Extremely disappointing experience, complete waste of money. My 12 year old daughter and her best friend really wanted to go to a haunted house. Her bff lives out of town so we planned a weekend night around this. We got there at 7pm and the line was basically 3 blocks long. We waited for 5 HOURS and decided to finally leave, so I have no idea what the actual haunted house was like. I can't believe we actually waited that long, but I was determined to give these kids a cool experience. It was actually miserable. It was freezing, and there were only a few port o potties down near the main building so everyone was dipping out of line to go across the street and go to the bathroom in between two old boxcars. The girls were so cold and could barely keep their eyes open and finally asked to leave. I felt like crying when we stepped out of the line, I was so frustrated and could really see the defeat on the girls faces. A whole evening wasted, and we didn't even get the experience I'd payed for. And, OF COURSE, there are no refunds. I do see on the website that I can try to go back on a different night and get in, but, after last nights experience I have no energy or desire to go through that again, not to mention my daughters friend was only in town for one night.
The line was so slow moving because, apparently, there is a VIP line that has priority over the common folk, if you are willing to spend more. I'd already spent over $100 on our 3 tickets and, to be honest, that seemed steep considering I already knew the haunted house was going to be a 15 - 20 min experience. I am a single parent and this felt like a big splurge, I definitely was not going to pay more than that. Really got the vibe that this was, as another reviewer called it, a "money grab". I will not be going back and cannot recommend this experience to anyone.
