I was pleasantly surprised to find a short, ticket line, friendly staff/volunteers and an extremely organized number system for groups entering the house. We received a number and could then walk around, purchase snacks, crafts and raffle tickets for some cool prizes. They waited less than 10 minutes before their group was called. It was so great not having to stand on line all night. My younger child and I had fun shopping and dancing with the DJ while waiting for the girls to return. They were definitely scared and loved every minute of it. Can't wait to return next year.

They don't make you wait in line. They have a nice air conditioned holding area while you wait for your number to be called. There was a DJ and various vendors with food and beverages for purchase. Can't wait to go back this year. We're planning on making it a yearly thing.

Worthy of a visit. Here is some information regarding this natural geographic slice of nature…read more This is called The Witches Wall and is up to 200 ft tall. The narrow tunnel is cleaved from coquina stone and wedged between rows of multi-million dollar estates and the golf course for one of Palm Beach's elite private clubs. The road was carved through the hill -- which is made of coquina, a type of limestone that has pieces of coral, sea shells and marine invertebrates, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration -- in 1916 after a powerful hurricane cut off the North End from the rest of Palm Beach. These cliffs are the Coral Cut, or, more colloquially, the Witch's Wall -- one of the most storied and spooky spots in Palm Beach. One story says the little space is haunted by a girl who was imprisoned there. Some who tell the story say it was a witch who kept the girl captive. Another story says the small window led to the lair of a witch who would lure children through the gate by tempting them with sweets. Yet another tale says the cliffs are haunted by the spirits of sailors who were stranded on the coastline hundreds of years ago.

On the the southwest corner of the Palm Beach Country Club you will find Coral Cut also known as…read morethe Witch's Wall. It was created from a deposit of rock and coquina shell up to 200 feet tall that is the result of the intracoastal to the west and the ocean to the east converging on this spot. You can see the layers of sediments where they cut through to create Country Club Road. While this is an interesting place from a geological perspective what makes it fun is all of the legends surrounding this road. On the south face of the walk is a small window with a covered gate. Stories say a witch living on top of the mound would kidnap children and lock them behind the gate, hence the name Witch's Wall. What the gate is really guarding is a pipe that leads to a water pump station. Some of the spooky stories may stem from the fact that the road is very dark at night except for a single cage light on the stone wall. If you decide to drive down this road take it slowly because it is very narrow and there are signs reminding you not to stop. Once you emerge from the wall there is a gorgeous view of the Intracoastal awaiting you.

I've loved coming here since I was a kid, and my visit this year did not disappoint with my own…read morekids. This was the first year they really wanted to ride the rides. The first time we showed up just when the fair opened on the weekend, and parking was ample, so we didn't upgrade. When we returned on a later day after school, we upgraded the parking so we could get in right away. Either way. I finally know my way around: we entered through YesterYear village. I prefer leaving this way as well, as there is some space for kids running around and some benches in the village to chill and sit, plus a bathroom to use, before leaving. And... they had these giant hot glazed donuts that might have made its way into my hands for the ride home! On our tamer first visit, we looked at all the animals, and pet all the animals - my favorite part! Parade: short, certainly not worth 'waiting' for. The ice show: interesting. it was free. I appreciate the attempt to make a pirate themed ice show but some of the costumes fell short. People were snickering around us, which didn't help. Thank you to the awesome ice skaters! A cool spot to 'rest' in an air-conditioned indoor space on a hot day. The magic show: well my kids loved this. Silly, but they loved it so much they wanted to see the exact same show on their return visit. Pirate acrobat show: my younger kid liked it a lot, my older son could barely tolerate, but for me it was a miss (the pirate theme, especially). Acrigulture mini-fun row: this was so fun for my kids. Saddling fake horses, scooping fake poop, milking a fake cow: they thought this was golden. Fair food: we ate these giant donuts that were super reasonably priced for the amount of donut and filling we received. Note to self: no one ever finishes anything: bring ziplock bags because they complained they wanted to 'eat it later.' I let my kids get cotton candy, and some other ice cream concoction another time. They mostly ate the same kid theme of chicken tenders, fries, burgers, pizza. I mostly ate their leftovers- because they were finished by the time I could think about finding my own food. And then I added on some arepas later- so overpriced but delicious in the moment. My kids loved the kids rides. We bought the fastpasses, which were unnecessary on the kids rides, but a lifesaver when they moved to the adult rides. It's so fun for them to be able to repeat their favorite rides over and over. I did just buy tickets the first time, but the unlimited wristbands ahead of time. Note to self: splurge on purchasing the wristbands ahead of time! My kids begged to return every day. Why is the fair so long?! J/K... please extend LOL

It's carnival season and the South Florida State Fair is back! We purchased tickets in advanced so…read moreentrance was easy. The parking system was well organized and we were directed throughout. This year, the fair is Pirate themed. Upon entering, there is an exhibition of Black Beard's ship and all its treasures. The fair for me, is all about the food and games. There was so much to choose from. Turkey legs, corn dogs, funnel cakes and fried everything. A first for me was the fried gator on a stick. It wasn't bad at all. They were lots of games and rides for everyone. Keep in mind the biggest wheel is separate from the other rides even with an unlimited ride pass. It's an additional $7 per person. We also had to join another line to get our wrist bands. The lines moved fairly fast so this wasn't a problem. Also available, was the "Yester Year" village or as some know it, the cracker settlement. There is also a petting station for the kids. Lots of ponies, llamas and goats. I even saw a few chickens running about. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean their bathrooms were. This is an automatic 5 star rating for me. The fair runs from 12pm - 10pm. This year, there is a downloadable app with all info as well as their scheduled shows. Already excited about next year!

Our wait was ridiculously long, over an hour, but again it was free so I tried not to complain. Once we got inside the drive thru was cool. I didn't expect the actors to actually come inside my vehicle so that was a nice, spooky surprise! Although we enjoyed it, I am happy I didn't have to pay. I don't know how much it costs but I wouldn't pay for this, especially with the long wait to get in. There are other Halloween-themed attractions that are more worth your money, like Halloween Horror Nights.

In the beginning your greeted by a scary dude who tells you the story of the witch and all the people she's possessed and to be prepared for all encounters. The atmosphere was perfect having to actually walk through the forest section of the park. At night theres the flashing lights that makes things look really creepy..it was perfect. After escaping the witch and her possessed it was nice to just hang still in the park. Music is played and lots of open space for the kids to play. It's the perfect spooky treat for all.

They set up the stage with a country cover band, tables and chairs, and bleachers in this area. Other attractions at the festival included a few carnival rides, bounce house, haunted house, food trucks, pony rides, petting zoo, craft vendors. and contests for costumes, pumpkin carving, and scarecrow building. I spent the evening hanging out with my friend. We caught some of the concert and ate at the Pork O' Rican Food Truck and had Italian Ices. We shopped at the tents and I bought a light up Halloween decoration. We waited in line forever for the haunted house and laughed our heads off. Throughout the night I saw a lot of people I knew and many of the kids who go to my school. So fun to see everyone in costumes.

It used to be held in Miami but it has recently moved to the Broward County Convention Center. The event consists of vendors, fans, and celebrities mixing together over four days for a fest of pop culture. You can attend over 600 hours of programs. My daughter usually helps out at a vendor booth so she was able to take me for a tour after I got off work Thursday night. Since it was the first night it was pretty empty. If you really want to people watch Saturday is the best day to go but it will also be the day with the most challenging parking. The amount of people who will attend will far exceed what the parking garage can hold. The garage was almost full on a day when there weren't even many people. Even though not much was going on I still had fun exploring the booths. Some of my favorites include the lady who inserts cats into art masterpieces, the lanterns with scenes in them from popular movies, and Darwin and Wallace who will sell you their specimens. No matter what your fandom is you can find it here. From the preview I got last night there will be plenty going on to keep the fans happy.
