Oasis Island of Terror — Local services in Robbinsville Township

2025 update:

This is our 4th year going and it’s always an absolute must. We used to go to like 3-4 a year but it was overkill so we like to pick 2 good ones. This is the first year we notificed a major difference. They FINALLY implemented VIP. All of these people giving 1 stars because of a wait, I’m sorry but the $25 is literally worth not waiting over an hour so that’s on you. The inside area had more animatronics and decorations. However, i will say, I didn’t love that they were 1/2 decorated for Christmas…? Sorry but it’s still Halloween season , there were Christmas lights in some areas and Halloween props in other areas. There was even a section of the woods that had spooky Christmas music. It didn’t necessarily ruin anything but I wish they held off on whatever Christmas stuff they do until the season was over. The woods was awesome as always. I definitely noticed some new areas and there were scares a plenty. I do think the blackout needs an overhaul. The gimmick is basically you’re in the dark and this time around it felt a bit less scary and even rushed. It would be nice if they added a third haunt but the woods makes the $65 worth it honestly. The implementation of the VIP section was pretty seamless. Overall this is still a top tier attraction for those in this area of Jersey.

2021: Wow. This was excellent. You don’t hear about this one as much as some of the others. Every year we try and tackle the haunts that are within about 40 miles of where we live in central Jersey. We typically do: field of terror, Brighton, gravity hill, house on the hollow, etc. We wanted to try something new and were torn between scary rotten in brick and this one. I am so happy we chose this one. For one, there’s actually scary music playing throughout the farm which is awesome. Many of these haunts are a little too family oriented and play regular music. One place even had a live band (?). I appreciate that some haunts want to make $ and make it more of an all night experience with food and live entertainment, but honestly, I want to have the general experience throughout that I am at a haunted attraction.

We were afraid of long lines, especially since it was the last night of operation. We got there around 8:30 and waited for about 20 minutes for the woods and there was no line for the blackout. The woods was AMAZING. I haven’t been to a haunt that’s in the woods. Typically it’s a cornfield. Even if there were a few areas where nothing was happening, the general ambience totally made up for it. I felt like I was in a horror movie with the way it was lit and set up. This attraction probably had the most actors actually hiding within the woods/fields and not just in the different areas that are set up. It’s around a mile long and took about 20 minutes, but I could’ve gone again. There’s several areas that are pitch black and was genuinely unnerving. Towards the end, the actors had their masks off and were talking and when they saw us they got into character, but it was the end of the night and didn’t ruin the previous aspects.

The blackout was also pretty cool. They give you a glow stick and you’re in a dark area. Pretty good jump scares. I wish it was a tad longer, but honestly I would go for the woods every year so this was an added bonus. There’s a third haunt that’s been closed to COVID, and I really hope they open it again as I wanted to do one more. All in all, this place firmly cemented itself at the top of my list for haunts in NJ/PA. I was annoyed there was no VIP area, but we didn’t need to wait long. There are a few other haunts deeper in PA I haven’t gotten to (field of screams) but for the radius we like to drive, this and house on hollow hill are by far the...

Oasis is one of the few haunts in NJ/PA we return to year after year. As a couple in our late 30s, it's hard to find an experience that consistently delivers, but Island of Terror has earned a spot as a bookend of our Halloween season (we go to the last night of their run and look forward to it all month).

The 2 attractions each have their own unique ambiance. The Woods Have Eyes is a walking trail that relies on the strength of its actors, sets, and subtle but well-integrated noise/music/lighting to achieve a truly eerie effect. Unlike some haunts, who think "loud and chaotic" equals scary, this trail shines in making the most of the natural outdoor environment, while also incorporating exceptional set designs that revel in simple darkness and claustrophobic situations. Easily the best walking trail we've experienced in years of haunt-going.

Blackout is just that, navigating a completely dark labyrinth walkthrough with only the aid of a glowstick. Actors you can't see taunt you from the darkness. A subtle strobe flash every now and then might provide just enough light to navigate the next turn. No fancy sets or props here. Just making your way through and hoping not to get lost. I don't think I've ever come across another haunt using this method as a specific, full-time concept in its own right, but Oasis does it to marvelous effect.

Island of Terror also receives major praise for their attention to spacing groups appropriately. Even when we do run into others, it never turns into one continuous line of people just shuffling through. And it's not like this place doesn't get busy! For the best experience, we recommend coming right at opening on a less popular night. One tiny critique is parking can get rough and confusing at peak times (and isn't as well-managed as many other haunts) which almost put us off when we visited for the first time. Problem solved by showing up early for subsequent years.

Highly recommend Oasis Island of Terror for their subtle yet effective moodiness, strong actors, and sensory experiences that lean into "less is more" rather than stimulation overload. We look forward to many more enjoyable years...

My friend and I try to hit up several scare attractios each year. This was our first experience at Oasis and I have to say it was so worth it! I think the price is very reasonable based on the quality and length of the two attractions.

The "Blackout" attraction had an hour and half long line, which isn't Oasis' fault as it shows how popular they are and we came Halloween weekend so that's to be expected. In all my years, I've never actually been scared at an attraction. However, I was TERRIFIED throughout Blackout and I loved every minute of it. The workers do a good job at keeping the pacing good so you're not too close to anyone in other groups. The glowstick frankly did not help us at all but I liked that because it made me more terrified!

The other attraction is excellent as well. I recommend wearing boots because my friend slipped in the mud a bit, and there is one point where it's pitch black and you need to wind through a bendy tunnel without any light. The actors are great and I can tell they enjoy what they do a lot. At one point, a group behind us got scared and panicked and shoved their way past us, and an actor took the time to stop and ask us if we were okay, which I really appreciate.

The bathrooms had a longer line, and features four individual bathroom rooms. I didn't have any food so I can't speak to that but I did see a variety of food and some beverages offered. The small gift shop area has t shirts and snacks as well I believe.

I overall enjoyed this haunt very much. The actors were very good at their job, the music wasn't too loud but was still spooky, the strobe lights and lasers weren't excessive, and the fog machines were used sparingly but well placed in my opinion. I also noticed that most scare actors had water bottles and a little place to sit in several nooks, which I like to see because I know how much of a toll tthat job can have! I will definitely recommend Oasis over some other local haunts. Between my friend and I, we've been to Field of Terror, Six flags Fright fest, and Eastern State Penitentiary and we both agree this...
