The hayride was an awful combination of a girl shouting through a microphone and poor actingnot a great start. BUT, the rest of it was superb! It got better with each stage, the details were elaborate and the actors were committed to their roles. The little donut shop was cute, the cider was quite good, and overall it was a great experience after the hay ride. Worth the money. 2 hours roughly from start to finish. Go late so the lines dwindle down, we had 10pm start time and it was okay.
We used to go every year but stopped 4 years ago because it became boring. Same story line. So this year we decided to try again. NOT WORTH THE MONEY !!! They rush you through the houses so the actors don't have time to "reset". They only seem interested in the props instead of the scare. When we go to haunted houses we want the heart pounding excitement of not knowing what's going to happen next. You will not get this here. If you do decide to go upgrade to the scream pass, it will save you time of not standing in the long lines.
The Headless Horseman experience is very memorable for me. I have been there 4 times now and it’s still about the same. Mediocre on the scare factor. The hayride is the best part. The little “village” is great also. The wait is incredibly long no matter when you go but I recommend the earliest time slot on the day you choose. The lack of bathrooms is the most annoying part of this place and it used to be annoying to get your whole body pat down at the entrance but thankfully they don’t do that anymore. Overall it’s a fun time.
I went to the Headless Horseman Hayride last year and it was GREAT!!! But for some reason when I went last night, everything seemed a bit off. I couldn't put my finger on it. It was a lot less actors in the haunted houses and in the corn field. Some of the actors weren't even scary but maybe and hopefully it was just last night. Overall I'm not complaining, I'm just use to it being amazing.
Awesome experience, but they have to find a way to deal with the volume of attendees. The wait can be hours long. Not just to enter the grounds but for each attraction as well. Plan ahead, be aware of the weather conditions. The larger the group, the more fun you'll have, in my opinion. But ultimately they spare no expense in providing an incredible Halloween experience.
The costumes were great, an the story line was good as well. The gift shops were well stocked and the people were very helpful, from taken pictures to helping find stuff. Well worth the trip and money. This is the second year I have gone and will go next year as well.
Definitely worth the trip from where ever you live, the scenes are awesome, the set design is great, the characters really come to life and the whole atmosphere puts you right into a spooky time, keep looking over your should you never know whats behind you
The haunted houses and cast members are fantastic. I've been going with friends for a couple years now. It's well organized and super fun. Even if you're not the type to be scared this will creep you out. One way or another Headless Horseman will get you!
Frosty Fest was really great!!! The ticket prices were reasonable and the total experience was a blast for the whole family. Thank you to the staff of Headless Horseman!!
Great experience. Drove all the way here from NYC. If you're doing the same, I'd suggest carving out some time to stop at Woodbury Commons outlet mall which is on the way up.
But back to the park, the Hay Ride was pretty weak. BUT the haunted houses were great. Especially the one with the cornfields. Amazing. Very much worth it to get the VIP option or whatever it's called that gets you to the front of the line, otherwise you have to deal with a long line in the cold for each activity.
This is seriously one of the most amazing haunted experiences you can ever have. Incredible attention to detail, awesome sets and houses, and an outstanding staff of actors. You really do get a LOT for your money here.
