| - My husband & I took my 14 year old sister here Halloween night of '09. To start off, my sis & I had to use the bathroom (us girls have little bladders!)......there were porta-potties. I know from previous experiences that porta-potties aren't the cleanest things, but these little closets of stench were DISGUSTING. To add to that, there wasn't any toilet paper, so I had to drip dry (ewww) and the one my lil sis used wouldn't lock and some guy opened the door! I had to run over there and stand in front of the door to make sure no one else walked in on her. With the money they charge, you would think that they could at least make sure that the porta-potties had tp and the locks worked!
I'd like to point out that Fear Farm was situated in a dirt field with rocks...meaning girls, be careful of the choice of shoes you wear. Although I did see the predictable array of skanky costumes complete with stripper heels, so if you think you can rock them without busting your azz, then go for it. There was a good mix of people (including a few lone old pervs staring at anything female walking by...yick), but the overwhelming majority were teens.
$19 per person got us in 4 of the venues (you get a punch card that a worker will punch when you enter each one). Be prepared to wait in lines...some had up to a 1/2 hour (or more) wait time. We went through "The Asylum", "Carnevil", and "Apocalypse", but ended up skipping "Chainsaw Mayhem" because my husband was getting annoyed with the characters running noisy chainsaws by his face. The exhibits weren't that scary and for the most part they relied heavily on the old hiding-and-jumping-out-at-you-and screaming-in-your-face routine throughout each place. I thought The Asylum was the most creative/interesting haunted attraction because you had to go through a ton of different rooms and you didn't know where the doors were in some of them. However, I wasn't crazy about a couple of the workers yelling "Wow, you've got huge boobs!" in 3 seperate rooms. One female character even asked what size bra I wore. Can you say inappropriate?
Good news for the hungry......there were food stands similar to what you would see at the State Fair or any other carnival. Beverages, cotton candy, hot pretzels, turkey legs, and funnel cakes were some of the offerings. We split a funnel cake with powdered sugar that was surprisingly scrumptious (YUM!). In addition, there were stalls with face painting, temporary tattoos, and glow-in-the-dark items for sale.
To sum it up......My husband & I most likely won't ever go back, but my sis loved it and had a great time. IMO, Fear Farm is best suited to young teenagers and families with kids ages 8 and up. If you want to get the bejeebers scared out of you I'd suggest looking elsewhere.
