| - I came here last night for a birthday party for one of my sons friends. Let me just say, I am not into haunted houses and zombies that much anymore. When we arrived, the place was packed! The reception area is quite small, so you will be rubbing elbows with strangers. No biggie though. I think check in could be a bit better, but maybe it would have been better if there weren't so many people. I think if employees made announcements that people needed to sign waivers that would be helpful. Or a sign above the counter might be helpful. We finally got checked in and our boys were given a story I believe before entering. They were then allowed four practice shots before being led into the zombie filled course. The parents were allowed to go into the party area. The party area is just a temporary tent with picnic tables, nothing fancy but perfect for a kids party. Next to our party area there was a caged area which held two zombies. They were always playing the part, growling at us and trying to get over the fence. A few times the gate was left open and the zombies entered our party area while the kids were still shooting. It was so much fun watching the parents scream as they ran away from the zombies. I spoke to the manager about doing a school event there and he was very polite, extremely helpful and answered all of my questions. When our kids finally joined us, they were so excited and had a great time! Then near the end of the party, some zombies came into the party area again and let me tell you, it was awesome!! The kids were screaming, parents were screaming, it was such a great time. There were zombies around the wooden fenced areas we had our party at and were putting their hands over the fence. In the party area, the zombies never grabbed at anyone at any time, they just walked around and would growl at people. At the end of the party when we were checking out the pictures, zombies busted into the reception area and they had to be rounded up. Such a great experience all the way up to the end. For entertainment value, two thumbs up. I did make a suggestion to the manager about adding infrared cameras so party guests who don't participate can see some of the action. I think the addition of cameras would put this place over the top.
