It's a free event, so a long line is understandable -- just something to plan for. The overall vibe inside was fun and worth checking out if you've got the patience. My only suggestion would be for them to open more than just four days in October. That would help spread out the crowds and make it easier for more people to enjoy the experience without such a long wait.

The theme this year is "Evil in the London Fog," and right when you enter, you feel like you've stepped into a foggy, cobblestoned, Victorian London of the past. This was my first haunted house I've ever done, and I don't like being scared. It is the perfect intro to haunted houses for someone like myself who is a scaredy cat - it was light on gore and very brief which made it manageable to walk through. There was a bit of a line, but it moved quite fast. The haunted house is built on their front yard (amazing), so you will get through it quite quickly. It is free, which is incredible for the amount of work that goes into it. However! There is a box where you can leave donations, and all proceeds go to Volunteers of the Burbank Animal Shelter. Everyone who was working the haunt was so friendly, with fantastic themed costumes to boot. Absolutely wonderful vibes all around! They deserve no tricks and ALL the treats!

We even met Zombie Joe himself outside, super friendly guy. And as a sweet bonus, they were handing out freeze-dried Skittles for everyone. Small touch, big win. Already looking forward to the next one.

This was my first time visiting the Opechee haunt, but its reputation precedes it: the young…read moredesigner has been creating haunts and mazes ever since he was in the single digits, and he completely changes the theme every year. Not content with just doing a walkthrough with monsters jumping out, this is an ambitious haunt - one that strives to tell a story and go for more than just jump scares. This year's maze required you to go through one at a time, which built up some nerves beforehand. The walkthrough was designed to let the participant fully experience each scene, with lights to guide you to the next room. While there were some jumps, a lot of it was about bearing witness to important parts of the Donnie Darko movie, and I appreciated the uniqueness here. There were a couple of times when it was confusing to try to figure out where to go next, or I would be led into the next room before the person before me was done, which broke the illusion of aloneness a bit. Still, this ambitious haunt was super impressive, not just for a teenager and not just for a home haunt, but in general. The people behind this really made something impressive happen and have the vision to create haunts that really stand apart - with each passing year, I'm sure the execution will grow tighter and tighter.

The line moved quickly even though they had security checking bodies and bags for things not permitted. FYI, water bottles are not allowed. There were three mazes. Two of them were decent, but I found the Elvira one to be boring. I also paid additional money to shoot at zombies. The one minute they give you to shoot is not worth the amount of money you pay . We also had funnel cake which was way over cooked.

First thing's first - it goes without saying, but you're gonna pay a pretty penny for everything…read more Here's the damage for tickets: (1) For the Hayride only, it's $54 per person ($47 + $7 fees). (2) For General Admission (Hayride & entry to each maze), it's $59 per person ($47 + $12 fees). (3) For the VIP Fast Pass (General Admission for a 1/3 of the wait time), it's $73 per person ($47 + $26 fees). (4) For Platinum Skip The Line (literally walk right up to the front of the Hayride & each maze), it's $135 per person ($47 + $88 fees). Whatever entry ticket you choose, they're going to add $3 if you choose to ride the Hayride between 7PM-11PM (event closes at midnight on the weekends, earlier on weekdays). Each guest is required to sign a waiver before entry. Add-ons include: (1) Midnight Falls Axe Throwing - $7 for 5 axe throws. (2) Zombie Splat GellyBall Experience - $10 for firing at live actor zombies with a water balloon gun ala paintball. (3) Scary-Go-Round - $5 to ride the merry go round. (4) Mini Escape Rooms - $8 to play a mini escape room. (5) Madame Aurora Seance Theater - $10 to watch a seance. (6) Combo Pack - $25 for entry to the Seance Theater, Zombie Splat, Scary-Go-Round, and Midnight Falls Axe Throwing. (7) S'Mores Package - $8 to make your own smores by fire. (8) Digital Photo Album Access - $5 to access any photos taken at the event. Parking options: (1) Gold Parking - $60 for the closest and most convenient parking near the Hayride. (2) Premium Parking - $25 for parking at the Merry-Go-Round lot. (3) Free parking - park at the L.A. Zoo and a free shuttle will take you to & from the event. My wife and I scored free General Admission tickets from Long Beach's Midsummer Scream so that was a breeze. Since we're not psychotic, we opted for the free parking at the zoo. Plenty of bus shuttles coming/going with lots of room to cram everyone for the short ride to the event. After arrival, you have to walk downhill through the dirt to get to the entrance. Fyi - the whole place is dirt, so wear closed shoes (preferably not your favorite) and be prepared to thoroughly clean them the next morning. We hit the Hayride first and walked right through the back to wait in line for 5 minutes. Scare actors interact with everyone waiting to get your blood pumping. Don't know how long the actual Hayride was, but it was pretty lengthy with lots of different sections/scenes to see. Honestly not too shabby! Only complaint is that you're seated at the sides of the wagon, so you're going to be awkwardly turned the entire time. Doesn't matter which side you're on as the scares are on both (even above!). There are 3 mazes and we went through them all. Monae Manor had a big line to get in but it was like 20 minutes so not too bad. It was by far the best one out of the trio. Hillbilly Halloween was the furthest from the others and had the shortest line. It was also a pretty fast walkthrough - meh. Elvira's Trick or Treat Mayhem had the longest line but moved along at a decent pace. It was ok, but there was a weird part where you walk through like a heavy tarp and scare actors are pushing on both sides to get you disoriented like you're being swallowed. If you're claustrophobic, you might want to skip this one. We had our fill with good eats - lots of options to choose from. Had a slice of supreme pizza from The Wicked Oven ($12). Wifey got a burger, fries and drink from Carnivore Kitchen ($23). We shared an apple cider topped with a cider donut from the Midnight Falls Cider Mill ($15). We shared a Sonoran Hot Dog from Nightmare in Nogales ($19). We grabbed a sleeve of Ghoul Scout Cookies from Fresh Baked Cookies ($11) for the ride home. The apple cider and cookies were the best from what we tried. Though expensive, we had a blast at the 2025 L.A. Haunted Hayride and wouldn't mind coming back next year. Lots of photo ops all over the place, lots of scare actors throughout (some with chainsaws), and a ridiculous amount of strobe lights & fog machines. The event is what you make of it and how much you're willing to spend. Paying for parking is insane and the VIP/Platinum passes aren't worth it as you'll still have to wait in line no matter what (just a little shorter). It probably won't be worth going too late as you won't get to do everything - we went at 7PM when they opened, did everything (except the add-ons) and were back at the car by 11:30PM. If you're prone to seizures, sadly this isn't for you. Website says it might be too intense for kids 12 and under, but there were plenty of little boils and ghouls running around so who knows. It's a dry event so absolutely no alcohol or smoking. No restrooms, just porta potties that have no lights inside so expect a dark sticky time. Take a shower when you get home and thoroughly blow your nose because you'll be dusty all up in there. Prices and experience may vary.

But seeing the yard is also fun for adults. There are several animatronics which viewers activate by stepping on a pad on the ground in front of the animatronic devices. A few of the Halloween animatronics are quite creepy. (The owners also decorate for Christmas.) Check the house's website to see what time they are playing the light/music show. The light show lasts for about 20 minutes at one time. This yard display is not a maze or walk-through. It's simply a highly creative and interactive yard display. The owners have clearly put in a ton of work. I'm not sure it's worth a drive if you're coming from a distance, but if you're in the area, it's definitely worth your time.
