  A Spooky Walkthrough with talented actors. We went twice!

  We went real early in the season so the line was really short. It was a slow night too, so we were invited to go through again. Little things were different and some actors remembered us and made us feel special. It's a well paced path with 5 distinct areas. I loved that some parts were non-linear and you were laughed at and chased for making wrong choices. I made different mistakes the second time too. I had a great time and the actors were great fun.

  Email Verified This is what a farm haunt SHOULD be

  DarkSyde Acres has been a regular on the haunt tour every year. It is in the most inconvenient location which is why we may skip it this year going to other states, but the location is part of the character of the haunt. You park in a field and walk a fair distance to the main grounds of the haunt. The whole thing feels like a "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "Devil's Rejects/House of 1000 Corpses" style film set when you're walking up. They have chainsaws going off in intervals in their huge maze portion of the haunt, which you hear as you walk up to ticketing, there's flames that shoot out above the section that's themed Catacombs, and the interactivity of the queueing line is top notch. The main building you wait in to get in is perfectly decorated for the mood, and the haunt really starts terrifying and gets better from there. They advertise it like it's 5 haunts in one, but like The Haunt in grand rapids or Awaken in Leslie, all the haunts are one after another. They do not break up the flow like The Haunt does though, it's seamless the way the themes transition. The absolute best parts are the beginning, the chainsaw maze (really, really scary. In 2021 they actually "got" me with the chainsaw and it's an all-time memory in a haunt.), and The Abyss pirate ship section. The actors are awesome and they do a feedback/talk back at the end to give notes to adjust for future groups. Personally, this haunt is everything I look for in haunted attractions. The setting is a character, the actors care, the price point is insanely low ($22 for general admission for 40-45 minutes of walkthrough), and the ownership embraces the community. 10/10, sad it won't fit in in 2023 but am looking forward to returning in 2024 and beyond.

  Email Verified Great haunt!

  The lines are decent and there are multiple attractions to do. The props and actors are portrayed well and it is a long attraction to visit. It is definitely worth the wait.

  Maze scared the daylight out of me

  I don't like getting scared but wow!! This one was so much fun. The set design had great details, while scares were properly planned and executed. The chainsaw maze scared the daylight out of my friend. We screamed a couple times but that's what makes it fun. Definitely coming back again!!!!!

  Email Verified Absolutely thrilling

  Been a Halloween freak as long as I can remember and never miss any haunts in my area. Visited DarkSyde Acres and I loved the scares and the intensity it had. Haunts and the scenes were absolutely thrilling. Overall, a must go haunted attraction to experience a high-level terror packed with fun and memories.

  Mass screaming once entered...

  Went with my office colleagues and our group descended to mass screaming more than once inside the dark passages. The costumes/makeup of the characters were impressive. The haunt was better than most of the ones I visited in the state this year. Certainly recommend it.

  100% recommend

  100% recommend it to people who are tired of the same old haunted house. Had a blast and a few startles.Good amount of scare actors and they were good.Chainsaw maze was my favorite. Few of the jump scares there startled me to the core. The 3D haunt scared the crap out of her.

  Email Verified Awesome concept

  Dark maze was an awesome concept. You don’t see much ahead, and you are a sitting duck to all the scares coming your way. There was lots of screaming happening all around here. The clowns in the 3D haunt gave my wife few terrifying moments. Actors’ performance was good, and the staff was helpful. Not too expensive for what it offers either. Recommend this.

  Email Verified Outstanding show

  Outstanding show. This one was better than many other haunts I've visited. Went there with my 13-year-old sonand we had an amazing experience. It scared us lots of times, and there was no way you could anticipate what is next. Reasonably Priced as well.

  Nerve-wracking terrors

  I and friends had a great time at DarkySide. My personal favorite was the maze. It was both fun and terrifying to get lost in the maze and get scared from all sides. The catacombs’ winding pathways hid some of the nerve-wracking terrors I’d ever experienced.
