Fishstrong Fright Nights Haunted Hayride and Walking Trail Reviews

Email Verified We were petrified!!!

I went to the haunted hayride with my daughter and son-in-law, Kathryn and Gaurav. We were so impressed with the entire event. The staff was very professional, friendly and helpful. The actors put their hearts into their frightful performances. We did not realize that the event was for a non- profit group, that being Fishstrong until I Googled your website. Can you use volunteer help in the future? I am retired and looking for a volunteer project. I live close to the site of the events.

Great family ride or for a date night. Lines can be pretty long the closer to Halloween you get. On Halloween be prepared for a 1 1/2 hour to 2 hour wait in line so I suggest going earlier or right after Halloween. My wife and I take friends every year to this and it's a blast. We also go to the Christmas light Hay Ride too. For the price it's a great deal so take the family out for some festive fun!

If you like being scared, check them out!

Very family friendly and affordable prices. The fact that it is a non-profit is great, so the money goes towards a great cause. It’ll definitely give you a good scare if you like spooky things! The lights, sound effects, and woods really make for the surreal situation to have you mind play tricks on you! I even know some have peed there pants and witnessed it! Something you won’t want to miss.

Great ride for the value

Compared to last year a leaves a small disappointment. This is only the opinion of one person. I thought that last year was better. All in all great ride, great price, great nonprofit cause. Well worth it. The over all attractions for the hayride were better last year. Some of the same ones this year and included different ones this year. The horses were a nice touch.

Email Verified No regrets

My family and I checked this out tonight and we definitely enjoyed it. I am not the kind to scare easily but still they were able to startle me a couple of times. We had to wait in line for long to get in. The carnival games kept us occupied and we had fun there. Hayride was smooth with lots of interactive scenes. It was planned well. Pumpkin patch is always a winner among kids. They loved running around it. The dead trail was haunting. The ambience was perfect with right lighting, sound and other visual effects. Come and you will not regret.

I and GF drove for almost two hours to reach the haunt. The place was amazing with great scares, sets, props and scare actors who knew their job well. The haunted hayride was freaking scary. Lots of startling scares and creepy actors baying for your blood. The darkness compounds to insecurity. She screamed couple of times. We also managed to grab few pumpkins from the patch. Entry fee to the trail was reasonable. I will come again next year.

I loved it. Haunts has always amazed me and this one never ceased to entertain us. I liked the ambience and how the actors portrayed different characters. The dead trail was scary and the hayride enjoyable. The staff was friendly and make you feel like a family. Carnival games and the pumpkin patch kept the kids occupied. It is a family friendly haunt with kids and adults have something exiting for themselves. Give it a try and sure you are not going to be disappointed.

Amazing evening

I and family had an amazing evening at the Fright Nights. It was impossible to anticipate the scares. Special effects and controlled lighting also played a big part is making us insecure in the woods. Actors were professional and they stayed in character throughout. The ticket prices were cheap. Kids also had a great time participating in Carnival games. We all had a great time in the haunt. I recommend this place to all.

Great scares

We drove almost an hour away and it was worth every cent. Kudos to the owners who had put so much effort and time in designing this haunt. Attention to detail was awesome. The haunted hayride had few great scares that drove the daylight out of my BF and me. The set design was creepy and unique. The haunted trail had more intense and well-timed scares. Clever distractions affect your focus, and the terror strikes when you’re least prepared for it. Warning: the actors will touch you, but in the right spirit. It is a nice gesture that the proceedings from the haunt are donated to charity. The staff was helpful. The apple cider was awesome too. I intend to visit this place again with my kids.

Email Verified Scared the daylights out

I and friends had a great time @ Fishstrong. It was obvious that lots of effort, thought and time had been invested in realizing this event. The scenes were detailed and numerous. In both the haunted hayride and walking trail, the actors interacted with the visitors till the very end. The haunt had a good variety of creepy characters. Few of the grotesque characters in the trail scared the daylight out of us. The actors were passionate and professional. They remained in character and never crossed the line.

Did the haunted hayride last year 2017. It was really great! They go all out. Had my 5 year old daughter with me after hearing from friends that it wasn't too scary for kids. WRONG! Definitely not for small kids (as they do warn you ahead of time), but we weren't disappointed in the experience. They do offer a more kid friendly hayride during the day though. Fishstrong Foundation puts on great stuff!

My husband and I did both the hayride and the haunted walk. Both were terrifying, but super fun! The walk however is really intense. Warning: the actors will touch you, but it’s all in good fun! All the proceeds go to charity which is amazing and the volunteers are great! I certainly recommend coming here for a good thrill. They even offered a Christmas hayride last year that my husband and I attended and it was great. The volunteers even passed out apple cider while on the ride. Check this place out!!

Don’t touch them!

It is posted that you are not supposed to touch the actors! With that being said, I saw someone that touched a clown become part of the show! It was great, enjoyed the ride and the atmosphere. The best thing is that the money goes to a non-profit that helps local families.

A BLOODY GOOD TIME

There was character interaction from the lines all the way till we were done. Even Winifred Sanderson showed up to try and steal my kids. We had a blast! I will say that when they say to use parental discretion on letting your kids ride/walk, that you should. The characters do not hold back and you are warned that if you touch their characters there is a chance that they will touch back this is true, so we did not touch them, but one person on our ride did and lets just say the warning is not a joke but everyone had a good time. It was great to learn that this is all done by volunteers to raise money for their foundation and help people that have life altering illnesses. We will absolutely be going back again this year as we have been told that it changes every year!! The walking trail was definitely an in your face scare your socks off attraction but be prepared that after 10 pm they switch to a rated R version so again the parental discretion warning should be considered. Over all though the experience was great, the price was great, and the people were great.

Email Verified The Fishstrong Hayride is Amazing

As I a volunteer for the Fishstrong Hayride every year they surprise me with something new. I usually work concessions and sometimes before the nights over i’ll go for a ride and let me tell you I know the people who are in it & somehow I’m always the one in the middle of the hayride crying like a baby! The foundation makes you feel like a family & what they are doing amazes me.

Terrifying

My husband, son, and I went to this event. My son is 17 and was just sure that “this is gonna be dumb and it’s not gonna scare me at all.” Mr. Not Gonna be Scared at all to me that it was at least a 10 on a 1-10 scary scale. It was terrifying. We LOVED it! I also love that it is going to support a good cause, not just someone trying to make some quick cash. They also ask for student volunteers, which is nice for he kids to get to do something that is not being out partying and acting like general hellions during the Halloween season. My son went back and volunteered as a spook for them and he enjoyed that as well.

Email Verified Very Impressive!!

This attraction featured two scary activities, a haunted hay ride and a haunted walking trail. It was obvious that a lot of effort, thought and time was put into this event. The scenes were detailed and numerous. The characters continually interacted with the groups right to the very last scene. There was a good variety of characters and each one had an amazing amount of energy. The price was very reasonable. I wouldn't recommend this for young children.
