Being forced into a group made it a complete waste of money. The people in front of me had the actors jumping out at them while I just got to watch them retreat to corners and behind walls/mirrors/windows. I even said something to an employee who just said stick with your group. Being in a group completely ruined the entire experience!! Did not get scared once!!!The decorations were good which is why I gave it a 2 because of the setup!! Would not waste my money again!!

Went with a small group and we had a lot of fun! The line took a little bit but we expected it since we had general line tickets and other people had fast passes.Other than that, though, it was a ton of fun. The atmosphere was amazing and the scares were pretty good! Overall would recommend.

Fear Columbus was a good time! They had very well decorated rooms, there was a lot of creativity and planning that has gone into this. Plenty of sensory distorting sounds and lights to make the experience even more disorienting and intense. The actors were committed to their roles, adding to the unsettling atmosphere with unexpected jump scares and eerie performances. The pacing was disappointing, you would catch up to the group in front and you could see the scares coming. Definitely worth checking out for fans of horror and Halloween fun!

2 hours waiting in line when making a reservation is ridiculous. Not worth the expense or the time.

We went to Fear Columbus' Krampus event, not the regular Halloween house. That being said, the actual house itself is great. You can tell the actors are really invested, and there's enough of them so everyone in your group gets scared (not just the people in front). I've never been to the Halloween version, but certain areas of this one felt very Christmasy whilst others felt more generic, so I'm not sure how much they changed everything. I thought that it might be based off the movie Krampus, but it seemed more general than that. However, the experience was very long and worth the money. Not too terrifying but enough to make you scream!With that, the line is terribly long, and I would HIGHLY recommend getting the fast pass if you can afford it. We waited for at least a couple hours for 30 minutes, and while we really enjoyed the experience, it was cold and rainy even inside. However, I did really enjoy how they employed scare actors to walk around the lines. We got a real hoot out of them! Nice touch!

I will first start off positive... the sets and haunts are actually really amazing! The plaza/midway looks better every year... You can tell they put the time and energy into making their haunt sparkle.... -the attention to detail with the dressing rooms of the clown house were top notch!! (Yet, WHERE WERE THE CLOWNS??!!? They had like these demon creatures popping out of the walls, made no sense!)With that being said... I have been to this haunt every year since 2019, always with a different group of people. They claimed they added 2 new haunts this year, which they kinda did... although that meant they scaled back on the previous houses to "add" a third one. So the houses were a lot shorter than I remember. They have these dummy animatronics in the corner of SO MANY ROOMS that jump at you. Cool. They lack actors, they lack dialogue. My friends and I this year basically walked through the haunts without being startled or scared, because there were barely any actors to do so. When there are actors they jump at you and say stuff like "rawr" and "boo" (maybe not those exact words, but you catch my drift).. As I said before, the sets are great, but I didn't pay $30 to walk through a fun house with little action. I went on September 21st, for the 9pm slot. It wasn't busy... but why as a group of 3 were we being shoveled in with 5 other people, while continuously running into the group they had sent seconds before us? It wasn't busy enough for that. It really takes the scare factor away. I honestly feel like I've wasted money this year. Columbus is already lacking in haunted attractions, especially this year with Zombiezi Bay not returning. Why not make this one great?! We basically have Fear and Haunted Hoochie. I've worked in a haunted house off and on since I was 3 years old, I've been a part of it all. I am highly disappointed this year & I wish I wasn't. I'll try once more either this year or next, but after that, if I don't see some improvements, I won't be returning.

We went last night for the first time. Purchased regular priced tickets for 7:30 and got there around 7:20. There was maybe a max of 200 people in line in front of us and we didn't get into the haunt until 9:30. The way they handled the fast pass line ($10 more a ticket) vs the regular priced tickets was absolutely ridiculous. They did not let one person from the regular priced ticket line go in for probably the first 45 minutes we were there. It got to the point where people were actually clapping when people were allowed in from the regular line. I'm sure their intent is to entice people to pay $10 more a ticket, but from our experience I'd recommend just going to the other Christmas themed haunted house in Columbus. Outside of the initial lines to get in, the haunt is essentially the same as the fall one with a few lights hung up. I also don't know how this can be marketed as 2 separate attractions unless you consider waiting in line one of them.*** They have reported this review to Yelp for a "conflict of interest". Sorry but my only conflict of interest is giving you a dime of my money. I think all factors combined kind of gives you an idea of how they do business here. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT GIVING WHOEVER RUNS THIS PLACE A DIME OF YOUR MONEY. There are other options available to you in the Central Ohio area where you won't have to experience what we did.

I absolutely loved the Krampus event! People want to complain about lines but no problem here. I've been to haunts with short lines and well they were horrible hence smaller crowd fare. It was themed beyond imagine with snow falling, scents and great jump scares. I didn't want to leave ! Even the actors in line were friendly and allowed for many photo ops. The fire works, food trucks and games added an extra bonus! The only thing I wished was that I walked slower as it was so much to look at! Highly recommend and take your time!

The haunted house was decorated awesome! Actors great make-up. They need to get their game down....allow too many in at a time/too close together. Should alternate when to jump at the group instead of always jumping at the first person. Once they hit their rhythm it will be REALLY great!
