TLDR: bad bad loud bad greedy bad
So disappointing. I remember when Wiard's was legitimately frightening, and a good time. We used to go for just the hayride, but after a few years of no changes, we expanded our experience... and a couple of years ago, the Asylum, Mind Shaft, and Barn made up for the lackluster hay ride. This year, anticipating the same old hay ride, we got all 6 events and upgraded to VIP... $200 for 3 people. The Hay Ride of the Lost had many changes - new sets and lots of animatronics - apparently to make up for the lack of actors. The SplatterTown was as much fun as you can have in 45 seconds. Two "caged" clowns does not a haunt make. We skipped The Asylum, mostly because we couldn't identify the VIP line and the main line was really long. At near 11, with it feeling like Night Terrors would close at any minute, we didn't want to waste our tickets standing in line, and moved on to the Mind Shaft - a favorite from the past. The Mind Shaft was another big disappointment - from the lack of traffic control - even at the beginning where we were told "you can go in whenever you want, but you might want to wait a bit to give the next group some time" to kind of guessing when to go in and almost immediately running into the group in front of us. But the absolute worst part was the almost incessant, WAY TOO LOUD, noise. None of it really supported the scenes, and really it just seemed like noise for the sake of noise... Or maybe to cover the sound of compressors? Regardless, it was mind-rattling, and not in any scary way. Jarred and disappointed, we made our way to The Barn, where after asking the (I swear he was high) crowd control man, we joined the VIP "area" - there was no line - and awaited our turn. The greeter here did a great job with his character, and crowd interaction - but again, that's where the quality ended. The actors IN the haunt did nothing for traffic control... though that's probably because they had headache or were permanently deaf from the volume. This haunt exits through the gift shop, which is fine, but there's no clearly identified exit that doesn't lead past the cash registers. Save your money, have a good night - go to...
Read moreAMAZING HAUNTS! 👹👻🤡💀😈👽👺 🕸🕷Very creepy🕷🕸 They use some fantastic & effective scare tactics + they have elaborate sets, backgrounds, props & setups. I L♡VE that they have really great, very ENTERTAINING actors; both haunt & floating* (*roaming around any/every where) who are assigned characters & use [or go off] "scripts"....which provides a much better, more cohesive theme (vs the random & uncoordinated so-called "actors" u find at most places).
This place gets ur blood pumping with 5 separate haunts; including an amazing hayride!
They provide extremely entertaining, enjoyable, scarry 🎃Halloween👻 fun that is a far cry above👍🏼the average scare factor🔪 of most haunted attractions!!
Also, THEY HAVE THE ★ABSOLUTE VERY BEST★ CARMEL APPLES 🍎 ANYWHERE IN MICHIGAN!!🥰😍🤩😋 They do pasteurize their apple cider ~*though I prefer UNPASTEURIZED cider, which is SO MUCH BETTER! –but it's pretty good though (for pasteurized cider anyway).... AND their Country Store stays open until 11:00 p.m. on the nights the haunts are open!! (SMART) They have all sorts of fantastic Sweets and Treats available as well as fresh apples from the orchard. You can buy their cider & doughnuts (*which you can get a taste of first IF you survive their haunted hayride), Fresh Baked Pies, Frozen Pies you can bake yourself at home, plus all sorts of other tasty treats & things at the Country Store, & the staff is always wonderful & very friendly there!
This place is a MUST VISIT for the Autumn season in Michigan! Day AND Night!! Since they also have tons of family-friendly activities and events all fall🍂 during the...
