An excellent haunt well worth the $10. Get there early and plan to wait a bit. They do a great job of spacing out all the groups, but that also means more time waiting to get in. Plan for the weather. Dress appropriately and keep in mind there could be muddy spots, VERY uneven ground. The best part is that the actors WILL touch you!
We were led by a tourguide who did a great job of pacing the group at a nice slow tempo, especially in just the right areas.
We started in a haybale maze which is covered with tarps. Inside the maze are numerous dead ends, signs that misdirect, and lights that work intermittently. The actors inside terrorized the group and led us astray. It took a surprisingly long time to escape. What a great way to kick off the fun!
The trail is lit just enough with torches to see ahead, but still dark enough to enhance the loneliness of the woods. This is the first haunt I've been to where no other groups were seen or heard at all.
In the woods we passed various scenes with actors coming from everywhere. You can look around and still not see them coming up, down and all around.
The scares don't rely on too much acting, mostly just startling and terrorizing which in my opinion is more exciting. The actors did break character once, but otherwise were great.
The actors will touch you, bump you, and try to break through the group to single out the most frightened victims. The tour guide did a great job of keeping everyone together.
Overall we spent around 2 hours there from when we bought the ticket until we left for home. It is a terrific value for $10.
