I visited this attraction on a weekend and had a blast! Very unassuming from the front. It was great frightening moments and the scenes were staged well. The animatronics played an important role and also the audio. I got startled now and then. Amazing Halloween Night!

One of my favourite haunts to go to. There are 2 terrifying attractions one was the washroom where you are given one flashlight per group. It’s really a haunting experience. We all were grabbing the hands of the one who has the light because if she runs away, we all are done and have to navigate in dark that’s so scary even to think. The second one was the amnesia ward where only psychos and lunatics were seen. Both were unique experience thanks for the team for such wonderful creativity.

I will definitely give 5 stars for this place. Scares were intense and actors super energetic. It was like a live horror experience and survived. Wished it could be a little longer. Will definitely come again.

There were two attractions and we had a great time exploring the two. The houses were decorated with attention to all details. They had the scares planned meticulously. The scenes were excellent and had a story. Both the houses had different themes. It was unique. Actors their acts played their part with brilliance. Good use of props added richness to the scenes. We were holding hands else we could get lost the mayhem and darkness. The actors were never tired till the end. Had a fun filled evening with family and friends.

I don’t know why people gives one star for this place. To be honest, we loved it. Of course, it’s not possible to scare everyone who visits but they really tried their best to scare each and every soul that entered and its clearly visible. Some people only like extreme scares but for some just a startle is enough to enjoy. Some likes to be chased but some on seeing itself gets terrified. So we cannot judge an attraction with negative reviews. In this case ignore the negatives and enjoy yourself you will love it.

It was fun and fear overloaded at this place!! We visited during the last week with the entire family. A lot of changes from the previous year. It was reasonably priced for the general admission category. There were two haunt houses and both were scary in its unique way. They had a unique theme and the actors complemented it so well. Visuals were great and sound effect was alarming. Definitely recommend, will pay a visit again.

Amazing fun with just the perfect amount of "scare!" Props were scary and with great precision. You may never be able to make out if it wasn’t real. The animatronics was a treat.

You want to get a good scare and also have fun during the Halloween. Then, surely visit this place. You are in for a surprise. The scares were decent and we got to enjoy them first hand. Though it was crowded and they were long lines, the staff sent in small teams in a staggered manner. The house was beautiful yet evoked fear. They had the best use of props. Went there with friends and we came out feeling scared.
