I am not sure how things were for previous guests a few years ago but it was a good blend of interaction from the actors, props and dark trail through the woods. It worked very well for us and had a few good scares along the way. The lines were short for a Friday night so there was not much waiting at all. Overall for the price it was a good value and enjoyable.

I had SUCH a blast here!! Great walk-through trails for maximum spookiness. The actors are clearly…read morehaving lots of fun. I love to give myself over to the experience and allow myself to get scared, because how often in your adult life is it permissible to scream at the top of your lungs?? It's so much fun! My only complaint is that they sent groups in without much space in between, so we were constantly catching up with the group in front of us or had the group behind us catch up with us. I can't fault them for it though, because they have to send people through relatively quickly to keep the lines moving. Since I can't think of a solution, I won't dock a star for it. Just something to keep in mind as you're going through--I'd recommend sticking to a group size of 2-4 people, so that if you catch up with the group in front it's not a HUGE backup. Thanks so much for the great experience! I'll be back next year!

Awesome set design and experience. Very fun for two adults and two teenagers…read more We bought the fast-pass and it was well worth it. Bring cash for parking, t-shirt, and drinks. The main attraction is a mile long walk through multiple themed houses. The actors are believable, intimidating, and hide in all the right places. Jump scares are guaranteed. The path is very uneven, music can be very loud, and groups of people get clustered together. We saw young kids crying. I would rate this experience PG13.

Shady and unscrupulous business owners. Go elsewhere…read more We purchased tickets to attend this event on October 25th. We intentionally wanted to go to Darkside Haunted Estates because it was more "off the beaten path" and given how many people have moved to the Raleigh area since last year, we wanted to get away from the hordes of people. We purchased our tickets for October 25th. Yes, we purchased tickets WEEKS in advance to make sure we would be able to attend just in case there was a lot of demand for October 25th. We were so excited to come that we brought two other couples with us, all of whom bought their tickets in advance. We drove an hour to get there and were greeted by a line of cars a quarter of a mile long. Whatever, right? It's the week before Halloween, there's some demand. Cool. Well we finally inch our way to the parking lot entrance and the attendant tells us "we're closed for now, we don't have any parking available, so you can drive around for thirty minutes or try to come back another night." I'M SORRY, WHAT? We bought tickets to guarantee our spot on the 25th. We told her we want a refund and we got an email address to contact them. They're only open from 7pm-10pm. It was 8:45pm, and once we got back in line we'd be behind at least 50 other cars lined up on a dark two-lane road. There's no way we're making it back to the front of the line by 9:15, and the event ends at 10pm. We contemplated going back the next weekend but given that it's an hour out of the way, it's not exactly the place you can just pop into on your way home from work. We decided to get a refund given that we did not receive the access on the 25th we paid for. We emailed them. They're now dodging our emails and not responding. We paid for two tickets plus the quick pass for a total of $37 per person, and these shysters don't have the integrity to respond to emails and refund customers for products and services they didn't receive. We'll be contacting the NC Consumer Protection division of the NC Attorney General and filing a dispute with our credit card company. This company was greedy, oversold their tickets to maximize their profits, and now they refuse to own their mistake and issue refunds. It's just going to get worse next year once another 20,000 people move here by next Halloween. Avoid this location. You've been warned.

The kids are at the age where I refuse to let them go knocking on doors asking for candy. After a little search I came across the Hollerin Haunts Hayride. Freddy Krueger was jamming to music and all the costumes were awesome. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. On the zombie hunt my son was looking at me for more paintballs and by the time I was able to get him a refill the ride was over...they had some zombies come back so he could use them all. The kids were a little hesitant to do the maze as they do scare easily...we could hear the shouts from the trail. That was the only activity we didn't participate in...maybe next year!

The trail and hayride is like a "virtual queue" which in theory is nice... until we kept waiting and waiting with no idea when it would be our turn. After 3 hours we decided to leave as the staff couldn't guarantee if we would get on in an another hour or two (by then it would be 1-2am).
