Review

Years ago I reviewed Zombus, and loved every minute of it. I wanted to review them again to see what has changed and to see if they are as good as they were previously? As before, there are many different things to experience at Zombus, so much so that the title is really deceiving and doesn’t shed light on all the great things here. Besides the bus ride where you get to shoot zombies, there’s the Haunted House Trail, the Haunted Laser Tag, and a cool Zombie Carnival under a tent! There are different price point depending on what you want to do. The best value is getting all three big events for $24! The weather was not playing nice and was misting throughout the opening night, so attendance was light. But trust me, this is one haunt you do NOT want to miss!

Haunted House Trail: Your walk starts at a creepy looking house that is stacked with great visuals and scares in each room. My favorite was the kitchen! Your time in the house is short lived, and you’ll breathe a sigh of relief when you’re out in the night air. But then you realize that even more things are lurking in the woods just waiting to meet you… and you long for the creepy house again! In the woods there are moments of bright light in some areas and complete darkness in others. This haunted walk really does have everything: a huge snake, swamp people, a huge walk-in freezer, creatures up high and down low, inside a house and outside in the dark woods, uneven footing, an awesome rope bridge, and probably a few things that my mind has blocked out! Although the Zombus is the ‘headliner’, I enjoyed this walk more than anything so far this season!!! Length – 20 minutes

Haunted Laser Tag: As in previous years, they have a nice laser tag area that contains different forts and obstacles. Nothing really has changed here from previous years, but it’s a fun thing to do between the other events. Length - 15 minutes

Zombus: The Zombus is really what they promote, and it’s always a fun time. You jump on a bus and drive around shooting at zombies. For the most part, this is as it was in previous years, maybe 90% the same. But it’s unlike any other haunted experience in the area and if you’ve never done it, put it on your bucket list! Length - 20 minutes

Zombie Carnival: Something new this year is the carnival! There are several carnival games there with a zombie theme that are a lot of fun. You can purchase tickets to play the different games: Feed The Gargoyles, Zombie Brain Smash, Attacking Zombie Ring Toss, and Angry Raven! Depending on how well you play, you can trade up for different prizes!

And if that’s not your speed, then go crawl up on the bull and see how long you can stay on! There’s also a nice bonfire and waiting area. This haunt again has everything and there really is something for everyone here. This is only about 10 minutes north from Green Bay so don’t miss it!

Signage / Visibility / Location


Very easy to find! Right off Hwy 41, on an access road 10 miles north of Green Bay. You can't miss it.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment


When I attended, there were not very many people attending so there was very little wait time. But the wait areas are great with games, a bonfire, snacks, etc..

Actors' Performance


The actors did great in both the Haunted House Trail and the Zombus.

Sets Scenes / Props / FX


This is one area where they really took things to the next level. They have achieved the perfect combination of live actors and animatronics to maximum effect! And the level of detail is amazing!

Length


See above summery for length of each separate event. You can easily spend all night here!

Crowd Control


There was no crowd when I attended due to the weather, but it looks like they have plenty of space to handle large groups. When I attended years ago it was over an hour wait, and they handled the crowds fine!

Most Memorable Moment


A highlight for me was on the Haunted House Trail. There was what I can only call 'the swamp’. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anything like it! It’s not water, but it sure does look like it!

Summary

Kudos to the staff and creators, the whole experience is amazing! My only criticism is to start promoting the other aspects of all your work! The Zombus is great and very unique for the area, but your other creations are just as great! If you have not attended this haunt yet, what's your excuse? This should be at the top of your 'must attend' attractions!
