Let me start off with a Big Thank You to Rosendo he's the Manager, if it wasn't for him this place would of gotten a one star!!! We came here for my nephew's birthday party and my niece.

★★★★★ — Silver, May 2023

I love this place but the pandemic has really hit it hard. Half of the games are turned off. My favorite game, the multi prize crane grab was one of them. The food here is surprisingly good and they will even call your name so you can keep playing while it's cooking.

★★★★☆ — John, Mar 2021

I’ve been coming to Haunted Trails since I was a little kid and now I bring my own kids. I’ve always loved how different everything was from other entertainment places. The spooky haunted theme was always the biggest appeal to me, even as a kid. The go karts, laser tag, and game are my favorite.
