Haunted overload is amazing. Very scary. My sister who’s in her early 40’s peed her pants. The props and art that has gone into this place is breath taking.
Haunted Acres is awesome! Many things to walk through, lots of scares! Plus, they have a great bar and bonfire to chill out at before or after walking through. Which is a huge bonus!
