Nightmare at Dos Lagos

This was awesome. Different than most haunted houses or maze. They zombies will try to get you and steal your flag. Each flag is a life so it's like you're trying to survive. Scary and jump scared as well.

Had an amazing time! It was so fun- Better than any maze you'll find at those big amusement parks. We made it just before closing and they were nice enough to squeeze us in. I'm so glad we made it, they definitely did not disappoint!

Let me preface this by saying I have been to all the local haunts and actually participated in haunts myself for a couple years. I say this to underscore that this is not the first haunted experience I have been to, but this is the very first one I have left upset and dissatisfied. We drove from two hours away specifically for this experience and were very disappointed. The maze started off quite fun, even though the zombies are a bit too persistent. The safety video says that you can misdirect or sidestep and zombies, and that they will only take out one in your group. Not true--they will take both of you out and pin you back against a wall where you can't pass or move. There wasn't a single squeaky toy anywhere in the entire maze to distract them, and no extra lives. We each lost all three of our lives within a couple minutes of entering. That's when it actually became less fun because the zombies don't care about you anymore once you have no lives left. So it was just about getting to the exit. Therein lies the problem-- getting out is impossible and annoying. This was supposed to be a 10 minute maze but we were in there for about 40 minutes. You are told to look for the green light--only there are many green lights, and the lights would also shift colors too. You end up going in circles and going through the same areas again and again and seeing the same zombies. We asked the cast members for directions, and this is where we started getting upset--they kept deliberately leading us the wrong way. On a couple occasions the cast members would point one way and then the next time we encountered them they would point the other way.Other customers were experiencing the same frustration we were--we kept running into the same people because no one could find the way out, and we could tell their frustration was mounting as well. I also was not anticipating having to get on my stomach and crawl on my elbows through a tiny tunnel. I'm fairly young but have bad knees from a surgery years ago, and it was brutal on my knees. My pants also caught on a piece of plastic that was sticking out and ripped. After crawling through the same tunnel for the fifth time, I was done. My fiance went on through but I told him I wasn't going through that again and I'd find another way and see him at the exit. I told the next few cast members that I was done and to please show me the exit. You are told before that if you ever want to leave at any point, you make a cross motion with your hands and say "Mercy" and they'll show you to the nearest exit. Much to my surprise, that was not the case, as they still wouldn't point me to the correct exit. I'm sure they could tell I was upset too. I just kept saying I wanted to get out of here. I was sweaty, exhausted, and had stopped having fun about 30 minutes before. Finally someone did point me the correct direction and I got out. My fiance came out a few minutes after me, saying the zombies had still kept leading him the wrong direction and that one had commented on how pissed I seemed. One zombie did realize my fiance was upset and pointed him the right way out as well.We emerged covered in sweat, fake spiderwebs, with ripped pants, and highly irritated. We love haunted houses and look forward to them every year, and couldn't believe the etiquette of the cast. If the cast is going to intentionally lead you astray, then that should be stated in the beginning. That lovely waiver they have you sign states, in pertinent part.... "It is the Releasing Party's right and responsibility to cease participation in the Experience... the SAFE WORD, "MERCY", which may be said AT ANY TIME if Releasing Party would like to cease his or her participation in the Experience." As a paralegal, it's always funny to see companies not abiding by their own legally binding documents. If you're looking for a better haunted experience, try Coffin Creek which is 20 minutes away. That's one of the best ones we've ever been to and you get five experiences for $50.

I would definitely go again next year. So to find parking is a bit difficult but it's very much worth the experience and the maze changes every year.

From the outside you don't necessarily know what you are getting into. There are some creepy displays and flame throwers over the entrance, but once you enter the atrium, it definitely has a creepy yet welcoming vibe. Once you enter the maze however the welcoming portion is gone, and you feel the tension of the experience you've just entered. The Zombie actors are super scary looking and do a good job of stalking the survival participants and making it feel like it is a real life survival scenario. While inside it does not feel like a typical haunted maze like you would find at most theme parks.You go in as a group of your own party not mixed with strangers which is cool. There are others in the maze often times while your group is in there but that adds to the fear factor as you see them screaming as they try to escape as well. (sometimes this leads a zombie right to you, and if they notice you they may direct their attention to you instead). Beware of where you came from and where you are going as you may run into zombie's who you escaped prior in the experience. Just because you passed a zombie earlier in your way through doesn't mean they aren't still hungry to take your lives This is a whole different experience as the actors are also tasked with taking your lives (3 flag football flags on a belt). So not only are they scary as they jump out from all over the place, but they are actually coming for you because you have something they need. With hidden extra lives and other goodies hidden throughout the maze this becomes a strategy game as much as a haunted maze. There is not one way to escape as there are multiple routes you can choose, some good, some lead you right back into the zombies you thought you were escaping.The total experience was heart pounding and exhilarating. Definitely a must try if you're into getting scared and want something different from the Scary Farm or Horror Nights type maze. ALSO WHEN YOU FINISH THE MAZE ITS REALLY ENTERTAINING TO WATCH THE LIVE FOOTAGE OF OTHERS IN THE MAZE. I COULD HAVE WATCHED THAT FOOTAGE FOR HOURS

Super scary, completely immersive. As close to being in the zombie apocalypse as possible. Worth every penny.Be smart and buy the squeaky toys, it might save your life!!

I went with a group friends and it was so much fun! We thought it wasn't going to be all that, but truly we had such a great time. The maze was surprisingly scary and thrilling. We got so scared that we took a wrong turn and ended up doing a 360. Be prepared to walk in the dark. The concept is great and the staff was awesome!

Great experience and incredibly well done. While first impressions may lead you to believe it is just a parking lot maze it is so much more. You need to experience it to truly understand.

If you want to be scared this Halloween check this out. It's a very intense haunted house.

Went in a group of three total and let me tell you it was by far way way better than what was expected. It definitely is not a regular haunted house that you just go through in a line all the way through. No, you are running for your life and it is fantastic. They did a great job. Feels like one of those movies or games and everything it was great because you even have squeaky toys to distract them it was so realistic. The only advice I can give is make sure you wear comfortable shoes and clothes that you don't mind getting ripped or dirty and that you don't mind getting on your hands and knees, wet or nothing because it's a whole experience and it's fantastic.
