Ranch of Horror

We bought the 3 pack for ranch of horror in chowchilla . The only attraction we liked was the zombie paintball contagion, however there were only like 20 "zombies " to shoot at . It would have been more fun if there was at least 100 more zombies . The haunted hayride was pretty terrible, The acting was not great and I didn't really understand what was going on . We didn't even bother going to haunted house . It was a waste of money because we spent $167 on all 3 attractions.

Everything! From first communication, we were confused if this was located in Turlock or Chowchilla. Next, the two nasty porta potties that were filthy and up on a trailer, difficult to go into. Haunted hayride was lame, actors talking to each other higher on radios to tell each other they did things wrong. Mostly children actors. Dystopia was terribly dirty with nothing scary. Waste of time and money.

Waste of money. Overpriced and not scary at all. It was all kids working there and it felt very cheap to me

I do not see any other reviews for the 2024 event in Chowchilla. Absolutely a waste of time. we drove 2 1/2 hours and decided to get the fast pass to miss the lines. what lines? there was not one person in line for the haunted Dystopia, I believe the name was. the hayride was even worse. not scary at all. we spent 35.00 each for the worse haunted theme park we have ever been to. We usually go to Raisin Hell an hour up the road, but was limited on time when we had to return home. My friends and family that I was with, said that I will never live it down that I chose this. Incredibly dusty. I cannot say enough as to how bad it was.

Go somewhere else.Place was low quality and definitely not worth the money.Wish I spent my night and money at a better haunted house location.P.S the paintball guns don't work.

Needs work is the nicest description I can give of this attraction. On a whim we agreed to join my friend and her son and in all there were 13 of us. Gates opened at 7 pm but we weren't let in till close to 7:30. Then we had to stand in another line with our pre-purchased passes to get the tickets for each attraction. We had purchased our "VIP" passes from Costco which cost $30 for 2 people. It gave us entry to the House of Dystopia and the haunted hayride and included a fast pass which was kind of useless. I really couldn't tell if we got on anything faster because we still had to wait in line quite awhile, especially for the hayride since they only had one tractor running. Bottom line-both attractions were weak and lame. They had very limited food options and what they did have was really pricey which I fully expected for this type of place. The best thing about the experience was the outdoor movie they were showing (Casper) for free and real bathrooms. I would not return.

My fiance and I came here last year, and enjoyed the experience very much. The attractions we did do, we also enjoyed very much.This year? The only horrors are the horror of lines, the horror of complete disorganization, and the horror of lackluster haunts. First we get there early, to avoid lines. well it turns out they had some last minute fire drill? and no one could go in. Fine, things happen. But, even though we had come 15 mins early, and several people were there even earlier, they made us form a line against the fence where we waited for 20-30 mins past 7, and several people who had just arrived literally just walked up to the gate and waited there, and also went in ahead of so many of us that had been there 30+ minutes already. Ok, not cool, but whatever. The line to get tickets, even presale tickets, was very long and moved very slow, even though we had pretty decent position. To add to this, the new layout makes everything VERY cramped, and you have attractions on both sides of the line. So people had to keep walking thru the lines to get place to place. Very little room and bad layout compared to last year, which felt so much more open and easy to get around.Now to the attractions... Wow.. just wow. what happened?? We participated in 3 haunts. Rather, 3 disappointments.Bloody Lullaby. It should be against the law to charge $15 for this. The attraction was very way out of the way, with little to no guidance to exactly WHERE it is. You need to go to the rock wall, and then through the open gate down the paved path to just a small open gate near some bleachers, there you will find both the Bloody Lullaby, and also the ranchers revenge. The problem? once you pass the main gate, theres NO WAY to know where to go after that. We were with another couple and we luckily found it together, after almost getting lost. The "haunt" itself is literally a 20-30 second walk down a sidewalk. A couple screams to be had, but for $15 a ticket? Neither we nor the other couple could believe thats all it was.Haunted Hayride.WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS ONE! Last years was SO GOOD we almost went twice! They claim this years is new and supposedly better?? It wasn't even remotely close to as good as last years. BIG let down to us, especially since we so much enjoyed last years haunted hayride.House of DystopiaLongest line of all, even for Fast Lane people. But lines are OK when the end result is worth it. This may be the ONLY attraction worth spending money on, and even still its lackluster. There's some good scares and screams in here though, especially if you are in front.My fiance and I have decided we will most likely not be attending the Ranch of Horror in the future, but we both hope they eventually get it together to put out a good haunt again.

It was not worth the cost of the tickets. I was looking for something to do for my teen son on Halloween. The outside looks and sounds exciting, but he was done in 5 minutes. He stood in line much longer than the experience lasted.

These guys were awesome. Contagion is a must-I've been in the haunt scene for decades and haven't seen anything like it. Definitely an adrenaline rush!!

New location in Chowchilla is fun! I recommend. Hospitality is amazing! Prices seemed steep at first but do all three attractions you really do get a lot for your money.
