The Edson Incident Reviews

Email Verified Absolute favorite!

This is the best haunted attraction I have been to. My husband and I go with my sister in law and her husband to different haunted attractions and this one was all of our favorite!! Although it is busy and has a bit of a wait time, the way they have it set up so you can wait in your car and not have to stand out in the cold is a huge bonus. There is so much effort and decoration put into every single area of the ship. They do so well on targeting people's fears. There were themes and areas that I've never seen before and it was amazing. Such a phenomenal job and we will absolutely be coming back in the years to come. It was a fantastic time.

Email Verified Definitely fun with many genuine thrills

I went with my friend tonight and we both had a good time with a lot of scares and a lot of laughs. Prior to yesterday I had never even heard of this attraction, but I can say now that I'm really glad we went there and had the experience. We took turns going first through sections, and going first or second has it's own flavor of scary. Some of the lasers have such a disorienting effect in the dark, it really adds to the experience. I feel like they had the level of lighting mastered. It's super cool descending into the ship as it feels like you're going deeper into this inescapable Hell. You've got to let go and buy into the whole lore of the attraction and you will have a lot more fun. All in all we really enjoyed ourselves and will for sure be going again next year.

I love this Haunt. Super fun. The boat adds to the scares in a fantastic way. It’s close and even though I’ve come four years in a row it’s still worth it to me and my group! Big shout out to 5-2-Oh! Shrimp tacos are the perfect thing to wait in line with

My family and I did the Edson incident about 6 years ago and it was fun. However, I was not expecting to be as terrified and shocked (in a great way) as I was this year! My friend and I attended the 2023 Incident and we were scared out of our minds! We had such a great time and it was so worth the fee! It's close and it's unique in that it is a part of American history! I highly recommend it!

Email Verified Terrifying Fun

I ended up going through the Incident alone, and it was one of the most exhilarating things I have ever done! I highly recommend this haunted attraction. I had never been on the ship before experiencing the Incident, and I think that made it even scarier and more fun and immersive for me. Some spots were so dark, I did not know which way to go, and there were many narrow stairways almost like ladders. It was so much fun though, everyone was very nice, and I will definitely be returning!

Email Verified An excellent evening adventure.

The adventure takes place on a U.S. warship that takes guests in from the bridge to the depths of the ship. The narrow passages and companionways add to the claustrophobia and scary points in the adventure (no spoilers here). As with all older warships these passages, hatches, and stairwells, etc., can be difficult to navigate for taller or larger visitors. The adventure was great, everything my wife and I wanted from a haunted attraction. By the end, my wife was frazzled. Well done! The management and haunted crew were supper nice. My wife accidentally dropped something and they went out of their way to return it. Please visit this attraction and enjoy it. We also visited this ship several years ago, and during the daytime, as a floating museum, there's a lot to see and learn from. Please do this as well and give proper respect to the ship.

It was a great experience. Not only do you get the experience of the haunted house but you also get the experience of the ship tour in one. Just watch your step and don’t trip. The scare actors were really good and made the experience 10 times better. The workers selling tickets and giving the run down are very polite and genuinely enjoy their job so it makes it the experience way more enjoyable.

Email Verified Super Unique Concept!

This haunt is so cool. Ran by the historic preservation society that owns the boat, they totally do the goofy Scooby-Doo style cartoony-makeup-and-ghosts-haunt to a T. It is family-friendly and leans into the fact that this boat is the destination of many field trips across Michigan's schools.The Edson is a real ship that saw wartime action in Vietnam, commissioned in 1958 and retired in 1988. That fact alone makes this a "legit" haunted boat without the decorations, and the biggest strong suit of this haunt is the boat itself. The haunt takes you on a one-way path through the ship, starting on the top deck/bridge and eventually going through the engine rooms and up a hatch on the stern. It is not easy to navigate physically with very narrow passages becoming even more narrow with the haunt decorations added in. The scares are mostly jump scares, and the actors dress the part in naval uniforms as it seems they may be volunteers or work with the museum that owns the boat.All-in-all this is a decent haunt, at a good price point with the profits going to a good cause, and if it wasn't so far away from my group's home base, we'd go up every season since it's so unique.Pros:- Real, war-used Vietnam era ship- The actors/volunteers are good and kind to younger kids- Super cool getting to the parking lot and seeing it lit up and hearing the horn blow every 90 seconds.- There's a light history presentation before the haunt, not nearly what you would get visiting the regular museum, but enough to get something "more" from your haunt experience.Cons:- Line can get ridiculously long. They only allow a certain amount of people to stand in the line and they do a first-come, first-served digital queue. This could very easily be alleviated by doing what haunts like Eloise do and have them sell a set number of tickets per half hour time slot, but this issue is ultimately minor.- It's really tight inside so groups can back up if one group moves slowly due to accessibility issues. This happened to our group and kind of ruined the experience because the lady in front of us would not let us pass her group, causing 4 groups to all exit together.- If you like adult/gory/intense horror, this haunt is not that. I did not factor this con into my score.

The Edson is always on my Spooky To Do List!The people who put on the event, and all the people who volunteer, are all so passionate about saving the Edson and making it the top Scare Location in the State!The costumes, decor, and ambience are perfect for this old ship! And of course, the Edson has lots of spookiness without any help- the creaking and groaning of metal, and the resident ghosts may even make an appearance... if you are brave enough!

If you're debating on a haunt to go to, pick this one.

Me and my girlfriend went here on the first weekend of October and it was our first time experiencing this haunt. I didn't go in expecting to be blown away but I left genuinely impressed. People go on about how St Charles or Jackson or Holly has the best haunts in MI, but I didn't feel as immersed as I was here. You don't see too many haunts on a warship so it was refreshing to experience something new. Overall this is in my top 5 haunts in MI and it's definitely worth the small price compared to other more expensive haunts.

Email Verified Recipe for Fun!

We've enjoyed this scare for 4 years and each time is a fun, new experience! The Edson is a beautiful piece of history that generates a unique energy and eerie excitement in the air. You approach the massively incredible ship - ominously backlit by moonlight - and climb aboard, taking in her grandeur and rich history. Passing mounted machine guns, you inhale one last breath of the crisp, fall, night air and cross the threshold. Fog and dim lights engulf you and your anticipation rises. With heightened senses, you twist and turn continuing deeper into the belly of the beast, climbing down ladder after ladder into the unknown abyss. Ofen being unable to decipher actors from props, you're on high alert as your eyes scan who or what's lurking in the darkness. The environment creates perfect opportunities to elicit frightful screams and fun jump scares. But don't let your guard down with such distractions... you never know who's following you or what will pounce from the shadows and strike again! Each room offers a new opportunity to look inside the mad scientists lair, at the zombie infirmary, or captains quarters of death. From strobe lights, death metal, chainsaws, and crazy chaos to claustrophobic, silent darkness .. your heart and mind race. The layered scares and adrenaline rush push your senses to the limit. It's the perfect recipe for fear and fun. Kudos to the two families who continually reinvent the scares and keep us coming back for more. We'll see you again next year!

This was the first haunted ship that I have been on. It was such a unique experience! Going deeper and deeper into this giant war ship definitely added to the creepy factor, plus it is supposedly haunted for real. You can do tours of it during the day as well, if you're a history buff. Would definitely go back again! Make sure you wear good shoes though, because there are lots of small ladders you have to climb up/down.

Email Verified A unique haunt

I enjoyed my time aboard the USS Edson. This was my first time on a real warship, and the 2nd haunted house I've been to in my life. The actors did a good job and were rather friendly. More of the actors wearing scary masks/makeup (including scary cloth masks) would have been nice, though weirdly, I felt more unnerved when I was isolated in the ship rather than when an actor appeared behind me. The small flashlight provided was rather useful, though the fog effects could have been turned down a bit. I did get a bit confused in a bigger room were there was heavy fog and lights on the ceiling. At times, shadows appeared to be solid objects. Definitely worth the price of admission, though I wish I could have been there for 2019 season. The upgrades to the admission booth and waiting pavilion are most welcome.

Well utilized

I've been to many haunted attractions around the states but believe me, the Edson is something very different from all the contemporaries, one of the best! Almost all other haunted attractions present us with a house or a related setup and it's almost predictable. The 'Edson' is different, the ship is really exciting and to go inside a ship itself is a surprising and confusing thing, the organizers have very well utilized the fact.

Great scary fun. I screamed a lot. The set up was amazing to say the least. Climbing up the ship’s stairs took some effort. The inside area had many hidden scares and props. Most scares took me by surprise. Actors did a great job in scaring people. I could hear screams from the area ahead of us. The costumes and makeup was spot-on. Entry fee was reasonable for the experience it offered. Recommend this place.

Email Verified Such a Cool Haunt!

The Edson is awesome! I’ve been going to haunted houses and such for 10 years hitting most of them north of Detroit and the Edson is one of the best! It isn’t your normal walk into this building and follow a path through some fake plywood and tarps. This is the real deal! Real ship, real setting, and for the most part realistic scare. I will deffinetly be going back!

Terrific!!!

You would have seen this in series like the twilight saga and ghost asylum and got terrified from it. Well, come here and you face it for real. The best way to spend a Halloween evening and this ship will never leave your memory. The escape room inside the ship was pretty cool. The puzzles were challenging and hard to find. The zombies looked practically real. The set up was designed so well and thanks to the creative team. It was very well organized and no flaws at all. Recommend this haunt for all and will visit again.

Email Verified A real haunted ship

It was my first experience in a haunted ship and it was scary awesome. The back-story tells you what to expect inside the ship. But the scares I saw exceeded all my expectations. The scare actors knew exactly how to scare the crap out of you. Excellent props and effects as well. Overall, it was lots of fun.I highly recommend checking out Edison Incident. Make sure that you are fit enough to climb the stairs.

Email Verified Freaking scary.

My girlfriend had been begging me to go to a haunted house because I have never been to one. So I agreed and chose this. After the long wait in my opinion was some of the scariest shi1 I've seen ever. Though it was scary I didn't know how much it was scaring her until we came to walk up some stairs and she fell to the ground in tears saying she was having a panick attack, I held her and we weren't able to make it through the rest of the haunted ship. I laughed a bit on walking out as her goal was to make me scared, for the fact that this haunted house is that scary and that we were able to get contact to leave and not suffer through it I think is pretty great, I'd suggest this to anyone :)

Unique experience in the ship

This is surely one of the most unique experiences I had on a Halloween day. My friend’s suggestion and we followed suit. The theme was around a ship and the location was great. It was cool and misty with the water around. It was exhilarating to think what is it from inside. Climbing down the ship you realize how haunted the ship is. It was mesmerizing and felt chill. The ambience was great. The set director has done a great job. The scenes are still fresh in the memory and thank you crew for creating something so unique. It was spooky and coming back to experience it again.

Had lots of fun

A unique haunt in that it was set up on a war ship. The storyline sets the tone and sows the seeds of terror in your mind. The rooms and corridors are designed with a creepy feel to it. I could not anticipate the scares and few times, I jumped. The scare staff were professional and they stayed in character. Overall, it was lots of fun. Everyone who loves haunted attractions need to do this. But one must be able to climb the stairs up and down.

Email Verified Felt like being in Titanic

Great job by the management to put this all together. It had plenty of scares and some physical activity. I and BF had a wonderful time at the Edison Incident. It was my first time in a ship. Felt like being in Titanic. The set design was creepy at best with lots of props and actors in scary costumes. On few occasions, I screamed my lungs out and was holding onto his hands all the time. Everyone was professional. Ticket rates were reasonable I thought. I will come again next year.

Email Verified felt like in a haunted titanic

An amazing setup that you feel like in a haunted titanic. It is very much different from the regular haunts. Kudos to the team who set up such a thing for us. It was fun and exhilarating. Quite a mixed feeling. The ship was designed well. It looked authentic and surreal. It was quite cool. An escape room challenge inside a ship. Puzzles were tricky and along that you need to face the zombies. Shooting them was another challenge. It was funny and scary, we had a great time. Highly recommend this.

Email Verified Edson Incident

Great attraction! Scary! Awesome jumps, super creepy ship. You literally are down in the engine rooms, the sleeping quarters, bridge, galley...and everywhere there is something or someone to scare you. Not your typical haunt. Can't wait for 2018 !

The best haunted attraction I've been!

This is my 2nd visit to the haunted ship. They have changed numerous portions of the attraction and I didn’t felt it’s the same I visited last year. New theme and fresh elements added fun. And the $15 price is worth the experience.

Email Verified Terrifying and historical!

I attend the Edson Incident every year. So much hard work and dedication go into making this one of the best-haunted attractions in all of Michigan and it is actually family friendly for families with teens. Make sure to check it out, not only is it a haunted attraction, the ship is haunted year round, who knows you might run into an actual ghost.

Email Verified Amazing!!

This is very creepy and scary! I actually screamed alot, and I NEVER scream. The boat at night is scary enough, but to add the suspense of never knowing when the next scare is coming! And the real spiders add just the right touch! Yikes! Make sure you are physically able to climb up and down some steep stairs to all the different levels though!

More for laughter

Was more of a laugh than anything hide spots predictable no indications of entrance once on the ship. Good enough to take a 2 year old to to scare them. Makeup and effects not great but it was interesting being on the ship theme predictable wished it was more than zombie theme
