Magical unicorn here! I visited Fright Factory this year on the final Saturday (the busiest night)…read morebefore Halloween and it is well worth the money, especially when you can go alone or at most a group of two. The scare actors timed their approaches perfectly and scared the living !@#$%^&* out of me more than ten times. I was scared out of my mind at one point and thought about leaving, but I had to continue because, well, I paid for a VIP ticket! At one point, I could not see in front of me and I felt so discombobulated that I wanted to sit and calm myself down. Right after I left the haunt, I felt really nauseous. That's how scary this was. This haunt is THE BEST HAUNT IN PHILLY 2025. Eastern State Penitentiary was good. Lincoln Mill was better. But this haunt... jeez, it's on another level. Nobody's paying me to say any of this. I like going to places without someone else swaying my opinion. The scenes are really good and well thought out. Lincoln Mill tried copying one of the scenes at Fright Factory but it pales by comparison to Fright Factory. You will be scared out of your mind when the monster approaches you in it. Big props to the creepy clowns. They make Art the Clown look normal by comparison. One clown in particular had this way of approaching me that was hella creepy. I was freaked out! I timed this haunt on my smart watch at 25 minutes from start to finish. It is described as three parts/acts/sections according to their web site and other reviews. There's more to it than just thinking about the haunt as sections. If you submerge yourself into any one room for too long, you will see, as I did, how scary that could be. I was hightailing it out of certain areas as fast as I could as the monsters chased after me, sometimes for long corridors before they let up. You're looking at a much longer haunt stepwise than most other haunts. According to my smart watch, I experienced almost 4 minutes of 127+ bpm heart rate (that's super high intensity), about 11.5 minutes of 99-127 bpm heart rate (high intensity), and 11 minutes of 71-99 bpm moderate intensity. I'm an elite level athlete (#6 in the world in yoga asana competition), so your experience may differ. If you suffer from any heart or breathing conditions, be sure to get that all well-maintained before you enter this scary haunt.

They definitely need more actors. The area is dirty waiting in line. The guy was yelling at people…read moreto form a straight line when everyone was already in a straight line. It was super annoying. Lincoln Mills in Manayunk is so much better.

The Bates Motel was a good event to celebrate spooky szn!…read more I came to Bates Motel with my niece and nephew and we all had a good time. I purchased the tickets ahead which was pricey but overall worth it! The tickets included admittance to the three attractions which were the haunted house, hayride and the corn maze. My fav was the corn maze, the actors did a good job with jumping out at random moments. I definetly got a good scare or two lol! My only gripe was the long lines, each attraction took about 40 minutes to enter due to the long lines. At the end we got cinnamon sugar donuts which were hot and delicious!

I think this year was the 3rd time I have visited Bates Motel and still found it to be impressive…read more This time, I came on a Saturday night and holy moly, there was alot post people. The business does a great job managing the crowds of people from lines and parking. Be warned that you can't bring large purses or backpacks. This was not clear when we bought tickets, and online it only said to make sure we wore closed toed shoes. Aside from that, I paid approx $60 and for 3 haunted attractions on a Sat night, including parking, was a good price. The haunted hayride was the true showstopper in my opinion but the corn maze and house were good too. Really fun overall!

I've been here twice - once about 15 years ago, and again last night on an absolutely perfect fall…read morenight with my 11-year-old son. It was a blast! After taxes and fees, tickets for a 7:00 time slot on Friday were $49 apiece. Definitely expensive, but I felt we easily got our money's worth. It's in the middle of nowhere south of Mullica Hill. We got there around 6:40 and parking was easy with floodlights in the lot and many signs and attendants guiding cars. There are four different attractions included in the ticket. It starts with a hayride, then onto three different areas that you walk through. Each area is an absolute assault on the senses: loud music and sound effects, actors jump scaring you, running at you screaming with chainsaws, flashing lights and bursts of fire everywhere. Definitely fun but not for the faint of heart. Everything here is truly next level from the costumes and makeup on the actors, to the pyro technics, to the hundreds of animatronics, and the overall attention to detail in the set designs. Afterwards they have campfires to sit by and lots of food for purchase. It was really nice to sit and just people watch and enjoy the atmosphere. Just an all around classic South Jersey Halloween experience that everyone should try at least once. If haunted attractions are your thing, you definitely need to try this one.

This was our first year doing Haunted Paintball before doing the haunted attractions and yall, I would highly recommend it! So much fun, you can buy refills on the trailer to continue shooting also. The haunted houses were amazing as well. I appreciate the switch up in attractions to keep stuff new and entertaining.

Visited here for Valentine's Day Haunt. I didn't realize how big it was. They have like 4 different…read morehaunted houses for this event. They did a good job of trying to scare you with using fog or light that blinked a lot. I do feel like they could have done a better job with the haunting. Like there was one section where there was a tunnel and it was too foggy to see anything. There were a ton of mannequins you had to walk past. I think it would have been nice if they would have had some actual people in there so they could come back from behind and scare you. The haunt also featured palm readers and had a bar where they were also playing live music. There were some characters dressed up near the bar as well which was interesting. The staff was really friendly and took an ample amount of pictures for us. If you bought premium tickets, there was a separate line and they had access to a VIP bar as well (to be honest, it didn't seem worth it to me but I also wasn't drinking).

I have to say that we throughly enjoyed our time at pennhurst. I think some of the actors and even…read morethe robotics/animaltronics whatever you call them were amazing. I don't scare easily at all and one of them actually got me. I did not like the spin bridge thing I was dizzy but I get that the point. I don't like that you dint have a choice of which order to do the attractions in that you have to do them in order and there's nothing really in between like a bonfire or snacks, bathrooms were plentiful though. Also my favorite part of haunted places is always the hayride so I missed that but again everything that was there was really good. The asylum part itself was the best part. There was some sort of incident at the end and we were rushed out and it was hush hush so we didn't get snacks or shopping at the end but it's ok the kids got frosty's at Wendy's on the way home. I would recommend and do it again.

Every year it is getting better and better. I went in with the thought that if it is not better, I…read moream not going to return. This year they really did well. I enjoyed going from one haunted attraction to another. In the past few years I felt like they were going in the direction of a hangout and drinking and less haunted attractions. But, this year they evened it out. It was a great. There was two sections to hang out and have a drink. A great way to spend your time while waiting for lines or a way to calm your nerves. I enjoyed having one haunted house after another. The special effects and the decor for the houses really were kicked up a notch this year, 2025. Ordering tickets online is very easy, and I always buy the parking pass for the zoo because it is convenient. The pricing is and can be pricy, but it is a fundraiser. So I do not really complain about it. The bus drivers were great and engaging both to there and back. I enjoyed the stories and the music. Overall this has always been my favorite haunted attraction in Philly. It really never fails. I highly recommend taking a tour outside of the Halloween time frame. I have done one of them before and loved it.

As a Philadelphian who has toured Eastern State for the daytime tours and experienced their…read moreHalloween event about 10 years ago......I had SO much fun at this recent exhibit. I'm already a scaredy cat and Act 1 of this tour had me literally jumping at every turn. Even through all the spookiness I even caught myself getting distracted by how well done the stage design was. Whoever designed each portion of the haunted house portion deserves a standing ovation. Also love that there's breaks between each "terror" moment. The food trucks there were incredibly delicious - not too sure if the same food trucks are there every night or not. The drinks were STRONG and soooo good. We got the apple cider & bourbon drink My boyfriend got the VIP experience which included entry to the Al Capone Speakeasy at the end of the tour and it was a really well done idea. Also really enjoyed their new exhibit that went more into depth about prison systems in the past vs now. Incredibly informative

The carnival rides are included so that puts it a little above others. Parking was well organized!…read moreI was scared it'd be a fight for a spot situation in a big parking lot. There's people directing it all and you park in the open grass in neat rows. All that said, I probably wouldn't go again. I feel like it's a given they'll be long lines at any horror attraction. 3 stars not because I had to wait so long but because the haunted areas were just not worth the wait. The actors were fun though, built off my groups comments and leaned into it. Ideal if you don't want to be terrified but just a little anxious. I was just left unimpressed by the hayride and indv houses/areas. I can look past the long lines, that's the case anywhere but just a little worst here. I think all the waiting really killed the mood and excitement. I believe tickets are only Friday-Sunday so no weekday options to avoid crowds.

Then the hayride drops you in the cemetery, where there's ANOTHER LINE. I feel like I spent $60 just to wait in line. We got there around 8 and it was midnight when we got to the 4th attraction because of all the waiting we had to do. We wound up tapping out because we were hungry but we didn't have a chance to really experience anything else. The scenes are nicer than other haunted houses I've been too and the scare actors were on point, I just wish it was better organized
