Saw a video walkthrough from Tampa Jay on YouTube, and I immediately knew I had to experience Spookywoods for myself! Me and my sister made the almost 3 hour drive to Archdale, and needless to say it was well worth it! It took about an hour to go through the attraction and we did NOT feel rushed. I figured being the weekend before Halloween they would be cycling guests through as fast as possible, but that was not the case. We got to walk at a steady pace and enjoy the attraction without having the next group on our heals.
Think about purchasing the immediate entry or VIP if you’re not a fan of waiting in longer lines. A lot of times, the line is equally as fun as the haunt for me. If it weren’t such a lengthy drive home for us, I would’ve just purchased general admission or VIP because the DJ seemed to keep it entertaining and fun while you wait. The music was great, and the atmosphere as you’re in line seemed equally as great. We did, however, purchase the immediate entry pass, so we bypassed the line and got in super quick. It was maybe a 10-15 minute wait.
Employees were wonderful and treated the guest with respect. They seem to enjoy working there! Despite heavy crowds, each employee I came in contact with asked us if we enjoyed ourselves, chatted a bit, and helped ensure we had a great time. They were very friendly.
As far as sets, icons was by far my favorite part of the attraction! The third leg of the haunted attraction (after you get off the tractor from the icons section) comes in as a close 2nd for me! The sets were detailed and amazing, so much that you feel immersed in the experience. The actors were in character and put 100% effort into their scenes. I don’t get scared very often when going through haunted houses, but several jump scares got me. All I can say is watch out for Jason! Me and my sister let out a big "holler." Kersey Valley knows how to design a quality haunted house for maximum scares. I will definitely be returning next year and years to come!
