Grim Trails Haunted Attraction — Local services in Louisville

I went Friday night and left very very disappointed.When we first got there the owner got very rude and disrespectful with my family because one of us had a mask on while taking one picture with our phone.He literally threatened to call the cops on us for wearing a mask.The owner(guy in the "yoda" looking mask) said he could not have someone wearing a mask for safety reasons,which is understandable but the way he handled it was very rude.So we went ahead and went in to pay. I told the lady taking the money we had an encounter with "yoda" and he is very rude, after the owner was rude with her ; she looked at me and said well he's the owner so idk what to tell ya(that's how i found out who he was) Anyways so we went in the trail. It was NOT scary at all! I was very disappointed and I get scared easy. They told us to go in every building and keep walking the whole time dont stop. Well one building we entered was pitch black and an actor was hiding in there. the actor would not move out of our way.The first in line with my group just kept walking and the actor got mad! he said you're not going to touch the other actors are you ? and literally stood nose to nose with my cousin for a good minute and then finally moved. I literally felt like the worker was about to fight my cousin! Then a few buildings up another actor was standing nose to nose with me and when i tried to go around he would not move!He kept moving the direction i did with his toes pointed towards my toes. My boyfriend was getting so mad. That is NOT cool at all and certainly not scary. Lastly we went in the building where the tall , tan colored , hairy actor was standing in the door way.His head was as tall as the door way.He had a wooden pole he kept beating on the ground and every time we went to go around he would stand in our way. ONe person (we didn't even know that happened to catch up with us because we had been stuck in this building a while) told him she had to pee and he still wouldn't move. What kind of circus is this place is what i was thinking. After standing for about ten minutes in a crowded room with strangers another worker whispered to the tall hairy actor and said let them through. so he FINALLY let us through. This was a horrible experience and was not scary at all. I left straight from there to Haunted Hotel and actually was scared and the actors can touch you and even though they can touch you at Haunted Hotel they remained respectful .Save yourself a trip and the $20 to get in and go...

My wife and I visited on October 17, 2020.

A couple of hints to make your trip better. First, If you can, buy tickets online. It will save you a little bit of time. Second, get there early Third bring a mask Fourth social distancing is strictly enforced Fifth the only restrooms are three porta pots before you get inline. Sixth try and go in a small group of 2-4 or split your group up. Trust me it will be worth it.

Alright lets get into this. This is a real good haunt. The day we went there was a line that had already formed. We were able to walk to about to the halfway or 3/4 full mark. We still had to wait about an hour. It is all outside (except for some of the shacks/houses) so dress accordingly. Do not wear your good shoes the ground is dusty and if it rains it will probably be muddy.

I do not scare easy but I was getting jumps and scares frequently. Most haunted attractions you can see what is coming or just "have that feeling" something is going to happen. I was only able to predict a couple of the scares. After waiting in line you will be led to a shack where instructions are given. Once you exit the shack it is game on. The first scare is about 20' away after you leave. This is all I am going to tell you. Be prepared for some blackout areas, fog and animatronics. The characters looked good and stayed in character. The only issue I had was we caught up to the group in front of us and the group behind us caught up to us. None of the actors will touch you but they will get right upon you.

We traveled nearly 3 hours to get here and it was worth it. We had plans to visit another haunt afterwards but after this we did not feel anything would be able to compare we continued to talk about this haunt on our way home.

My wife and I are huge haunt enthusiast and this is one of the few that we will continue...

Driving down the long dark road, there are no signs or employees directing you to the correct parking lots. Once we found a parking lot near the entrance, there were no signs for tickets, pricing, or entrance protocols. They take your vapes from you or make you take them back to your car and there is a metal detector and police presence. That would be nice to know before driving around and parking over a quarter of a mile away and walking all the way to the entrance. They were holding peoples vapes (which go in mouths) tossed in a plastic bin together - which is completely disgusting. We were never offered pricing and just asked “how many” when purchasing tickets. After, again, walking very far to the line we found out it was a 90 minute wait and that fast passes were available for only $10 more. So, once again, more backtracking and walking to purchase those and get into the fast pass line. They iterate and reiterate that the trail is 30 minutes- it was about 15. The scares and actors would be appropriate for children, and as a haunted attraction enthusiast, was quite disappointing. When you exit, you’re about 1/4 - 1/2 mile from the main lot. So you have to pick your poison on which lot to park in and whether you want to trek before or after. When you exit there is a very long field you have to walk across while being escorted by security, which gave way creepier vibes than the actors. The disorganization, complete lack of information given to patrons, steep prices, and lackluster child-friendly “scares” will have me passing on any future visits. Which is sad because it was a very good attraction when it was in...
