Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

If your not from this area, directions are helpful ... if you look to the left you can clearly see their sign lit up:)

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There was a grim reaper standing out front of the ticket booth where they sold a few "goodies".

Length

There was no wait time and parking wasn't as bad as I have read in some other reviews??? Kind of pricey to do all attractions ... $20/person to do all three events. We chose not to do the corn maze as it was really muddy because it had rained earlier. The barn was about 20 minutes and you have other groups constantly running into each other ... then the hay ride was another 20 minutes.

Actors' Performance

Overall this attraction is not good for those looking to be "scared silly" ... it is good for those just looking for a fun place to chill and be entertained. I personally enjoy any type of hayride ... even though this one wasn't frightning at all ... it was a nice night for a ride.

Summary

I really feel that you will get from this haunt what you make of it, so just go and have a good time ... and ultimately you will have a good time.

Mars Haunted House

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

It is on a pretty busy street and can be easily missed ... they do have a sign out front, but it is among a lot of other store front buildings. Parking WILL be a pain on busy nights!

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There was no entertainment, except for watching drunk people honk their horns up and down the street!

Length

No one really in the halloween mood yet, took us about 10 minutes to get in. Took about 10 minutes to go through the whole haunted house at a very slow rate.

Actors' Performance

There really weren't many actors, and then weren't very scary. There probably was about 3 "surprise" scares.

Summary

Lots of dark passage ways to go through, our lead kept walking into walls. I think the best thing about this haunted house is the location, its right in Milwaukee so those of us from the area that are in the mood for a little enterntainment and don't want to drive so far ... Mars is a good option.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

It is located in a small town called St. Nazianz, about 10 miles off of Hwy 43 ... there weren't any lights out front of the enterance so we drove right past it at first!

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

We only waited 10 min., we were there early because we hoped to beat the "rush". However, there was some concessions.

Length

40 - 45 min.

Actors' Performance

Performance was excellent, we were there for opening night. The actors never left character, and there were even young children acting out.

Appropriate For

Anyone without a heart condition! Oh, and they should be at least 14.

Summary

I could not believe how scary this haunted house was. The house was actually in an old nunnary ... which is famous for its REAL hauntings! It was frightning before we even went in. Plus they let our group go seperately, with no one else which made it more enjoyable. The graphics, among so many different "surprises" were amazing. Walking in the dark down a large hallway in an old nunnary is frightening enough without the added scares! I don't know if others experiences will be different, but the monsters do get a little "touchy feely" ... I had a chainsaw all over me ... I was scared! It is slightly out of the way, but worth the drive!

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Very difficult to get too! There is major construction so we went up and down broadway 4 times before we finally asked for directions ... then they told us that we had to go beyond the signs that said "NO THROUGH TRAFFIC" ... once we figured that out, it was no problem.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There are concessions as well as a gift shop!

Length

10 - 15 min, not including train ride.

Actors' Performance

The actors were all highschool volunteers, and I believe it was there first night ... so a little practice might have been helpful!

Appropriate For

10+

Summary

The train ride definitely makes this haunted house unique! Compared to previous years, the special effects and props were great! They were not scary, but very well put together.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Located right in Hartford, there was construction, but nothing too impossible to get around!

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

They had games, concessions, and a coffin and herse display! There was also a warmer area to sit and wait. We waited about 1 hour and 15 min.

Length

It was about 40 minutes, however, you were held up a lot in certain rooms so they could prepare before you entered the next room.

Actors' Performance

The actors were pretty good, I screamed a lot! Everyone stayed in character, except for one skeleton that decided to dance.

Appropriate For

12+

Summary

Was a lot of fun, didn't enjoy the amount of dark hallways you needed to walk through. Also we were forced to go with another group that was pretty rude to the actors and really destroyed the experience! I don't know if it's the cool thing to do, but all the "wise cracks" get pretty annoying.
