| - I'd venture for any one of the reviews who rated this place low to share where a better haunted house is in Phoenix. If it does exist, I haven't found it. AZ Scream Park? Are you kidding? That place is a joke. I went to the Nest a couple years ago when it was way out on the west side, and it was all outdoors, and not very good to be honest. This one at Rawhide is worlds better than the old one.
It is divided in the 3 different sections basically, and I thought they were all done really well. The 3D section is a hoot...like being stuck on a bad trip after taking some psychedelics, including colorful "little people" running by you (scary lol). After the colorful 3D trip...you turn in the 3D goggles and enter a pitch black maze. Not a lot actually happens in here, but the shear fact that you literally cannot see a thing is what the point is here. They do have people in there though, and occasionally as you are feeling your way through, you feel a human...kinda creepy. After the black maze you enter a house portion with kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms etc. and in my opinion really well done costumes/sets. At the end there is a bloody texas chainsaw massacre type mess, complete with a serial killer with a chainsaw standing at the exit of the room. He will put it in your face if you show any sign of fear lol.
All in all, for one of the first times I actually felt like the money I spent was worth it. Haunted houses just by nature can be a little cheesy but I truly thought The Nest was really well done. Suggest you go!
Only negative I can think of and its not really their fault...is the frickin horrible dirt parking lot. Leaving after midnight, its impossible to find your way out, as there is literally a dust storm that you cannot see anything.
