If I hadn't got directions from the web page I would have got lost. However as we reached the road it was on there was a large lighted arrow pointing the way.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
I think the bonfire was awesome. They also had soda and candy for sale that was priced really cheap. My favrote part was the guy dancing by outside of the house. I was alos surprised it only took about a half-hour to get in the house.
Most Unique
I liked the kitchen room the best it was really cool and i got scared the most in that room. The actors in that room were scary!
Actors' Performance
Not very good. Some were even making convestaion with the visitors.

Signage / Visibility / Location
Super easy to find. Right off of 84th and Greenfield Ave.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Tent with DJ, tables and chairs. a couple of really cool costumed actors. If there check out the port-a-potty.
Most Unique
I was really surprised how different the two felt and looked. The inside was almost bright and bouncy but in that clowns-eating-your-face way. Yet dark and creepy too. Oh, be careful of the whole in the floor. The Pirate Cove looked so dark and creepy. I liked the story line, my group felt like we were part of things. It was fun to be part of the hanging.
Actors' Performance
There was nowhere SAFE! At lest that is what I felt like. I started off in the middle, I tried the back and wasn't even safe in the front! Reading the other reviews I don't know if they got more actors or they just got better, but I felt like they were everywhere. The actors did a great job. I enjoyed interacting with all of the pirates, very entertaining. Awesome job!!!
Appropriate For
inside 13+ outside 12+
Summary
Nice job! I will be there next year. Appropriate for ages: outside some other reviews wrote ages 10+ but there was some really gross (but good) scenes one of the girls in my group started gagging.
On the way out we got asked which one was better... I would say Go and See Them Both!

Signage / Visibility / Location
It was pretty easy to find. Far enough out to make it spooky.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
To get to the house, you have to take a walk in the woods. This was definately the best part of the night. Dark and scarey! It was about an hour wait, not bad. A HUGE bonfire kept everybody warm. They had a large screen for viewing different things, but It was pretty borning... they didn't really show anything of interest. They could have used more than one actor that walked around every once and awhile scaring people waiting. I like the idea of calling up the groups over an intercom, but it was very hard to hear over the blaring music.
Most Unique
The trail in the woods, and the ending. Both were AWESOME!
Actors' Performance
Not bad, but in many rooms it seems they were always several seconds off. We would be on our way out of the room when someone would jump out when we were well past them.
Appropriate For
10 and up
Summary
The house itself is great. Just the way they should be... dark and spooky. It was a refreshing change from the current trend of houses becoming neon techno clubs.

Signage / Visibility / Location
It was EXTREMELY hard to find. The directions provided to Haunted Wisconsin are only good if you are in Denmark, which didn't help me as I was coming from Green Bay. So I clicked on "View map", and then received directions from there. This lead us to the middle of no-where, as the wrong address was entered into Map-quest either by Haunted Wisconsin or the designers of the MM. We were basically lost for a half hour. Then we finally found a gas station, which gave us vauge directions at best. It was a bad way to start the night...
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There was NO ONE there. Nobody! Talk about creepy. Apparantly there was a high school football game going on. The entertainment was non-existant, and we had to wait about 20 minutes for the actors to get into costume, etc.
Most Unique
Having to lay down in a casket, it was the only part of the house that I thought was cool.
Actors' Performance
Although they were nice people, this was low budget and poorly acted house. There was maybe one or two scares, but 99% of the actors were too friendly.
Appropriate For
8 and up
Summary
They did spend some time on this event, but it simply was low budget and not very creative. Also be aware, it's held in a barn where there is hay and live animals. I have allergies, and I was itchy eyes and skin when I was done.

Signage / Visibility / Location
There is a lighted sign on 27th Street and the school is right next to Walgreens and Walmart. Easy to see.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
You can either wait inside or outside. Most groups were outside but there was space in the school building where the tickets were purchased for waiting.
Most Unique
There was a vortex which is really cool. The maze was scarey and the basement was creepy.
Actors' Performance
There was a mix of adults and children doing the haunting. There was an element of surprise at different stages of the haunted house.
Appropriate For
any age but parents know their children better than any one. Some small children were scared when I was there.
Summary
You have to check it out for yourself. I think you will be surprised at the ingenuity.

Great Pumpkin stands besides sign, you can't miss it. Large black Cat you walk under to enter Haunted House, Large sign outside of building telling us where to buy tickets.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There was concessions to hold us over while we were waiting to enter into haunted house but the wait was not long, just enough time to enjoy your snack.
Most Unique
The way the Tour was put together and the story line made you have to think as you went through, the maze and its end was awesome!!!
Actors' Performance
WOW!!! Very thoughtout, I felt like I was in a play. All actors including children did very very well. Guides made you feel like you were actually going on a real tour.
Appropriate For
Depends on Childs fears, but great for adults.
Summary
I would definately do it again.

Watch for the blinky sign on the corner or you might miss it.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
They had a guy in a chicken suit running around with what looked like a imitation of leather face chasing him with an axe. Leather face caught up with him and it looked like he was hitting him with the axe. You could tell it was fake but it was funny. Then two jesters came out from the front door and picked up the chicken to carry him into the house.
Most Unique
The 3-D glasses and 3-D rooms were really neat. It made it hard to find your way sometimes I would tell you about it but the rules of the posting clearly state I cant tell you.
Actors' Performance
Ok they seemed to be into it I got one startle out of an actor that I snuck up on. The giant guy in the room with all the doors was the most memorable.
Appropriate For
12 & up
Summary
The 3-D really is neat. You could have some more scare but the 3-D makes it worth the visit.

Signage / Visibility / Location
Easy to find if you know the address. Signage was just o.k. Parking was a pain and then walking around to find the end of the line.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Some weird chick was walking around, I was impressed with her.
Most Unique
Shaking floor was neat but I already had been to one on South 27th street that had a shaking floor and a spinning room so it wasn't that unique.
Actors' Performance
Costumes were good but hallways were dark and they pop out at you but not as scary as I thought it would be at that price.
Appropriate For
12 and up
Summary
Could have been better for the price.

Easy to find if you are looking for the railroad museum
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There was a lot of waiting. I waited in the ticket line which wasn't bad, then I waited in the train line, which wasn't bad, then I got to wait in the haunted house line which took for ever. The screens and videos were neat. The outside actors seemed bored and lingered on the little girls.
Most Unique
the fire room was a neat.
Actors' Performance
The gouls were ok for kids. I got to scare a couple of them myself. The best is when you catch one off guard talking to another goul. It was weak they need some training or maybe a pay raise.

Large neon sign in front of Haunted House on South 27th Street. Large blow up pumpkin by sign also draws your attention.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
You go inside to get your tickets and you can wait there if it is raining and they will take you in the order that you came in. They had glow sticks and snacks for sale.
Most Unique
There was a vortex that you walk through. Never done that before, it was awesome. Several rooms with unique activities in each.
Actors' Performance
Guides took us through most of it and they were part of the act. Very cool.

younger kids need an adult.

Would comment on more but don't want to give anything away. Must see!

Signage / Visibility / Location
Wonderful, even though i am not a resident of the place i found it quite easily, the big orange banner, and the Van with A Theater Of Lost Souls was easy enough to spot, the location itself is creepy, and did i mention great parking!?
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
OK, couldve been darker, but than again you dont want it to dark, you might trip over the ropes in the lobby, but it was nice to have an indoor waiting room.
Most Unique
THE MOST UNIQUE was well i think the whole thing, i mean your in a historic Haunted and Recorded building, what more could you want? and i think the actual actors had some unique talents.
Actors' Performance
B-ish, some were great, some didnt do so well, i really dont want to point fingers at the actors because I know its the second year and good talent is hard to come by, especially in Wisconsin, but i will say the Clown, the Bone Zombie with the top hat, The Kitchen man, the Little Girl 'Alice' was her name i think, and the monster closet know what they are doing, and perfomed flawlessly. But for those who didnt do so well, I suggest work with the haunt runner about what you do, just running up to someone with knives and screaming wont work, talk to paid customers.
Appropriate For
15+
Summary
Wow for comments, I suggest moving some people around, tweek the roles, you might find someone better suited for the position. I know if you can spread out the actors with great talent, you'll off balanced the ones who dont understand what they are doing, I know its easy to get confused when there is a group of arrogent people walking through and all they do is be sarcastic, those things happen. But you need to be mean back, or just dont deal with them at all, have them get out as fast as possible, another thing! Spread the Scare throughout the group, dont just concentrate on one person. you never know the big muscle man may be on the brink of wetting himself, :D but besides those comments, i really have to say, i will attend this haunt again within the upcoming week. Good Job Guys for a second yearer. I loved it!
