Kersey Valley Spookywoods

My family went Oct 3rd, opening weekend. First off we drove over 200 miles to go to this so we made the day out of it in Greensboro and had a lot of fun. We got our tickets on Vet Tix (thank you Vet Tix!! And donors!!) so we figured why not let’s do a little day trip! We try to go to 4-6 haunts a year and we are always looking for new ones to try that we haven’t done, this haunt is not new but it is to us. Parking is easy, we showed up early 7:30, parked got in line. By 9pm we were entering the house. I think being opening night they did start later which is fine because while in line the DJ kept us dancing and they tossed t shirts and beads out. The scare actors were engaging and we got tons of selfies/pictures. We even spoke to the very nice lady directing the line for quite a bit and she gave us some history about the haunt and location. She was very very friendly and nice. They have port o potties in the line area which is nice. I won’t give any spoilers to the haunt BUT it was amazing! It was very long and time consuming and not because it was packed or crowded. We were in a small group and it was perfect. The amount of actors was incredible and the details were amazing. We had more fun here and more scares here than we did at HHN Universal studios. I don’t want to take anything away from HHN because that’s a different style of haunt but we had way more engagement with the actors here, so many pictures, they played with us and made us feel so special! We will be back and want to check out Christmas activities here too. Also, they have real bathrooms in the midway so you can wash your hands and eat their YUMMY donuts after. They have drinks and treats. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves to have some fun during the spooky season. Thank you for a fun evening!!

First of all, Spookywoods (Kerseyvalley Attractions) holds a giant place in my heart. From humble beginnings to the awesome spooktackular haunt fest it is, Spookywoods is a great place to spend a weekend night in October. The sets are well thought out and planned meticulously and forever expanding (Seriously, it's like the Winchester Mystery House ..never finished being built). This year they have been working like busy bees to open up 'HAUNT COUTURE' a new spooky retail shop that will be open all year (of course while Kersey Valley is open ..think fall and Christmas). ICONS is a staple set and has some of the best touches from the slasher movies. Bates Motel is a nice touch and I love the immersion. And the actual 'SPOOKY WOODS' part (the rest of the haunt after you get off the tram after ICONS) has some awesome scenes as well. From Zombies, to Clowns and even MAN EATING PLANTS (beware, you may end up in the pumpkin patch as a prop). The actors are well trained and you can tell, LOVE what they do. When they get into character, they STAY in character until the makeup comes off (some even stay in character on their social media pages and interact with you there as well....a nice touch, IMO). The DJ in the line queue keeps the crowd pumped with music, beads and tshirt give aways. The staff elsewhere is friendly and helpful. The food (especially the coffee from Endoras) is great! The bathrooms are clean and we'll manageable as well. I honestly can't rave enough about this place. They also offer (at other times), a Fall Festival, Christmas, Escape Rooms and even Zip Lining. Seriously, fun for the whole family.

I absolutely loved the sets! They definitely outdid themselves this year! I was definitely impressed with every scene! The actors were phenomenal! Definitely got my friends and I a few times! Definitely worth the trip from SC!

Spookywoods was really good for the 2025 season! We went on the first available Saturday, and while most of the sets were the same as the year prior, there were noticeable changes and improvements like they usually add each year. I am someone who has been to haunted attractions dozens of times at this point, so it is quite difficult to scare me. This year, I actually yelled out loud in the first area and even got badly jump scared by a camouflaged actor towards the end of the attractions. Someone in my party and I also got t-shirts for $20 each with cool designs, which I think is very affordable for a place like this. The only thing I will say is that the “cashless” policy listed online is a little misleading. Parking is cash only, and at the merch stand I was told they accept cash even though it said that they wouldn’t online. This was a minor hiccup though, and I would recommend that everybody comes to kersey valley for Halloween. From year to year it is always the most exciting and fresh for me!

Yet again, another Great year!! top notch scares, Great production!! Loved it all. My son’s first big haunted house experience … he hasn’t stopped talking about it!! Love the character interaction in the beginning. Everyone was great!! And parking was only $10

My son begged to go (at only 7) & there were other kids of similar age attending. He was SO excited and that QUICKLY changed after the first section when he started having a panic attack & the actors were SO attentive to him, broke character to ensure he was okay and helped us be escorted out! They took the time to explain to him how brave he was for attempting to go. 10/10! Of course we will wait until the recommended age to take him back. But even with my son's reaction I've never felt like we were in such a SAFE spot for all ages! Definetly a family environment.

Edit to review: was originally a 1 star, but changing this due to amazing customer service. They contacted us, refunded the tickets, and invited us back. Most companies these days don’t care, but these guys get a 5 star for their customer service. Original review below. Was really good for the first half of it. After that, our group had a content creator in it that was going through with lights and flashes, holding up the line, ruining the scares for the rest of us, stopping the actors to make fake scenes with them. They had a staff member with them who said it was okay. If this is the sort of thing allowed, fine? But put them in their own group. My wife and I drove over 3hrs to visit here, and bought the VIP fast pass, just to watch someone walk through with a flash light and stop the show to make scenarios happen with the actors. Their rules on their website prohibit this behavior but the staff were permitting it and even escorting her around. I guess the rules don’t apply if you’re “internet famous”

The theatrics and set-ups were amazing — very creative and well-done! It wasn’t particularly scary, but it was definitely entertaining and visually impressive. One downside is that even though you make an appointment for a specific time, you still end up standing in line for hours. They do a good job keeping the line fun with live entertainment, but they really should add a food booth and some trash cans along the line so people have places to throw things away. They also need more bathrooms — and some lighting in them! It doesn’t make sense to have dark outhouses with no light; people can’t see and it gets messy. Overall, a fun experience with room for a few practical improvements

The first time I went to Spooky Woods in 2017 I instantly fell in love and now we make it a mission go back every October even if we have to drive an hour and a half to get there. The atmosphere is unlike any other haunted attraction I have been to. As soon as you enter the property the tone for a haunted adventure is immediately set and it feels like you just walked into Halloween Town. The DJ and club spooky with the music and all the lights as you wait in line is such a fun experience but we highly recommend the VIP/Immediate Access tickets if you want to skip the line because the wait times are normally 1-2 hours for general. It's well worth the extra $20. They change it up so it's a new experience every year but every time I promise you will literally feel like you were dragged into a horror movie with their top tier scenic design, costumes, makeup, props, and insane special effects. You can tell how much effort and detail is put in and how much the owner Tony and his team care about making it A+ quality. They are active on their socials and post behind the scenes stuff sometimes so give them a follow. Also check the website before you go if it's your first time especially the FAQ section. They allow small purses. For safety you go through security and a metal detector when you first enter. They will check your bag and you will empty your pockets. Smoking of any kind is not allowed on the property. They recommended arriving a half hour early to make time for traffic, parking, and getting settled in. They have nice bathrooms so definitely go before you get in line because all they have in line is a porta potty and the attraction itself normally lasts a little over an hour. They have scare actors roaming around to interact with guests and take pictures. They also take a group picture before you enter the attraction and they are available to purchase after. They are always good quality photos! They have a few grab and go concession options where you can get fudge, candied nuts, funnel cakes, soft pretzels, popcorn, nachos, hot dogs, chicken tenders, etc. I think the must try is the apple cider donuts. They are so delicious! They also serve alcohol. Grab a 21+ band when you first enter to purchase. Kersey Valley also does other attractions during the day. We have only been to the pumpkin patch and corn maze but they have so much more! Check them out! You won't regret it!

We came Sunday night! The family and I enjoyed the icons section! The bates stuff was over the top accurate! Likely the best set/scene I've ever seen the kids loved the actors at the beginning before entering. The witch and the warlock were very menacing and got them pretty good. They even scared adults just by walking past. The amusing part for me and my wife was the scares from the cowboy and the orange hair cowgirl. They were chasing folks, cracking jokes, they even made us jump and laugh. This was our first visit and now I wanna come back every year! Great job to the entire show. Yall put on a spectacle of a performance to behold
