daughter was so surprised that they knew her name and which kid she was. The fortune teller was so sweet as well as the woman who does Ghost tours dressed as a Ghost Buster.

This is a tradition for our family to visit! The Haunted House is a great feature! Our daughter was nervously screaming around every corner! The train ride terrified my wife so much we are only allowed to go on the non-scary train ride.
The cast of characters is great and really interactive!

We had some much fun with this last year. We were the last group of the night. The train was just slow enough to make you worry and the actors were all great. The only thing i would do differently is have more scares along the ride not just at stations.
