The Death Trail Reviews

Email Verified Beyond expectation

It was not what I had expected. The place was completely jam packed by the time I reached there. They were sending us in groups and had to wait for our turn in the waiting area. The wait did not bog us down as we had a lot of things going on there. Food trucks had delicious offers and we got photo ops with the monsters. We could feel how it is going to be in the actual haunt. Trust me this is one you need to go to.

Escape room was fun

I had been here two years ago and there are major positive improvements in this place. Went with my family this year. The waiting area which they call as midway was more of fun and frolic. The actors were around to take selfies with us. It had games, music and also food trucks. The escape room was fun and challenging. No actors, just puzzles and clues and we need to get out of it in five minutes. Definitely plan to go back!

Best place to visit

The trail was a terrifying 40 minutes. Never did I come across such horrifying scenes and actors make us run and scream. Best place to visit.

Lot of scares!

A lot of scares! There were enough and more scares executed by tons of actors. It was the best haunts I have been so far and we loved being here. Great staff and a friendly vibe. Most of the scares were performed by live actors with less use of animatronics. The actors were in their best makeover. The scares just pop out of nowhere and will have you in gripping fear.

Email Verified Super Fun!

We were a group of 7 and we all enjoyed it. It was perfect until the group in front of us slowed down and we caught up with them and the actors jumping out of nowhere weren't scaring us because they had already gotten them first. I saw Michael Meyers and almost died. Overall we had a great time.

Email Verified Great night of fright

Had an awesome time. Trail was scary at every corner. Just when you thought it was over another haunt was waiting for you. Only negative was the mini service at the end of trail. It should be optional. It kind of brought my heightened adrenaline level from the trail crashing down.

Full of excitement, lots of surprises

Fantastic!! It’s an unforgettable adventurous night filled with Halloween spirits in each face we see. The place is so nicely decorated that chill our mind and body ready for the haunting. Trail was full of excitement and lots of surprises. It’s beyond our prediction and imagination. Nice work by the team. Never miss this place if you want to try something special for this haunting season. Affordable ticket rates and lots of scare factors present.

Scariest trails I’ve been to

The Death Trail provided an amazing experience. The actor’s makeup and props were realistic. It was one of the scariest trails I’ve been to. You can’t say when someone will pop up from nowhere to scare the shit out of you. The clowns frightened my GF to the extent that she started screaming. The chainsaw guy was pretty creepy too. It is better priced as well. Check this place out if you love scares.

Email Verified Not worth the price

The scares at the trail were ordinary. I’ve seen other haunt houses as well this Halloween, and some of those were better than the Death Trail. The religious speech at the end was avoidable. People come here to get scared and not to hear the speech. Not worth the price paid on tickets. Avoidable.

Email Verified Nice scares, challenging tracks to navigate

It was our first visit, and my son was talking about how he wasn’t going to get scared in a haunt. But he was holding into me the whole time.. lol. The costumes were creepy to say the least. The trail was longer than I expected. It had some nice scares and few challenging tracks to navigate. Few of the sets and designs.. I have not seen similar ones in any other haunt. Yes, crawling was fun. The clowns were pretty scary too. The Christian speech at the end came as a surprise initially. But then I realized that we were in a church and so that was expected. Overall, a nice haunt with a difference.

Ruined the experience

I was a bit disappointed. The scare factor was below par. There weren’t enough actors and hence scares in the trail. The touch of religion ruined the experience. For that, people go to church. A haunt is not a place to promote Christianity. Ticket rates were a tad high as well.

Email Verified Big scream night for us

It was a big scream night for all of us at Death Trail. The idea and methods used for scaring was amazing. If you are in search of something deadly and insane then here is your answer. This place will make you run and laugh at the same time. What are you waiting for come out and give it a try. It’s damn sure you are going to love this place.

Email Verified Excellent and scary trail through the woods

This is one of the best attractions I’ve been to and I’ve been to a lot. Great setup in the woods. Takes about 25-30 minutes to walkthrough depending on who you’re with. The “sets” have nice details and the scares are plenty. Seems to change up its theme every year so it’s always worth going again and again.

Email Verified Scares were topnotch

I’ve been here long back. They have improved a lot since. I and my BF came for Halloween and we had a great time at The Death Trail. The Halloween stages were well designed and set up. We were among the last of the groups, and still the volunteers tried their best to scare the crap out of us. There were some difficult paths to take, including creeping through a tunnel. If you have a bad knee, it is not a good idea. The scares were topnotch. I screamed twice to be honest. Overall, the experience was worth the money spent on tickets. I will recommend this place to everyone.

Email Verified Best Haunt Ever

They have really upped the ante this year Sets are great, costumes are fantastic. They work on a color calling system for groups now so there are no lines. There are food trucks and plenty to do while you wait. It is well managed and although it looks to be crowded, they really take care of everyone. The trail takes over 30 minutes to walk and for the cost it is well worth your money. Better than any other attraction around. You will not be disappointed!!!

The Death Trail is a great time!

The Death Trail is The Best Trail

This haunted trail is awesome. It takes a good 30 minuets to get through and is totally worth the $15. It’s hard to find the best product for the best price, but The Death Trail exceeds expectations. It gets better and better every year.

Email Verified One of the best I’ve visited.

I’ve been to haunted attractions all over the country and this is one of my favorites. The attraction gets better every year. They’ve added a midway and an escape the room section. There are so many actors on the trail who are expertly trained. It takes over 30 minutes to complete the trail so the price of admission is well wort it.

A good experience

The place is located behind a church, with a very good set up. The place was too much crowded and we had to wait in their waiting room. But, I must say, even the waiting area looked very good with multiple fun filled activities for us. There were a lot of kids who had come to enjoy here with their parents. A good experience indeed.

The trail was superb lengthy and filled with tons of fun. There are many characters to entertain you at different spots. You will never feel bored at any stage of the trail. We are happy to say that this one has become our new Halloween tradition. $15 is really reasonable for the thrilled adventure that lies ahead.

Trail was OK

The trail was OK enough. But I did not like the way they forced religion on the visitors at the end. Ideally, religion and belief should be separate from entertainment. A one-time visit.

Email Verified Awesome Death Trail setup!!!

This was a well put together Halloween trail. I had never been to it before and I am glad I finally got to go with friends. I think for those who keep talking about the religion side of it are blowing it a little out of proportion. I have my own church and was not there to join their church, however I still showed respect in the end where they shared their information about their church. They never made me feel like they were trying to do anything more than that. If you don't want to be understanding of other religions then you shouldn't go. If you love all mankind regardless and want to enjoy a really good scare in a safe environment next to a house of God with police presence. Then you should go with friends and have a blast like I did.

Don't Let the Creepy Church Fool You!

Previous comments seem out of touch to me. I visit haunts everywhere and by far this is one of the best. Who cares if its where it is. They put on a great show. Scary as... well you know... great atmosphere and actors and sets were really good. yeah you might get a little 2 minute message at the end.. but its worth the wait.. highly recommend !

Email Verified Very uncomfortable

The trail itself was a little scary with people jumping out to scare. However, there is absolutely nothing on their website that claims this is a church organized scare tactic to have you go into a prayer circle at the end and talk about Jesus. I have respect for other religions, but please let people know what they're going into. After the prayer circle at the end of the trail, there is a crowd of people shoving pamphlets in your hands and trying to push you into their religion. Very disorganized and rude people to push things on strangers who are there for Halloween, NOT a sermon.
