Okay, there was seating this year . Tables and chairs down at one end of the main area.
We went when it opened at 5 on Friday as the grandkids were in town. The line to get into parking was about a 10 minute wait for no apparent reason other than the parking attendants didn't know what they were doing. We had to walk about 200 yards to get to the main gate. However since we arrived early there were no lines to get in or to purchase tickets. OVERPRICED!!! $10 for each adult with no type of discount and $5 for our 4 yr old. Total of $35 to get in! For what? To watch some balloons getting blown up? We went to the face painting booth right away. Third in line and it took 15 minutes to get in. Paid another $10 for a face paint. The lady was good but seriously needed help as there were at least another 15 kids in line. Good luck with that. We found a couple of vendors giving candy out like tootsie rolls which was okay but no balloons giving out candy despite the people at the ticket booth telling my grandchild to be sure and get his candy at 5:45 when they were scheduled to start. So we went to the bouncy house area another 200 yard walk across gravel, etc. Each house required more tickets each costing $1 per ticket. Most required two tickets so I figured it was $2 for about 20 seconds worth of slide. A complete rip off! To keep our grandchild happy we bought $6 worth which occupied him for about 10 minutes including the decision time and time to move between the houses. We decided not to eat as most of the food Was in the $10 range like chicken fingers & fries. Drinks were another $3-4. We left at 6:45 and noticed one balloon giving out candy by that time but there must have been 200 kids in line. So for about 1 1/2 hours of wandering around we spent $51 and got about 5 pieces of candy. So I'm not sure what the draw is except maybe later if they had entertainment for the older kids and adults as they had a huge stage set up. Bottom line, if you're looking for a place to have you're younger kids trick or treat and enjoy themselves look elsewhere. We sure as heck won't ever go back.
