Northern Screams Attractions

We had an amazing time! The wait was long but with the amount of people there it made sense. The haunts were well done and the acting was fantastic. Would definitely go again!

A fun seasonal experience with three separate mazes - Carrefour Carnivale, Gaston's Graves, and The Hostel. Tickets for each maze are 13.00 each, regardless of age. If you purchase tickets to all three mazes the price is discounted to 33.00. (No price discount for only two mazes.)If you only want to visit one maze, make it The Hostel. The waiting line can be quite long (close to an hour) depending on when you visit but The Hostel is the longest maze to go through and it is situated indoors while the other two mazes are quite short and both are outdoors.There are three carnival games that can be played as well but only one attendant coveting all three games. This wasn't really a problem during our visit however as few people seemed interested in playing. The prize selection was dismal, especially given the cost per play. I believe that most people realized that they could simply go to a dollar store and buy the exact items for considerably less.The game booths did add to the overall atmosphere however. I would love to see more games added next year, along with a better selection of prizes. I would also love to see traditional carnival treats like candyfloss and candy apples added as well. There was a concession stand inside but it wasn't well advertised and the lineup of people waiting to enter The Hostel was a real deterrent as it was not very clear that you could enter to purchase concessions without waiting in the hour long line. Better signage and more staff interacting with patrons outside would be an improvement. As would lowering the concession prices.A family of 4 would have to pay $132.00 just to go through the three mazes. Having to pay the high concession prices on top of that was just too much. I overheard several parents telling their children that it was just too expensive. Don't get me wrong, it was a fun but expensive evening. As two adults it was a $100.00 evening for an outing that would have been over in 30 minutes, (including game play) if not for the hour long wait to enter The Hostel maze. I'm glad that I didn't have children with me to cover.I do want to give a shout-out to all of the teenage employees who worked inside the mazes. They really did a great job with their costumes and they really went for it with their characters. I'm sure that they all lost their voices by the end of each evening. I know that my ears were definitely ringing, lol.

The haunted attractions were good. What we didn't understand were the timed tickets to still stand in line for two hours for a 10 minute haunted walk through.Definitely could have been executed better.

It was a fun outing!

Houses were great! But the way some of the staff are treated...

The attractions were well done. The staff at the attractions were great.The main issue we experienced was waiting in a line for 2 hours in the cold when we had timed tickets. There was no signage or staff at the start of the line explaining that you could line up for any attraction and that was just the line up for one. Also that same line was the one where you got tickets if you hadn't prepaid.Poorly managed which is unfortunate because the event has a ton of potential.
