They handled covid really well! It was still scary! Remains one of my favorite haunts!

I very much enjoyed my experience at Frightland. I felt like it was reasonably priced and well worth my 50 minute drive from Maryland. I especially liked the attic as it is actually pitch black for most of the walk through. The actors stayed in character throughout the entire park, and the animatronics were awesome!

We went on Halloween night which was nice. The fair ground was overall clean and orderly. The staff were friendly and helpful when looking for restrooms and services. The lines where short which is all ways a plus.Overall it was very enjoyable, I only wish that they lower the price. It was not worth 35 dollars a ticket with service fees. Along with 5 dollars for parking. It wasnt to bad but I felt like they where penny pinching.But again it was enjoyable.

I’ve gone the past two years and it was amazing definitely worth the money for 8 attractions but I did go on Sunday and thankfully they are still doing the hayride but sit on the right side if possible bc the left side has no one. Definitely a lot less actors and they can not come onto the hayride which stunk but still good. The other attractions were good too also a less actors, but a lot of jump scares. They do make you go in order to each attraction but lines weren’t too bad, besides the line to the hayride. I went on a Sunday and was there for about 4 hours. I enjoyed it definitely would say it’s still worth the money but not as good as it normally is

Last night was my first time and it was a great time. They are going their part to keep the experience safe yet fun considering the pandemic. I think guests need to be more mindful about keeping 6 feet though because people still tend to get too close to other groups. Also, if you cant follow the rules of keeping your mask on while on the grounds then just dont go! Why make something so easy so difficult? Either way great place, stay safe and have fun!

Exciting and thrilling experience. I was not sure what to expect and that was the best part about it! Even during the pandemic, it was safe and a great experience. I considered going again and taking others with me to experience the fun. I will definitely be going again next year!

Very creative and the props were amazing! Covid kind of puts a damper on things though with the limited live humans allowed and social distance standards.

I went to Frightland last year and it was amazing. This year however, not so much. I am not sure if it was because it was a Sunday or because of Covid but I rarely saw actors and when I did they were not the least bit scary. Maybe they’re short staffed, I’m not sure but I’m writing this review for any returning fans that want to go this year. I’d say save your money until later in the season when hopefully they get more actors in. The greeters were the best part, especially the guy at the attic but other than that, the lines were just as long and to wait to walk through and not have anyone there to scare you.

So much fun. Plenty of jump scares and an impressive production. Also, they take Covid safety serious, so no worry of catching the actual plague... Although, the zombie section may have some unknown virus...

The staff did amazing on protecting and scaring under COVID 19 circumstances. I gave 4 stars bc we had a gentleman on the hayride tells what was around each bend. I believe he worked there or knew who did. Once we got away from that group it was unforgettable and the best scare ever!

Visited frightland Halloween night and really enjoyed myself. They did a great job with enforcing covid precautions which made me feel as safe as possible. It was clear that because of the pandemic they were lacking actors but it was still enjoyable nonetheless. Can’t wait to come back after covid restrictions are lifted!

Highly disappointed this year. I have been here plenty of times and can always know I will be scared. I don’t know if it was due to COVID restrictions but I was definitely disappointed. Animatronics were in obvious places which takes the being scared part out of it. Walking through the houses was boring barely anyone jumped out at all. The hayride was a full disappointment maybe two or three people jumped out the whole ride. Once we got through the first four attractions we didn’t waste our time on the last four. Hope next year is better.

I bought 2 tickets in advance online. Because I had to, otherwise they would be sold out. And prior to the day I got the tickets for, everyone at my job site had to quarantine because of someone having covid. So I tried to reach out to frightland to explain this and try to change the date and noone responded to me. So now Im just out of the money. Terrible customer service. You would think during these times it would be different.So I emailed again, with no response....what kind of a service is this.... I literally emailed you twice with no response. And I know it was received because I got an automated response from your website. This is wrong given the time we are in.

Review №24

Was very nice. Loved the sets and the animatronics. Would like to have seen some more actors with those props on the hayride but once dropped off this quickly improved. The giant props and animatronics were great throughout the entire property. The flow of all the haunts was mostly natural where one lead you into the next. Also with covid they did a stellar job maintaining safety protocols while still keeping it fun and spooky..For us, we visited Frightland as part of a road trip; so we essentially drove from where we stayed at the night before for Pennhurst (up on the other side of the Philly area outskirts), and it was well worth it. Better value than most other haunts weve visited this year. And again, well maintained and nice overall set up.

Had a blast! Safely had the yell scared out of us! The crew and ghouls were on point with the Covid safety restrictions, too. Loved the fact they had sanitizer stations.Definately worth the trip, it will take your mind off the pandemic for a bit.GREAT JOB Frightland!!

Review №26

It was OK this year. They should’ve hired more actors to scare you on the hayride or in any of the attractions. They already took out the carnival rides and had no concession stands but still charge the same $35. I was a little disappointed I really think they got over on us this year.You spelled my name entirely wrong. $5 off isn’t suffice.. y’all should be charging half price..

I’ve been here last year and it was great but this year was so bad. There are maybe 3 or 4 actors in the haunted houses. You basically just walk around after waiting in a long line. Was not scary at all. Not worth the money.

This was my first time ever going to Frightland. Ive seen it from Rt.1 for five years, since we moved to southern Delaware. I dont do Holloween and was truly never interested in participating in its festivities. The reason I decided to give it a shot was, recently my husband of forty years and I just started dating again. We have friends who date frequently, (twenty-five year married) that were determined not to get into the rut my husband and myself fell into.Sooo...as one of our date night themes, I decided to take advantage of this time of the season for a fun, fright filled, double date night.From the time we parked our car awaiting the other couples arrival, we got a chance to meet Mike, a parking lot attendant here, of 20 years. We booked Saturday TICKETS for 9:00, and our friends were running terribly late. We told Mike we were on the lookout for them, but needed to get a place in line so we wouldnt be turned away for being late, per Fightlands online policy. He was awesome! He assured us hed BOLO for them on our behalf. Remembering their names, car make and color of the car, he assured us he would let them park up front where the entry lines were so theyd have a better chance of catching u freep with us. He did! They were able to meet up with us and all was well.OMG! We had a great night! Every staff member we encountered was Amazing. Having met Mike representing Your Facility from the start, one would think... Well...hell be the only person like that here. Theyll all be serious and about business as usual, because of this covid, mask wearing stuff NOPE! Everybody, and I mean Everybody was Awesome! Great demeanors! ️Everyone, from Mike, to gate entrance security, to event Staff (those of whom prepared us for their particular section of fright) to Ticket scanners, to Alli and Dave, ( five year voluteers) who offered to buy water for me, after I got overheated and stepped aside to rest, forgoing the Haunted Barn attraction. The Security officer worked with me to assure me it was ok to rest, with my husband in the graveyard section with my mask off so I could breathe. Yeah, Im one of those people who fright Easily and Run as though my life depended on it. Great job, by the way, you ghouls and goblins️! Job very well done! You know youve done your jobwhen you can get people to pee on themselves! !Several other Security staff saw me with my head down to which Not One of them dismissed me and my husbands presence in the graveyard. Several of them even offered medical assistance. I mean I cant say enough about You Great people! ️Finally, we finished our activities and were leaving. When I got in my car and noticed I couldnt find my phone. Immediately my husband went back to see if he could find it. Going through the Exit area, he stopped by security. Guess what... someone had turned in my phone. Security made sure it was mine by asking my husband what it looked like. They called the number and...Volah! I got my phone back! WHEW! That for me was the scariest experience all night! No offense Frightland. Our friends (the other couple) thanked me for the suggestion and were all still talking about what a great time of laughter, fright and giggles we had there, for first time visitors. Mission accomplished Frightland!I had such a wonderful experience, I intend to invite my friends and family next year!Anyway....Frightland yall da bomb! I love you guys!️️️️L.

Review №38

Frightland is truly an incredible experience. Ive been to many haunted attractions on the east coast, and I can say that Frightland ranks as one of the highest in terms of quality, quantity, and value. The set designs are amazing. The actors are engaging. The scares are genuinely TERRIFYING and top-notch. They have some of the most creative and unique hayride sets that I have ever encountered... I could go on. Its been a long time since a haunt made me jump so much! In comparison to other haunts in the area, Frightland gives you the most for your money with 8 full attractions as well as a full carnival midway (and rides are included with your ticket purchase). The lines do get long at Frightland (because they try their absolute best the make sure that you dont run into the group in front of you). This makes the experience much more enjoyable and personal (as well as much scarier!). You may have to wait a while, but I guarantee you the experience is well worth it! Frightland will be on my list every Halloween season from now on!

Review №54

I’ve been to Frightland 3 years in a row about to be 4 and it never fails to disappoint all the low reviews about the staff being mean and rude, never happened when I was there all 3 years. The website tells you everything you need to know about going, so don’t say that it doesn’t. It’s always gonna be mainly jump scares, there’s not really any other way to terrify people lol. Plus they change something or add something every single year so one bad year shouldn’t stop you from coming. They made the hayride longer and added new Ghouls. I highly recommend this place. Every time I’ve gone, the food has been good. And people are going to cut in line, you’re just gonna have to suck it up. If you want to make it to all the attractions, start with the hayride and you will be fine. I highly recommend starting with the hayride. The first year I didn’t and didn’t make it to all of them. The two years after that, I started with the hayride and made it to all attractions both times. Most of the money goes to a good cause so you’re not wasting it. Go. To. Frightland!

This place is amazing went last night for black out night. Super intense Actor we’re great in the last house manor house last scene the guys and girl were amazing saying there were gonna get me and I was like nope but they did. Good team work. I been to a lot of haunted houses this year review and this is 10 out 10 with great scare keeping vip line moving for your money. A lot of attraction that are all over 15 to 20 minutes To walk threw. Actor work great at improving and telling the story. Great job all all action. Will be back again next year to review and see what next.

Review №58

The place was clean and had developed sets but there was very little interaction. The actors tried to make rounds through the lines to entertain everyone which helps but they need to think it out better and come up with something other than just jump scares. I had a good time while there and the Prison was pretty cool.

Review №59

Hopefully next time I go it won’t be overrun by teenagers. Waited in line for the haunted hayride for an hour before I gave up. All the other lines were filled to the brim as well. My bracket for the rides snapped off as well and I was told to get a new one to go to the ticket line which was far far far too long of a wait. We just ended up leaving. No fun in waiting in lines all night just to get on one ride by the time they close. Don’t go on Saturday nights. Not worth it. I was really looking forward to some fun and some scares. Just got wait time and back pain.

Was a great experience, loved the hayride and the attic the most but the others were just as good. The only down fall was some of the workers on the carnival rides were very rude and cursing at the kids was totally uncalled for. We went on a friday got there at 6 got in line for the hayride immediately. Hayride started around 7:30 and we were about to hit all the other attractions and the carnival rides a leave around 10:15 not bad at all! Will be back next year !!!

Review №64

Terrible.The best thing about the entire experience was the Sky Master ride. The hayride was not scary, literally actors in poor costume yelling at the top of their lungs - they don’t sneak up on you or make any attempts to frighten you. Spent almost $200 was told me and the family would be able to attend all 8 attractions, that was BS. Each line the wait exceeded 45 minutes (the event opens at 6p and close at 10p). The food was just as terrible as the attractions. I would definitely only recommend for children 9 and younger - this event is severely PG, my 11 year old was bored out of her mind!

The attractions were great however I was injured in the prison attraction and when injured the characters continued to scare instead of assisting and when we exited I asked security for assistance and they notified me they had nothing to do with that. they did not direct me in the direction for help and ignored my request for medical attention/ice pack. It was very unprofessional and ruined our night

Review №72

Went this Thursday and it was amazing. Even on a weeknight they are fully staffed in the houses. They count to make sure group sizes are small enough so you get the full effect in the houses. Reading others reviews does not reflect on how awesome this place is. I have been to bates motel, eastern state penitentiary,Pennhurst asylum etc. and I feel like Frightland is the best for your money. Went to the penitentiary a few weeks ago and the actors didn’t talk or really do anything but stand there and it was very disappointing. Frightland is always awesome!

Review №73

Its hard to assign a value to an experience like this. With the sheer number of actors and the quality of the props, I cant imagine this place is cheap to operate. Its undeniably impressive that a homegrown attraction has grown to exceed the likes of six flags frightfest(my only real point of reference) in every category.That said, $40 a head isnt cheap either. To make it more palatable, Id recommend making two nights out of it. Get there early and do the outdoor attractions and rides one night. Save the ticket and you can do all the indoor attractions another night. Youll pay $5 for parking twice but otherwise youll be there until midnight just to do the attractionsOh and food is actually decently priced

My wife and I went here 7 years ago and had a blast and wanted to re-experience this place again. Probably should have left the nostalgia as just a memory. Don’t get me wrong, this place has lots of stuff to do and see, and the attractions all have great quality to them. The only issue is simply the amount of waiting in line for everything is absurd, mostly because of the VIP tickets. See these ruin it for other people who didn’t pay because they hold up the normal line to give preference. I waited over 40 mins in a line because a group of people all with VIPs got in line and halted the normal line longer than it needed. They either need to cut off the amount of people that are allowed at one time to be here or figure out how to keep lines from getting out of hand. Hell the line for e-tickets took us over 30 mins in itself; we bought those ahead of time to BEAT the lines, not be part of the worst one. We got here at 7pm and only had enough time for 3 out of our 8 attractions. We will try to go during the week to see all our other attractions, but we won’t come back here again, it’s simply too crowded for its own good and I don’t want to spend twice as much as another haunted farm attraction just to have a sped up spot in a line. If you really want to experience this place, avoid any weekend and try the week, and have a deep pocket for that VIP pass, otherwise you’ll spend more time in lines than actual fun activities.

Review №82

Went my 1st time ever this October 2018 with my son and our friends. We had an awesome time! I love scary and this place is off the hook fun!!! Worth getting the all access VIP Pass, unless you dont mind standing in line for hours- which could be fun too if youre on a date.Got poked in my back and sides relentlessly in the Attic and it wasnt a human that touched me. I swung my hand behind me to stop the actor/person from poking me non-stop and no one was there, but the poking continued! Yes, I was the last person in our little group of 6 going through the darkened hallways of nothingness. The funny part is... I didnt know that Frightland was truly haunted until after I told my group what happened. Will I go back- ABSOLUTELY! Im a paranormal investigator and I now want to know more about their history. Hoping one day to investigate this place during off season.

For starters we waited 3 hours in line for the hayride. With a line like that we thought it was gonna be great..... boy were we wrong!! First there was only like 10 actors thru the whole 2 mile hayride and second when you did finally get to see someone they barely jumped out to scare you. Im not sure if they were seriously understaffed or if that was normal but what a complete WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!!!!!

I had a blast in this place!! I bought the fright pass for 40 bucks and I truly enjoyed. You get to enjoy what the whole park has to offer. 40 bucks sounds a lot, but it totally deserves it. My favorite attraction was the hay ride, although there was a very long line, and I had to wait about 50 minutes just to be able to ride it!! Just keep that in mind before coming to this place.

Review №99

Awesome time! I initially thought it was a little pricey until I finished the night. Well worth it. Make sure to get the 8 attraction ticket. It includes unlimited rides if you choose to ride. The only suggestion I have for Frightland is to offer a package for just the 8 attractions and make it cheaper than the 3 combo ticket. Biggest advise I can give for people visiting is to get there at opening, buy your tickets, then go wait in the hayride line. You will be first in and no wait for the other attractions.
