Reviews By Year

An all night experience.

I personally wouldn't bring a kid under 10. The hayride is a good way to dip your feet first. If that's too scary then do not proceed. Take my kids every year. It's very popular and the lines get long so show up when it opens. 9/10.

Best Haunted Hayride & House around

VERIFIED

I love all the work and detail they put into this place. It’s amazing to go through just looking at everything even without the actors. The actors make it come alive and fun. I’ve been coming to this place every year for the last 10 years and still enjoying it.

This was amazing! Something around each corner. Very interactive, entertaining, and fun! Great experience. My grandsons first haunted experience, glad it was Deom Acres. Prices are great. Good family fun.

Amazing

VERIFIED

I've only been on one hayride before, but this was an amazing experience. The ride was truly interactive and thrilling. I went with my friend and her family, her cousin was really scared, and one of the cast members tried to comfort him. The prices for everything were really reasonable, and the quality was really good. I was in the corner at the entrance for the hayride, but i was kinda ignored except for the classic ankle grabbing. It was scary, just not for me

Halloween scare

The best part of the haunted house is jojo . We always go every year for the past three years even with Covid.This year open night 2021, thank you Joe Joe you always do a great show and we enjoyed your Song that you sang to Matt 🎶. The Hey ride is really good ,you guys put on a good show you have a lot of new props. This year the jail Break wasn’t that exciting. I think we’d seen one actor Doing all the scenes. I’m sure it because no one what to work. You should give the other little houses in with the Package deal. Price went up and having them included would be great. Thank you have a great Halloween

Miracle On 34th Street by Joy Messerschmidt

VERIFIED

Dear Halloween,

I flipped the movie series that I'm doing as a director from "Happy Halloween, Walk This Way"
to "Miracle on 34th Street" into a Christmas movies.
I did it for my true Love to falling in Love with me
as an opposite similar with Christmas. I hope you understand Dad. That sometimes somebody else has to win. I am still Slytherin but transferred to Harvard University and pulled a family christmas.
You have to admit that Halloween gets very crazy, sinful, all weirdos are accepted, the colors are dark and ugly; but Christmas is still new and wife like.

Love,

Hayride/Escape Room

VERIFIED

A group of us who had never really been to something like this decided to go just to see what it's like. We went on the hayride and the guy was from New Orleans which is pretty cool. However, if you're looking for a purely scary experience, this wouldn't be it. This is however very entertaining and there are a few figures who jump on your tractor.

They have two escape rooms and they're not scary but the one we did was a bit confusing and so we left without really understanding what we were supposed to do.

Overall it was a cute place, we saw some constellations on the way there.

The other attractions might be more scary but we can't comment on those because we didn't do them.

We drove up from fort drum to see this awesome event. We chose to buy tickets online and do the hay ride, demon den and jail break. I brought my teen age daughter and her friends one was so scared she screamed and said I pissed I pissed myself we were laughing so hard. Best attraction we’ve been to in awhile. Well worth every penny. Make sure to dress warm with old shoes. There’s a big fire and even some delicious food. Don’t forget to grab a souvenir as well. They have some awesome shirts, hoodies and masks. We will definitely be coming back next year!!

Simply Amazing!

We travel ALL over the east coast during haunt season. This place is outstanding. The attention to detail and 'flow' of the houses is great! Actors on point and everything just 'made sense'. Only suggestion would be parking got a bit tight. It was difficult to back out. And the soldier on the hayride is a bit unnecessary. Anyone with PTSD would have been done. In my opinion soldiers are not 'scary' and in haunt environment can be quite triggering. But seriously??? That's it!!! Great job! Someone LOVES what they're doing and it shows!

This place is in the middle of nowhere but that is exactly why this place is awesome. Hayride is great (xmas anyone?). The haunted house goes on and on and is creepy. Prison escape is killer. Great fun and great price!!

No better way to spend a evening

VERIFIED

The time and effort that must have been put into this place shines thru the minute you first see it. Everything is first class, from the sets, props, even the food is great,, the actors what you to have a good time, and the fire pit is a great spot to end your evening after taking in everything this place has to offer....

Jail Break

VERIFIED

Never been handcuffed, ill tell you that was automatically scary to me , not being able to freely move my arms. And when we exited the house and zig zagged the fences with the clowns in every corner, i almost peed myself ! Clowns are my worst fear, my friend almost used the emergency exit! ??

Mom took a 12, 16 and 17 year old

My daughters loved it. I screamed more than any of them. It is well worth it to buy the fast Express, especially if you are driving far. The lines weren't really long but it would take at least an hour longer to go on all 4 features The bonfire was great and the atmosphere was perfect. Just wish they had real bathrooms! Thanks for the great time!

Best Haunted Experience Possible

Hands down without a doubt the best haunted experience you can have. Its better than anything we imagined possible! I'm not even into this type of thing but our whole family enjoyed this a lot. We had a truly terrifying experience. This is a must see. The kids want to do it again.

Worth the Money

Great way to spend an evening. This is one of the best haunts and was quite worth all the money with four attractions. The hayride through the dark forest was thrilling. The scenes were bone chilling and witches and torture scenes were hair raising. The clown room in the hayride was funny. It was well executed and the actors had portrayed a superlative performance. Don’t miss this.

Had A Blast

VERIFIED

Had a blast at Demon Acres. We were a group of five friends and it was our first time. We did all the four attractions. They did a neat job. All attractions were equally enjoyable. Insane asylum auditory was very unique and different from the rest of the haunts elsewhere. Jail break was scary and fun to run away from the notorious criminals. Kudos to all the actors who made this an unforgettable event. Their makeup and costumes were detailed and suited the theme. You must experience it at least once.

AWESOME!!!!!!!

Loved it. Was so scary and so original. So awesome. Will go again every SINGLE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!

Too terrifying!!!

Demon Acres has had a hayride that was for families. But they have really built a terrifying ride. We were not expecting such and extreme attraction. The haunted hayride has creepy woods, amazing sets, and terrifying actors! This is not for the week.

Also, Demon Acres has a new haunted house. It has hollywood style sets and extreme scares.

Demon Acres without a doubt has the best scares I have ever seen and for such a small price you cant beat it. The house is not for kids! They are ranked number 1 for a reason!
