Nightmare Hallow Scream Park

This place is more expensive than others nearby and it is so lame! It was a waste of time and money. Cheap layout, cheap decorations(a lot of robotic or mechanical things), poor costumes, not many people working the attractions either. I will not return here. - Very disappointed. Save your money and drive a bit farther north for a better time.They say they take the last people in at 10 and they will make sure you see all of the attractions. Not entirely true. The workers are in such a hurry to get out of there that they pack up early and are ready to get the heck out of there!! They don't like it either!

It wouldn't piss me off so much if they didn't charge so much and advertised what it was "Spooky fun for the whole family" and not this "Scariest Halloween Atrraction!" This place is NOT a fun time for a group of adults. It's just lame and sparse and not scary. I also have a problem with all of their FAKE reviews. I'm 100% convinced they have their employees and friends all write reviews because they are all single review accounts, they all say the same exact thing and the score should just not logically be as high as it is on Google reviews. What's also shady is that they changed their Facebook page category so nobody can review it anymore.I felt completely ripped off coming here. I've gone to just about every haunt in the Twin Cities and this comes rock bottom on my list. The line to get in is disorganized, the hayride was just darkness with little shacks...not much to see, and the "haunted house" was a quick 2 minutes through a horse stable with nothing in it and maybe 3 actors. The common area was decorated like someone's front yard and most of the decorations weren't even turned on.If you are in this area, I would recommend The Dead End Hayride just a short drive away but honestly ANY haunt is better than this one and I mean ANY. Don't make the mistake I did coming here.

Great concept, but no here has the managerial skills to run this place. There were hundreds of people in line, but there were only 2 people selling tickets. Unreal. We complained about the lag time but 2 other ladies just standing around doing nothing said "oh, we're used to it!" And I said "We're not." They're clearly inept throughout this entire facility. At the paintball zombie line up, there's no one there so you don't know if you're in the right spot, or if they're doing the hunt or what! When you get on, here's their announcement:"Don't shoot guns across the other guns or they'll break. Everyone sit down while the tractor is moving. If you need more paint balls we sell them."In our group of 8, we had no idea how many paint balls or how long the ride was to manage our usage. Only when we were done did we find out there were 5 scenes with 100 paint balls to use. On top of that, most guns didn't illuminate the balls so you can't tell if you're shooting and if you are, you can't tell where you're hitting. Overall, the lack of management and organization ruins this experience. Hard to believe they are still in business.

I went there with my family last night, it was a little scary for my younger ones they are 2, and they accommodated us pretty well, they walked us through so that the little ones wouldn't get scared as much, and all the staff there were super nice and very helpful, they could use more staff and more ghouls, and maybe expand the haunted house a bit, my kids really loved the place, especially the hay ride it was looong..

If there was an option to give this place zero stars I would. The haunted house was okay, but the hayride and zombie hunt were not worth the money. And we went on the first weekend and by 8:30 they were out of apple cider and hot chocolate. The hours are 7-11pm!We also had issues with ordering the tickets online. Will definitely not go back to this place or recommend it to our friends.

I've been to this park last year for the haunted house and hayride, so I knew what to expect. This years experience was worse then the last.We bought our tickets online for the 7pm zombie hunt. Picturing "zombies " walking through a field that you would be able to shoot.When you get to the entrance, there is no hint that there should be more than one line. After waiting for 15 min, a girl separated the line into 3. The people who bought the tickets online were still waiting a good 10 min after the people who had not bought their tickets were allowed to do so and entered the park. When asked what the hold up was, our line finally was allowed in an hour after our 7pm ticket time.There was no signage instructing where the line for the hunt was. Once we found that, we waited another 30min waiting. One trailer was cleaned, guns reloaded, then left with out any passengers. Another trailer arrived,was cleaned, guns reloaded, and the attendant miscounted the available seats for our group. so we waited for yet another trailer, another 15 min. There was no spiel about how long the ride was, or how the ride went. Not knowing anything, I conserved my paint balls, not wanting to use them up by the first half of the ride. There was 3-4 stations that I remember that was mostly cars and chintzy Halloween decorations. The "zombies " were few and far between, most ducking behind trees or int cars after 2-3 seconds. A few staying behind items completely. I understand getting sick of being shot at repeatedly, but they did sign up and are being paid for this. If they had more people, or if the event was set up differently, people would not be over shot.There was also an issue worth the guns. The paint balls were not lighting up, so you couldn't see where you were shooting.Suddenly, the o2 line that was connected to each gun was shut off. I figured that they were conserving it until another section down the trail. I thought that since most of us still had half our paintballs, there was no way this was done. It was. Apparently only some knew the ride was coming to an end when someone asked to buy more balls and was told "Don't bother, we're almost done". No announcement at all. The ride itself was less then 15 min.Glad we spent all that money to stand in line. A few of us were joking that we should go out there with our own paintball guns and shoot at the zombies whenever a trailer full of people arrive, get our money's worth.Don't waste your money or your time.

I had low expectations before attending the Hallow Scream Park. So long as you have low expectations, you will not be disappointed. (You will still be unimpressed, however.)We had 8 o'clock tickets for the new "Zombie Hunt", however it was 45 minutes before the trailer started moving, with absolutely no communication. This was extremely unprofessional. On top of that, a friend's paintball gun didn't even work. Once we got moving we were shuttled to a nearby dirt road, where we were invited to pelt high schoolers/homeless men/ne'er-do-wells by glow-in-the-dark paintballs. This was very conflicting for me. Here I was, waiting 45 minutes to perform the zombie hunt, however I had to shoot completely indefensible actual humans. I refrained from shooting them, opting instead to fire blindly towards Runnin' Aces. It was a very weird and surreal experience, but not worth the price tag.The hayride and haunted house were OK. All told, this was not worth the $35 asking price. The staff really needs some additional organizational skills. More communication would be great.If you've ever wanted to hunt humans for sport, I recommend going to the Zombie Hunt, as I do not expect this to return next year.

My halloween experience was memorable at Nightmare Hallow Scream Park. The hunted houses, trail and camping was exciting! My friends and I will definitely go again in 2017.

Good times. Second year in a row. The hayride is super fun and really long. Longest in the Twin Cities. This place is scary but not too scary that you cant bring kids. I would recommend kids 12 and older who like haunted houses would like this place. I also thought it was really fun that they had live bands/music!! Really awesome!!!

This is a great haunted hayride if you have young children who scare easily and can't handle an intense haunted hayride. There are lots of props and decorations on the hayride, so there's plenty to see. But it's a hayride, it's hard to make them scary, and there's not much that is clever or innovative about how they attempt to scare you during the hayride. The haunted house has some good characters/actors in it, and there are a few good scares in it, but it's not enough to make it a memorable experience. If I could give this attraction 1.5 stars, I would, but I can't do 1/2 stars, so I have to give it a 1.2013 UPDATE: I was revisiting all of my reviews and I noticed that all 12 of the "filtered" reviews for NHSP are from people who have only done 1 or 2 reviews on Yelp. Yet they all gave 'em 5 stars, with the exception of one four-star review. And notice the dates they were posted, many came in the same 7-10 day period in 2012. If that doesn't smell suspicious to you, then go ahead and throw your money away. NHSP is a joke and they're trying to hide that fact by shill reviews.
