We had a great time doing the Quarantined scape room. Super fun and challenging.

Great time with friends. The zombie in the room made it a great experience and total worth it.

The rooms are awesome. Outbreak (or whatever the one with the zombie is called) is very intense and not for the faint of heart. Not going to give anything away but the zombie is distracting. Contamination (or whatever the one with the body is called) is more of a typical style escape room. All in all both are great rooms and very entertaining.however if you have younger members of you group i dont recommend the zombie room.

Very good haunted house! I loved the actors, sets and scenes! Props were also amazing! They only thing I didn't like was how short it was and some long dark hallways. But amazing job on the Christmas haunt!

The haunted house was pretty good. Props to all of the actors that have to be in character for so long every day!!! The ed clown house was super cool too. A very unique experience compared to most. My only griefs were the wait to get in, and the online charges.

I will say that we made the mistake of going at primte time the Saturday before Halloween. That's said, we still waited 4 hours!!!! The wait made the experience very underwhelming.

We also bought tickets online, and were charged like a $2 convenience fee.. When We arrived, we saw that the tickets were the same price as online, but no convenience fee. We literally paid more because we were proactive!

Big piece of advice: go on off-peak times, and check to see how much tickets are at the gate. If you insist on going during prime time - BUY VIP!! you will wait 20 minutes instead of 4 hours. I would venture to guess that 3.5 hours of your Saturday night is worth $20

4 hour wait you have no idea how long it is either. By the time you get half way you feel like you may as well stay. Definitely decreased my excitement over all. Then they tried to send bigger groups and it got backed up and the actors couldn't do much to reset. I feel like it would be much better on a week day.

The actors had good costumes and make up. The room sets were well done. However it didnt scare me enough to make it worth the 2+ hour wait in line. Our group came on a Fri, waited in line for 90 min, and then realized we hadn't even hit the half way point in the line. We ended up bailing and coming back on Sat as soon as it opened. We still had to wait another 30 min.

Would have been five stars if it hadn't been for a THREE HOUR LINE. You buy your tickets in an area away from the line, so you don't have any idea what you're getting into until you've already paid. Then once you get there and realize how long it is, you have to either pony up an extra $20 to go in the VIP line (which was about 30 minutes), eat what you've paid for admission, or stand outside in line for 3+ hours. There was music and performers for people waiting, but by the time my friends and I got to the actual haunted house, I was just tired and ready to go home. For that sort of wait, I better get murdered. It's a shame, because you can tell the actors and designers put a lot of work into it.

This haunted house was truly fantastic! The actors did a great job of scaring without being in our faces, each scene was set very well and details were incredible. Also, my hubby and I have been to a great number of haunted houses over the years, but this one still surprised us and made us say "Wow!"
I won't tell any more because the surprises are what make this haunted house so entertaining. I highly recommend it!

The haunted house was very well done. It definitely had some unique elements. They had a second small 3D haunted house which was cool, and full of clowns. I actually didn't scream or jump in either haunted house but I think that's because I'm a bit older (30) than the target crowd. I went this past Saturday I think the fun dancing actors in line and the overuse of the chainsaw while in line probably took some of the scare away too. It served to remind me that the characters inside the haunted house really were just actors.

But I'd say the haunted house was really good and I'd definitely recommend it.

Such a professional house. I love having nice attractions like this right in downtown Aurora. It's awesome.

My favorite haunted house!! First of all, the waiting in line outside is like a dance party since there's a DJ blasting music by the entrance. There are awesome monsters walking around keeping the crowd entertain, including the pumpkin head guy on stilts. The people that work here are really nice and will pause for a photo op. There's no camera allowed inside, but you can take all the pictures outside that you want.

So for the general admission price, you get entrance to both the Basement of the Dead and the Shattered Haunted Houses. The latter is a 3D black light clown house nightmare that is pretty trippy. Both of the houses has the bridge that you have to cross while the tunnel spins causing you to lose your balance. It's one of my favorite things about this place. The rotating room in the main house is pretty awesome. Most of the rooms are dark and there are tons of pressure triggered air puff spots that gets me every time. The ghouls do a pretty good job at coming out of the darkness to breath down your neck or startle you as you make your way through. A lot of times I have trouble telling the props apart from real people.

A unique experience next to none! This is one haunt you don't want to miss out on. The staff is completely involved, from the outside, inside, and throughout. Every year it's keeps getting bigger and better. If you haven't been through the 3 D haunt, it is an awesome concept. It is worth visiting for that experience alone. Great jobs guys keep up the hard wirk

This was the 3rd haunted house I went to this season. By far the best one I have been to in years. 2 haunted houses for the price of one. Guys with the chainsaws were phenomenal. Actors inside were A++. Line looked long but moved rapidly. Staff is great. Free giveaways while you are in line. Best bang for your buck. Definitively the best place to be this time of year.

The actors walk aroundscare and take pictures with anyone brave enough to ask! You want a night to remember and a reason to laugh at your friends foreverthis is a place to be! Pay attention to your friends as they walk across the spinning bridge! It's absolutely hilarious! Can't wait to go again!
