I was hesitant to go to any haunted houses or cornfields amid COVID, so this seemed like the next…read morebest thing. I decided to surprise my husband with this little adventure. We paid $50 for regular admission (VIP is $70 and gets you closer to the screen). Overall, I'm not sure I'd enthusiastically recommend but it was entertaining enough. It's essentially a 30ish minute drive in movie that involves songs and a couple of short horror film clips (seemingly more student produced than Hollywood quality). While that's all going on, there are costumed actors walking around to scare the cars. You can have your windows up and listen via a radio station or keep them down and listen through the speakers. While the films themselves were a bit laughable, the live actors did spook me a couple of times. I read it's ok for families and while I agree that kids won't be super scared, some of the movie content was a little mature (but they did bleep out expletives), so I'm not sure I'd bring young children. This was definitely a sign of the times and probably not something I'd return to, but I'm glad we gave it a shot! We laughed and relaxed in the warm comfort of our car which you can't say the same about those waiting for the haunted house next door.

I was under the impression haunted houses would not be happening due to COVID this year so when I…read moresaw this, I thought it would be a unique experience. A little bummed when I found out haunted houses in fact were still being put on but oh well. There's a lot of mixed reviews here on prices saying it was extremely expensive, I'm not sure why, our ticket was $40 for the car so $20 each, which is less then your average haunted house. The VIP ticket (which is not worth it) is $60/car. I believe at our showing there was one VIP person who was maybe 300 feet ahead of us. The movie/show they put on is pretty corny and cringe worthy, but I was more there for the scare factor anyways. When we first got there I was bummed because we'd packed the back of the car with blankets and pillows to get cozy like at a regular drive in movie, but you pull in forward and stay in your front seat. I was also hesitant because it was really bright, but they put on a ton of smoke/fog machines so the people do sometimes appear out of nowhere. I thought their costumes were pretty freaky looking in the dark (not sure about quality otherwise), and I think they did a good job splitting up their time spent at each car. That being said I think there were less then 10 cars at my showing (Tuesday 9:10pm), and I could see this being far more difficult then on a busier day. They gave us a good fright a couple times, but nowhere near as scary as a typical haunted house.

Do. Not. Go. On. A. Weekend!…read more Yikes! We got in the line at 8pm on a Saturday night and didn't actually go into the haunted house until 11:30pm...3.5 hours?!?!?! Not only was the line moving at a snails pace, but there were times where we were literally standing (or resorted to sitting) in the same block on the sidewalk for 20+ minutes with zero movement. At about 9:30pm, a group of 30 soccer players showed up, went to the VIP line and were in and out within an hour, meanwhile, we had moved approximately 30 feet forward. They say they let in two VIP groups for every one regular, but honestly this simply cannot be the case based on how slow we were moving. We also started timing how much time elapsed between groups and there seemed to by no rhyme or reason, sometimes it was a minute, but twice, it got up to three minutes between groups. I love that they want to give you the experience with just your group, however, to be effective, it really needs to be specific days/timed slots, because we would have 100% turned around and come a different day had someone told us we would be waiting for even over 2 hours. As for the haunted house itself, it's sick, it's really well done and in my opinion, a great level of scare. However, after attending Halloween Horror Nights at LA and Orlando's Universal Studios, where the longest amount of time we ever waited was 2 hours, 3.5 for a standalone is downright ridiculous and significantly played into our overall experience.

When we arrived, there are plenty of activies to do besides the trail...but I must say to go straight to the portable potties and then get in line. The time slot on the ticket doesn't really matter as the lines are pretty long. Ticket wise...you have 3 options to get and we got the middle VIP tickets. Our wait time was about 1.5 hrs in line. I can only imagine the wait time for standard tickets. As you walk through the line, there is music and the DJ was pretty good. Wished I brought some ear plugs as it was super loud as you snake through the line and got closer and closer to the speakers. So...get ear plugs! As for the trail, it was a fantastic haunted trail to go through. The stories of the staged rooms, the props, the people, the ambiance were all great. Upon entering. The staff did space out the groups a bit so that you dont see scares coming your way...props to the staff and spacing of groups! Several jump scares got me good and at the end, you get to see a museum. I would highly recommend for anyone to go and check this place out and if you can afford it, get the immediate access.

We did the membership for $170 for year for the family which seems like a great deal if you go more than a few times.

There are two glaring things though that make me hesitate to ever want to make a second trip. One is the cafe. I'm not expecting the bougie majesty like you get at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but this is in Denver. I'd consider us a pretty cosmopoliton city & this being THE Children's Museum for CO (since it's in our capitol), it should have a proper quick service option. Cold food options, fine, but a microwave for hot options? So disappointing. I noticed a lot of space dedicated to private parties, etc. Can we not junk that in favor of a real sit down spot? The worst thing though was the behavior of the older children that make the museum unusable in certain areas. Seemed to specficially be the kids on field trips. My nearly 2 year old loves a ball so you can imagine his delight in discovering the "Kinetics!" area. Despite there being what seems like a ton of balls, a bunch of unruly older children have managed to hoard them to where even adults can't wrangle one measly ball for their kid to hold. Once my poor son managed to acquire one, he ran off to a quiet corner & refused to let me show him how the exhibit worked with the tubes, etc. because he was too concerned about the ball being taken from him. Well, he was right to be concerned as these selfish older children came over & tried to take the ball from him despite them hoarding the entire room's balls insisting that they need that one too. My husband's head nearly exploded. The Bloom room is really the only safe haven for any kid let alone the young ones but my son will age out soon and then what? He's 99 percentile so even though he's one, he's already the size of a four year old but he still gets run over in rooms that are supposed to be for "all ages." Once my son ages out of the Bloom room there really is no incentive for us to come back here as the experience is way too violent, overstimulating, & a bully's playground. Similar instances happened in the Bubble room & the Market as well with different gangs of field trippers. We came on what felt like a very average day crowd wise (Thurs 9-11:30AM) so I can't imagine how awful it would be on a busier day. Really a shame that poorly parented/chaperoned kids have to ruin the experience of so many other children as I've seen multiple other reviews complain about the same thing. I should have take them more seriously.

Since there was a line, we skipped that. We were already dressed and made up as zombies which makes it smoother and quicker to walk around. We found parking on a side street. Many people really got into the zombie spirit with elaborate costumes. There was a costume contest for individuals and for groups (the group winner was 2 ladies dressed up as deer heads hanging over the fireplace). Music from a DJ was playing and some people danced while others observed and walked (crawled) around. Many people had children with them. There were restaurants open to get a bite to eat or drink. It wasn't super organized as I expected but it was a fun experience and I would recommend at least going once!

I gave myself lots of time. It was super hot in the sun - bring a hat with a big visor!! At this time of year this year the corn was all pretty dried out - very fall feeling. I went on a weekend day - a Saturday - so yah there were plenty of families and such. I just randomly wandered the corn maze running into the occasional child or parent but or teen group, but I found it very nice to just wander until I got out! It took about an hour. No stress and it actually felt positive that there were lots of other people in the maze at the same time. Less scary. They had a mini corn maze and a "crazy" corn maze so I chose the crazy one since I was trying to be brave. If you feel less brave, try the mini one! Next year I might try their night time corn maze! I love how they curated the pumpkin area! Pumpkins galore everywhere and organized by their gorgeous colors. So pretty and seriously so many like WOW! It was visually really nice. Lots of great creative photo op areas were nicely set up. Lots of kid activities of course. If you're a lone adult like me you're probably gonna do - corn maze, food truck, shopping. I like that they partnered with Palomar Farms to have some farmers market goodies. I did seem some unique jarred delights. I walked away with FROG jam and rhubarb jam! Next year I will try to go earlier in the season when the corn maze is maybe still a little bit green to see what that's like. I liked their modern branding and curated vibe. The corn maze staff was also super friendly and understood my anxiety. I also loved that the activities were a la carte. I paid for the corn maze which was under $20 and my jarred market delights which were $8.99 each. Parking was free. Okay I'm stating that cause I'm from LA. It's still a relief when parking is free here!
