First time in about 10 years visiting and we were amazed how large of an event it is now. We ( two adults) had a great time with plenty of jump scares. Would recommend and get the VIP tickets if you can….. (Line ups are very long and most of your time is spent waiting in them and VIP lines get priority)
As always 5 stars, I go every year and they always add new things and still manage to scare even if you’ve been before. Also see all ages here, bit too scary for the young’uns if you ask me 😂 but 14-60 I’ve seen a huge range of people. It is getting more expensive each year, I think I paid 30$ but honestly for everything you get plus all the work they put in it’s definitely worth that price. The lines for the mazes can get really long but they have a DJ to keep you entertained and you can purchase a fast pass. 🙌
READ THIS BEFORE GOING TO THE FEAR FARM
The Riverbreeze Fear Farm is one of the best Halloween attractions out there. The sets, props, costumes, and of course the amazing work of all the staff and volunteers will incite many screams and be a great time for all.
However, the queuing has gotten completely out of control and severely limits the value of the experience. In the three and a bit hours spent at Riverbreeze we were able to attend two of the six attractions, spending about 15 minutes in each. The remaining time was entirely spent standing in line.
Riverbreeze allows guests to enter as long as they are in line by 9:15pm. This sounds nice at first, but it creates an endless traffic jam where folks don't leave until they've seen all six attractions (after all, they paid for it). Meanwhile, more people are pushed in through the main entrance.
To anybody reading this: do NOT go to the Riverbreeze Fear Farm without VIP tickets. It is absolutely not worth it. Also, consider bringing ear plugs because the corn maze queue passes directly by the DJ speakers, so for prolonged amounts of time your head will be directly next to 100db and higher.
To any Riverbreeze staff reading this: your attractions are excellent, but I strongly recommend you institute a cut-off like how venues do, both for fire code reasons and to make sure people get what they paid for.
Well worth the ticket price, the attractions were all pretty elaborate with some pretty impressive effects, and although there were tons of guests, the staff kept things moving along reasonably quickly. I really liked the variety of attractions, and the actors were great. I did enjoy the fact that there was music for the queues for the corn mazes, but it would be even better if it was more relevant music. Definitely worth checking out, and I hope to come back next year!
How this doesn’t have 5 stars is beyond me, always look forward to going every year, the work put into all of this the month of October is great effort!
I’ve heard complaints about the new DJ set up but personally it’s better then standing quiet in line and everyone looking down at their phones!
Also when I was in line the folks up top were able to look at the crowd and make sure everyone was safe, they did have to get security at one point!
GREAT WORK and makes for a great evening to get a little road trip in and to have some fun!
