I finally made it to Garlic Fest this year and it was very hot and very crowded. It took about half…read morean hour to get to the on-site parking ($10 for parking), but getting into the festival from the parking lot was quick if you pre-ordered tickets online. My group arrived probably at the height of the event (Saturday - noonish) and there was a long line at every food vendor. The festival was much larger than expected and we were there for a good 3 hours. There is live music scattered around the venue and lots of samples from the vendors. You can probably go through the festival within an hour when the crowd is more manageable (very early or later in the day).

They do such a fantastic job with this festival. I go every year. I should have taken my own advice…read moreand brought something to shade myself with. It was a whopping 91°. The vendors are in their same spot as they were the previous years so I was able to go and get everything that I love, especially the garlic ice cream! It is still $10 to park! It is $15 to get in! They have a credit card option now for entry too. Everything garlic! Fun fall day.

It's $11 for adults. Buy the ticket on the side of the house. Look for signs. The tours are self guided with docents stationed in each room. The tickets are sold in the gift shop. During holiday they have cider and cookies ( nothing special). Start with some info before the 7 min video. It's bad quality but what do u expect from 1986?!? They have the old house floor plans and pictures of the family tree. The main house is amazing but access/tour is only the first floor. People seem to complain but honestly it's a small preservation organization that are doing their best to restore and have mainly volunteers working. The grounds are lovely. Spring looks better. And was told every two years has some artist sculpture event. Winter has xmas decorations.

You aren't going to get recent films they feature primarily classic movies. It is a massive lot and they allow you to pick anywhere to park. The first film starts at 8:40 which I thought was late but due to the longer summer days it gets dark pretty late. The food wasn't crazy expensive but in retrospect I wish I bought my own fast food in. I ordered 2 hot dogs, a cheese nacho and mozzarella sticks for roughly 18 dollars. I only stayed for one film and it was easy to drive out the lot to leave in between the double feature but you definitely have to be smart about where you park. The only miscues is the address is a bit tricky to find. Easy to miss the turn. Also the concession stand light reflects on the screen.

I wasn't sure the kids would stay entertained through a two-hour air show, but they did (mostly!), and being outdoors definitely helped. The show itself was fun and laid-back, with a loose storyline, impressive stunts, and a nostalgic vibe. You can bring your own food and drinks, or grab something from the concession stand, which was reasonably priced. The small gift shop has cute souvenirs for kids, and the nearby hangars filled with old planes and vehicles were great to explore before the show started. The only downside was that it was a bit hard to hear the narration over the PA system, but it didn't take away from the experience. Overall, a charming, family-friendly day trip worth checking out.

The show + museum access is about $30/pp. There are a couple of gift shops (one in the air field and one by the museum area), snack stands (CASH ONLY) with hot dogs, burgers, fries, etc., and a workshop. One con is there's no phone signal and no wifi on the premises so it is best to preload any maps if you're not familiar with the area and need gps.

One of the Best Haunted Attractions I've Ever Been To!…read more Wow, what an awesome night! I had such a great time at this haunted house and hayride. Everything was so well done and incredibly detailed--it's clear that a lot of thought and effort went into creating the experience. The ticket included several different attractions, and I really liked how each one flowed into the next. It wasn't just a bunch of random scares--it felt like one long, immersive story. It took about 2 hours to go through everything, and it never got boring! The hayride was honestly next-level. I've done haunted hayrides before, but nothing like this. The scenes, the actors, the effects... and YES--there was a real horse with a headless rider That moment totally blew my mind and made the whole thing feel so much more legit and spooky. The costumes and actors throughout the entire night were seriously impressive--super detailed and genuinely scary. You could tell the cast was really committed, and it made the whole experience feel that much more real. They also have shops set up where you can grab snacks and hot cocoa, which was a nice touch after all the excitement. I saw this place only had 3 stars on Yelp, and honestly--I don't get it. This was such a well-executed haunted attraction, and I truly had an amazing time. I'd definitely come back and will be recommending it to friends. Don't sleep on this one if you're looking for a memorable spooky night out!

They rely heavily on jump scares, and there are plenty of them to keep you entertained. I'd manage expectations on the production value. While other reviewers mentioned 'Hollywood level' props, I didn't quite see that. The sets are good, but not mind-blowing. Have I been to scarier haunted attractions? Absolutely. But the Headless Horseman's strength is its atmosphere. You can't beat the genuine, spooky vibe of being on a huge plot of dark farmland, surrounded by rustling cornrows. It's an entertaining night out that's all about enjoying the seasonal spirit.
