Mars Haunted House is a good haunt in the Milwaukee area. The makeup and the actors outside were incredible! It's a little shorter than some haunts, but some of the rooms were really quite interesting and worth the visit.

Plenty of Parking in lot or around haunt, haunt was very easy to get to, we had no problem finding it. They had monsters tormenting people in line while you waited. We got there at 6:45, and were quick to get in once 7 PM hit. I was w/ 2 other people, and we were able to go in as our own group. The rooms were very detailed, although it was pretty dark at times so you couldn't really see all the detail. About 3 of the rooms we went in there were no actors in, so that was a little disappointing. I'm not sure if this was because we went on a Sunday and they were short or what. The actors all stayed in character very well. We never ran into anyother groups while we were in the house.
It is definately a good haunt to go to, I've been going to this haunt the past 3 years and it's never been very disappointing.

If you're looking to totally immerse yourself into a nightmarishly good time, look no further. This year's Mars Haunted House once again offers an immersive experience that will excite your senses. Sets and passage ways are elaborately decorated with a keen attention to detail to provide ample visual stimulation. Encounters with ghouls seeking not only to scare the bajeezus out of you but also to creep you out make for both a bloodcurdling and chilling experience.
Traditionally I have declared this attraction to be Milwaukee's Scariest haunt. This year's edition of the Mars Haunted House once again makes a good case to continue as the area's top attraction. If you've enjoyed Mars in the past or if your just looking for a good scare or two you certainly won't be disappointed this year.
If you're into evaluating haunts with your senses you might find this helpful:
* Sight: Elaborate sets with great attention to detail. Lighting and
special effects were frequently used to surprise me even though I was expecting
it.
*Sound: Superb! The sound experience allowed me to become totally
immersed in many of the rooms….especially immediately upon entering this haunt!
* Smell: Ever wonder what death smells like? …you’ll know the answer by the time you
depart this haunt.
* Touch: Feel the splatter of
blood or a reaper breathing down your neck!
The performance of the characters outside was exceptional! Inside the haunt the actors’
focused more on scaring the bejeezus out of you than entertaining you.
Definitely worth checking out! With the total immersion and interaction with the actors and
sound in each room it's very easy to miss some of the attention to detail found in each room.... there are plenty of outstanding effects to keep you visually entertained when you’re not jumping out of your skin. As was the case last year…at the risk of giving away one of the best effects found at this haunt the ”Laser Vortex” is definitely worth checking out.
About 10-12 minutes
Waiting line is clearly roped off and patrolled frequently by ghouls.
In addition to stimulating your sense of sight, sound and feel the Mar’s Haunt this year also excites your sense of smell. The smell of death was quite prevalent through many of the rooms I visited. The stench was so strong it seemed to linger in my nostrils well after my departure.

I would say that Mars Haunted House has done a really good job this year again. Keeping things fresh, it was nice to see some new added sets and props from previous years as well as new actors and characters. It is also nice to see some from previous years make a return as well. I feel Mars Haunted House's has some of the best actors working the waiting area. They are always done up in the BEST costumes and do a great job at keeping you entertained and they add a lot to the fun! Inside you will find very detailed sets and good props as well as edger actors ready to frighten you! I would say this haunt is best for teens and adults, but they do have a day where you can take kids and the scare factor is not as high as on a common night. I would say this is a haunted house worth checking out if you haven't already and since I have been going for 8 or 9 years, it is obviously one I feel is worth revisiting as well!

Mars has done it again! they have definatly stepped up this year and although alot of the rooms havent changed that much from last year they still managed to make it different. All the actors did an amazing job inside and out. In that I have a few actors I would like to point out and compliment that really got me. The girl in the cage....Outstanding! she did her acting to a T and made me believe I was in a Saw movie.. The guy in the poop room as disturbing as it is to see poop on the walls and ceiling and have it smell like poop for the man sitting in that room I give him props. He made me laugh til I had tears in my eyes... The Zombie by the curtain and bookshelf room that trapped us in the dining area was the trippiest thing ive seen with the twisting and twitching and being caught between that and the dog thing in the fireplace my group didnt know what to do and that Woman that bangs on the wall and pops out from behind it from utter blackness made me jump. I was not expecting that caught already between 2 actors. amazing job.... and lastly the giant guy at the end was awesome! never lost his energy and scared you all through that room
All in All it was a good haunt and definatly worth the money spent. I would Definatly go again. the only downside I could think of was the group in front of us ruining the scares. I guess it was just because they didnt want to show everyone else that they were really scared but then again you get those with every haunt. and to the actors that didnt get mentioned dont think it was because you didnt scare me or because you were not good enough to be mentioned. you all were great though I believe some could do more but those few really stuck out for me. Mars keep up the awesome work and TY for making me jump and be scared out of my mind

Mars was a great haunted house-they had all different kinds of scares and you never knew which way or where the next one was going to come from next. Just beware of the floor it ramps up and down harshly and sometimes without waring, and you may mistep and fall. Thea actors were great and took their roles seriously. The props were also not cheap either. It was a long haunt-took about 15-20 min to walk through. You definately get what you pay for and there are coupons at Halloween Express.
