  • Email Verified Very impressed...

    If you want to get really scared, this is the one to visit. The haunted hayride was rocking scary from start to finish. It was very well done with creative sets and many original characters and scares. Yes, I screamed few times and surprised myself. My GF was holding to my hand all the time. We were very impressed and will definitely do this again.

  • Email Verified Scariest in my experience

    Well organized and great scare factor This haunted hayride that passes through tunnels and gnarled trees was one of the scariest in my experience. The element of unpredictability will keep you on your toes all the time. My kids were screaming non-stop. By the time we exited, I thought I would have liked it to be longer. Can't wait for next season!

  • Email Verified Pretty scary!!

    Lots of scares and laughter. Very entertaining. The haunted house was pretty scary. It was also the longest I’d visited of late. Hayride was great fun. I was pretty startled couple of times in the ride. I will certainly visit again next year.

  • Creepy scenes

    The haunted house set design was impressive. The winding corridors, creepy scenes, scares and smells will freak you out. There was couple of nerve-wracking moments that totally caught me by surprise. I am not revealing those as I don’t wish to spoil your fun. Zywiec’s Corn Maze was awesome too. 100% recommend this event for those who can handle a good scare.

  • Awesome experience

    Awesome experience. The haunted house had creepy interiors and pretty dark portions where you can’t see the scare actors in advance. My wife was pretty freaked out by couple of jump scares and props in the house. Actors’ were professionals in both parts of the haunt. Overall, we had great fun.

  • Super thrilling!!

    Super thrilling. Really good experience! I had a great time. One thing of note was that the characters were new and unique. I have not seen those in any other haunt in the state. Food and drinks were awesome, and the band sounded great. Staff was helpful whenever we sought some assistance. Worth the time.

  • Email Verified Terrible place

    Terrible place. One of the worst haunted attractions I’ve visited in the recent times. Trust me, who got scared by animatronics of some animals and other stuff. I found myself laughing more than being scared throughout the hayride.

  • Email Verified Truly scary

    I am new to haunted houses and I along with my girlfriend visited this place. As beginners, we were full of anxiety and very nervous. But, staff was very friendly and told us everything and clarified all our queries. It started with the hayride which lasted for 45 minutes and it was full of terrors and threating acts performed by actors and actress. My girlfriend never stopped screaming while we were going through the corn maze and it was truly scary. Will visit again next season.

  • Insanely creepy

    Blazing stuffs on Highway 61. We went in a group of four. Fortunate to have the fast pass tickets to skip the queue and it’s prudent to bought the same. We started with hayride and it was long enough to have enough scare points. The characters are insanely creepy in their own right and will not fail to scare you. Really liked their acts and we screamed, yelled and ran so many times.

  • Honest Review

    Unless you get easily spooked, this attraction is not for you. It is more for children than adults. The line was nearly two hours long and the haunted house itself was mediocre. The hayride was alright but not necessarily scary. Then the haunted house after allows participants to enter in groups which is okay. However, they let you in so quick that you will catch up to the group before you. The haunted house itself could use better effort. There will be loud noise so don't expect anything silent & creepy. Overall, there needs improvement.

  • Email Verified Good place for Halloween

    Good place for Halloween, but has its share of flaws. The lines were managed quite poorly, we really had to wait for a long time even with a fast pass. The actors were fine, but at many times they were too loud, added to that the noises and music were turned up to high levels too. Wish they put good use of ‘silence’, especially since it’s a scary place. Appreciate the effort taken by the cast and crew, hope they correct these and make it more audience-friendly the next time.

  • Brilliantly laid corn maze

    This is the best haunt spot around! We were startling and all actors were draped in multiple outfits as monsters, zombies and creepy clowns to hamper our strength against the fear. The corn maze was also brilliantly laid and theme sounds of mourning performed by actors were damn scary.

    Wouldn’t recommend to anyone, we couldn’t think of even positive aspect about the whole haunt after coming out. I would like to give only 1 star from my part.

  • Not well arranged

    The place was crowed and they put us with a large group we could see all the hiding places. The fun comes only for those who are at the first place. Not well arranged. We couldn't enjoy the haunt completely because of the long wait.

    This was really fun. There was so much detail to the gore in the displays, I wish I could take more time to appreciate it! The actors all do a great job, too. One of the best hauntings I've been to.

    We really liked the way they involved us in the show. It was very interactive and super-scary of course. Can’t help applauding the actors, they were very dedicated, never got out of the characters till the end. The staff was great too, was very happy in assisting us whenever we needed them.

    This one has the right mix of fun and frights, delivered in the most perfect manner. We laughed, we screamed and we enjoyed a hell lot. Amazing team, amazing performances and an amazing place.

  • Amazing!!

    Very underrated horror attraction. The Haunted Hayride is my favorite. They really get you. I love going every year. Not only scary, but fun when with significant others. The characters hardly ever break character and the mini donuts are great.

  • So awesome!!

    This is the best haunted attraction I have been too. The hayride is super fun, and the haunted house is very scary. I go to multiple haunts every year and I would say this is the best. And if there is one thing that sets them apart, it's their acting. Very dedicated and frightening

  • Great Place

    I come to visit more than once a year because this place is great! Pretty scary and great hay ride.. Also because my mother in law had a recent stroke so I e mailed this place and asked about strobe lights (because she can't be near them) they said no problem just tell them at the door and we will turn them off for you! If I could rate more that five pumpkins I would. Hands down best haunted attraction

  • pretty awesome

    I agree with the first review, the Haunted House is actually freaky and also the haunted hayride (I got scared with the pennywise chainsaw guy) and its fun when they look like they're hijacking it. But do not do paintball, useless, if u think they gonna chase the ride and jump on, ur wrong. I'm going again this year and might try out the corn maze. Once I do, I'll rate this again. Not to mention they sell pumpkins and have a party zone too if you like to party and if u are, go on the weekend they snack bars and sell mini donuts, soda and I think even pizza but yeah. That's my review on the Haunting Experience in Highway 61. I went in 2012 BTW.

  • Quite the production

    2012 was the first year we went to A Haunting Experience and it was pretty impressive: multiple buildings, 3D glow in the dark, haunted hayride. I don't want to fault the effort but between the four of us that went on the 19th, we really couldn't piece together much that was different from the previous year. They added a zombie paintball hayride (seperate entry cost) that two of us decided to try. Wasted money. It was too quick. Even with some woefully insufficient lighting from the wagon, it was nearly impossible to see where the paintballs were going, especially considering how far away the small handful of zombies were. My paintball hopper was still 25% full when the ride ended - no refunds, no you can't take the remaining paintballs. Pffft!So, to sum up, the primary haunt was good, just don't go back to back years and avoid the zombie paintball.
