What a night. The fam and I visited Kersey Valley for the second year straight. What was unique about this year well let's say everything. This year 2025 Halloween night and our experience was great. This place never seems to amaze me from the themes, scenery, characters, scares and screams. We had a ball and it was even better to see my son scared outta his mind and o yeah let's not forget the new sets. ICONS is and always will be the best part. 10/10

Having just moved from LA, I honestly didn’t think anything could rival Universal’s Horror Nights… but Kersey Valley’s Spookywoods proved me dead wrong. From the first scream to the last shadowy corridor, this place is a horror lover’s dream. The actors were terrifyingly good, the sets were cinematic-level spooky, and the way the experience flows — one haunted realm bleeding into the next — keeps your adrenaline pumping the entire time. No endless lines, no breaking the illusion… just pure, pulse-racing fun from start to finish.
Consider me haunted — in the best way possible. We’ll definitely be back next year for another round of beautifully orchestrated nightmares. 🕸️🖤

They're considered one of the best haunted attractions in the nation for a reason. World-class filmic sets, great scares, and plenty of fun for the whole family. A must-visit for your Halloween season, put together by people who care. Season 41 was probably their best yet. Immersive and interactive, a true rollercoaster of an experience with lovely ebbs and flows and a nightmarish climax as you enter what is typically the woods portion. Thematic transitions were seamless, and they blended beautifully into a cohesive experience. They've been around for 41 years for a reason: they get better and better with each one.
