    For the price it was pretty meh. Lots of great decor and the staff that was there was nice but most…read moreof the walk through was empty. Felt like they were super short on actors or something. Additionally, it doesn't matter that you buy tickets online. You will then have to stand in a stupid long line to get a wristband to THEN go stand in line at your haunted house of choice. The coordinators literally just created 1 huge line that takes hours to get through for no reason. No street vendors or entertainment outside of the houses anymore. Haven't been in a few years hence why I didn't know about the armband or general boringness of the current experience but I imagine it'll be my last time.

    DO NOT COME HERE! COMPLETE FRAUDS. If I could give them zero stars I would. They steal your money…read more We came in from out of town, thought we bought tickets for the 9 pm time slot and showed up 30 minutes before and there's a line to sign a waiver around the entire block despite the fact that we bought the tickets ahead of time and signed waivers online. But don't worry, we were told that they stay open until maybe 11 or midnight so it might be worth getting in line. We were told to stand in the same line as people who didn't buy tickets ahead of time. No warning of this line. They just take your money and assume you'll either give up or spend your entire night in a line an half of a mile long. Absolute joke.

    The Beast was a little better than The Edge of Hell -- it was scarier, and the groups had more…read moredistance between them, which helped keep some of the suspense alive. The set designs were impressive, and a few moments actually delivered a decent scare. However, it was still extremely hot inside, which made the experience uncomfortable after just a few minutes. While the timing between groups was improved compared to The Edge of Hell, the overall organization still left a lot to be desired. For $69 (for two haunted houses), I expected a smoother, more professional setup and better crowd management. Although The Beast offered more thrills, it still didn't live up to the hype or the hefty price tag. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're okay with paying a premium for an experience that feels more exhausting than entertaining.

    we were so excited to try this "top 10" nationwide haunted house…read more Tip #1 get the VIP tIcket - it saves a TON of time. However, we were chest to back with others the entire way - they slow it down briefly with a slide - but this was mostly animatronics and not many human actors. most importantly - they didn't spread out groups going through the house - which made it super hot and miserable After Beast, we went to Macabre - which was a SIGNIFICANTLY better experience - mostly human actors - couldn't recommend that one enough! 4.5/5 * for Macabre

    Coming down takes a lot less time... which was not true in the 80s.

    Jack's Hollow is a charitable haunted drive-thru for a local organization who provide Christmas…read moregift for kids who would otherwise not have a gift. As there is no fee to enter they asked that you bring unwrap toys for boys and girls. After you have driven thru the path you can park and go thru the barn that had ghost, ghouls and scary monsters . You must make a reservation and come at the time slot/date you selected. Our time slot was 9:30 and it was very busy

    We absolutely love going to Jack's Hollow every year! It's a true gem for the KC Horror community…read more There is a suggested donation of an unopened/unused and unwrapped toy that will later be wrapped and given to children in need during the holiday season (if you can't find a toy, they accept Venmo donations!). The event itself is multi-layered. You first turn your radio to their personal station and drive through some haunted woods filled with animatronics, carved pumpkins, and some living(?) characters, too. It's kind of like holiday lights, but spooky! After you park, you can walk through the outdoor decor. There is PLENTY of neat things to look at, especially their huge, handmade animatronics. You can purchase apple cider slushies and popcorn if you're hungry, and there is a port-o-potty if you're worried about peeing your pants Finally, you can go inside to walk through a life-sized replica of the Evil Dead house, you can curl up on a couch and watch the Halloween Tree or go inside and watch a grown up spooky movie. There are other scenes to walk through, too. This is fun for all ages, the people that run the event are so sweet. They make and keep up the scenes and do so out of the kindness of their hearts. So, if you want a fun place to explore without getting too scared, or you want to see some fantastic craftsmanship, I recommend going to Jack's Hollow asap. You can sign up for a visit on their webpage!

    Out of all the downtown haunted houses this is the WORST!! Do NOT waste your money on this one…read morefolks, you basically pay to walk through a house with tons of stairs and weird hallways that have no scares or interesting effects I was seriously under whelmed. The most boring haunted attraction I've ever attended, the house also seemed severely under staffed and is definitely NOT worth your cost of admission. Don't waste your time with this one!

    There is a reason this attraction costs less than the others... it's more of a dark maze than a…read morehaunted house. Not really scary at all. Not very many ghouls roaming around. A good beginner's house, is how I'd describe it. It's fact, that the original owner of "Poe's Chambers" died in the elevator shaft while doing general maintenance on it. It's also fact, that the coffins used in the "coffin room" are real, once-had-someone-buried-in-them, coffins. They should really capitalize on those two facts to enhance the creepiness of this haunted attraction. They do not even mention it, to my knowledge. Furthermore, something that could be done to enhance the scare factor, is to explain the Poe stories a bit better. Develop the plot. Signs on the wall, a running commentary. A pamphlet they hand out to people in line... I realize the point is to move people through, but there has to be a way to tell the stories better. Maybe a recommendation on the website to read Poe's stories. I haven't read anything by Poe since high school, some 15 year ago. The props in the rooms, although well done, were lacking in any explanation and would have held more "punch" if there had been some instilled fear behind them. Some understanding. I heard people in line talking about the Tell-Tale Heart - they didn't even know the name of the story or any of the details, except something about being buried alive. And, without knowing that, or understanding what you're experiencing afterward in the house - what is there to really be scared of? It's just a maze with some eerie scenes thrown in, a lot of flashing lights and some obstacles to crawl through, but definitely lacking in the spook factor. So, if it's your first time ever experiencing a haunted house, read some Poe stories and then go. Enjoy this and build up to the real thing, a few blocks down and around the corner. If you've already been to the "granddaddy of them all", do not waste your money here. You'll be unimpressed, I fear.

    June 2026- DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE HANDICAPPED and want to ride coasters…read more So here is my June 2026 review...and I can't wait to update this in a few years. This park has a lot of potential. I can't wait to see what the Enchanted people do to/for it. There were a lot of rides down, like a lot a lot. Someone in the parking lot warned us as they were coming out and we were going in that "more than half the park is closed" and he wasn't wrong, but not being locals these were the two days on our road trip that we could come to this park. A bunch were down for the two days we were there with nothing to indicate they were going to open...Others had opened and closed a few times over the two days. There are walking paths that would have made life on this forty-something year old easier that were blocked off for the train tracks. (I imagine on years when they were better staffed they had someone at these spots to open and close the gates as needed for the train.) These spots would have saved a good amount of time, and some energy. It frustrating to see where you need to get to, but you have to walk pretty far out of the way...and in at least on spot down a steep hill and back up it so you go under the train to get there. The few restrooms I went in seemed clean enough...pretty good actually for an amusement park. The staff I encountered seemed nice enough....but should realize that if someone is getting an ADA pass because they don't get along with stairs, maybe let those people know it's going to be a rough day and elevators may as well not exist in this park. Really, there should be staff at the ride entrances for all of the rides. They should be able to tell you where the ada entrance to the ride is located. (The entrance to the ada isn't always obvious. It's often the exit to the ride, but if you've never done a ride before then you don't know where you're going to come out.) If there was a staff member at the entrance to each ride they could let you know that either the elevator doesn't work, or that you need staff to help you with the elevators? I'm not even sure if all of the elevators needed staff/ a key to operate, or if every one was just broken, but since you couldn't find an employee outside of the stations there was no one to ask, so either you're not riding or stuck figuring out the stairs. (Thank god for my husband and his patience) Long story short, they need to get their act together concerning ada/ride accessibility. They need to staff the park better.
