The haunted walk was fun. It was a fairly«traditional» haunted walk but for me it was a nice change of pace from the Philly nightlife. I went with 7 friends and they took us in teams of 4. I went in the first group and thought it was funny hearing the group behind us screaming at the stuff we passed in the 10 minute delay between us. The Zombie Shoot was god awful but gratefully the bar was also on the premises. Haunted Walk, Zombie Shoot, and beers with friends… good times!!!

I went to this place on 10/24, the same day I found out about the three really bad reviews on Unilocal.I gave this place the benefit of the doubt, but now this will be the fourth really bad review. My ticket was $ 14 as half of a Groupon pair of walk & shoot tickets. The zombie shoot was absolutely nothing like I imagined. I thought we’d be walking around and getting ‘attacked’ by zombies that we would shoot with paintballs. In reality, the ‘zombie’ was a guy dressed up in an outfit and a mask with some paintball protection, walking back and forth in a paintball shooting range pretty predictably. That was only fun because it was my first time shooting a paintball, and once I learned how to aim my weapon properly, I scored a pretty good number of headshots. But I only had 50 shots and they were done in about two minutes. The haunted walk did scare me, and it did last about 15 minutes. I definitely liked that more than the shoot. But $ 14 for less than 20 minutes of entertainment? Ripoff. I’ve had hours of Halloween entertainment for the same amount of money. Plus it took me 1 hr, 45 min to get to this place from the Philly suburbs, driving through traffic. And it took me an hour to drive back. So this place wasn’t worth it to me. At best, locals will dig this for a quick Halloween fix, followed by some food and drinks at the local restaurant which I did enjoy. But I don’t see how this place can get more than two stars.

I can’t speak for the Walk but we did the Zombie shoot on a Groupon. As the other reviewers said, it was a total waste of time. I would have been really upset if I paid the full $ 15 per person. It literally did last 5 minutes. They didn’t even fill the hopper up with paintballs. I would estimate maybe 30 shots. There is one zombie who barely moves back and forth as your target. It was pretty bad. We decided to go inside to grab a drink and something to eat. It was extremely busy due to the live band. Table service sucked. But that’s for another review…

Purchased the combo zombie shoot and haunted walk thru Groupon for $ 14 pp b/c it sounded like it would be fun. All I can say is that I’m glad I didn’t pay the full regular price of $ 30 pp b/c I don’t even feel like I got my $ 14 dollars worth. As the previous reviewer stated the zombie shoot is totally lame and I won’t waste any more time trashing it further. The haunted walk was fair, but frankly it didn’t even scare the group of 4 young teen girls we had w/us. This is the demographic that makes doing haunted houses or walks so much fun, but if you can’t scare them and make them scream, then your haunted attraction simply isn’t that good. In summary– don’t waste your time or money on this attraction.

I bought the Haunted Walk and Zombie shoot package, which included both the walk and the shoot, along with pizza, wings and soda. Overall, I though the walk and shoot were pretty disappointing. The zombie walk lasted about 15 minutes, and the shoot lasted about 5. The«Zombie» shoot, wasn’t really much of a zombie shoot. Basically you stand behind a range and shoot one guy, who’s wearing black protective vests and a mask. I don’t blame the guy of course for being covered, I would want to if I had that job, but the main issue I had is the website /marketing did not make it clear that you’d be shooting one zombie, while standing behind a shooting range. Definitely not what I think of when I think of a zombie shoot. Also, someone in my group called a head of time and asked how long the zombie shoot lasted. over the phone they said you could just keep playing until you wanted to stop. This was not true, we were given a paintball gun and a small hopper filled with paintballs, when our hopper ran out, which was about 5 minutes, the game was over. The woman said we could purchase more for $ 5 a person, but. no thanks. The honest truth, the«Zombie Shoot», felt more like one of those shooting games you play at fairs where you’re given a gun and need to shoot a moving target. The whole thing was very disappointing. The zombie walk was also disappointingly short, some members of my group are younger and were yelling at the actors that they weren’t scared. This caused some of them to fall out of character, which I understand sort of. these guys typically like groups that are more scared, however, I still think they should have kept in character. My biggest issue was with the zombie shoot, but both were short and felt mislead. The only reason I gave two stars instead of one, was because it came with food and the pizza was actually amazing. I wish this place was closer to me, because I would get pizza from this place more often.
