Just tried this haunt for the first time this year and it's my new favorite!! Not only is this the…read morescariest one I've been too but there's more to do than just the maze. First of all, they have food trucks and booths, and they also have a magician to keep you entertained while you wait. They have incredible props and also have characters all over while you wait and explore too-very good about sneaking up on you and giving you a pre-maze Jumpscare! The makeup costumes and props aren't cheap and the maze took like 25 minutes to get through. It's not even just Jumpscare in there-it's sort of an obstacle course. Definitely don't go if you're claustrophobic or have epilepsy. There's moments where actors strobed the brightest flashlights I've ever seen in my life to the point where you can't see where you're going, and at the beginning there was a section that is pitch black and you're literally squeezing through some sort of blowup material and have to feel your way through. Would definitely recommend!!

Red Vein was a lot of fun, and this was a great first time experience!…read more While I have done a number of the haunts local to the Richmond area, this was my first time at Red Vein. I had heard it was one of the better ones and they certainly delivered. A bit under $25 gets you a bit over an hour's scare-ntertainment, which is a lot per hour but it's a jam-packed hour so it works. When you arrive, there are employees directly traffic to parking, which are unmarked grass spaces. Front workers were nice and a handful of scarers were walking around to psyche folks up for the experience. You end up waiting in a few lines here and there: ticket purchase, front gate, and then a line for each of the four experiences, all tied together with a sort of loose cult/corporate storyline. Each one is a lot of fun and there are plenty of clever layouts and props to keep you guessing about where the next scare will come from. One of the toughest things to do at these places is pace lines, since if folks get squished together the scarers can't reset effectively. Unfortunately we happened to be behind the slowest group known to man and in front of a group of scared teens who could not wait to be done with the whole thing. This took away from the experience a bit but I chock it up to bad luck rather than Red Vein. Ultimately this turned out to be an awesome place to commemorate spooky season and I would absolutely do it again next year! Overall: 4.5 stars ---- Pros: - Great staff, both the front workers and the scare crew. - Fun experience with a lot of variety and creativity. - Great logical flow to the setup to try to pace things better. - Lots of parking. Cons: - Sometimes bad luck in group placement will hinder your experience, and while that happened to us, hopefully it won't to you. - Price isn't terrible but it is a lot for a brief experience. - Making a more permanent parking setup (or at least spraying some lines in the grass) would go a long way to making entrance and exit better.

I would say the most crowded is between 6-8pm. I admire the residents very much for making such effort and creativity every year to wow and welcome visitors, while giving away tons and tons of candies. Nothing better than seeing everyone's reactions. It's hard to tell how the event is organized as there isn't official information online. There is a street closure around Meadow on Hanover but only for a few blocks while the crowd started taking over the streets from Robinson. It causes the traffic around the area very congested every year. People start to get impatient and irritated which is not what we want to see in our neighborhood.
