    This was our first year going to Reapers Realm and it was great!  We went opening weekend, so it wasn't too crowded (we still waited about an hour in line, but they separated groups nicely, so we never ran into anyone else and vice versa...so it was worth it)  First of all, this haunted house was nice and LONG!  It went on and on, which was great!  Very creative scenes, fun slide, woods was entertaining, etc.  To the ladies- one piece of advice- wear comfortable shoes!  There are places where the floor boards move in different directions, and heels will NOT work too well...gym shoes all the way!  
    Anyhow, you could easily make an entire evening out of this place, as they have food, carnival rides, games, and 3 different haunted attractions---I would definitely recommend!

    My fiance and I paid $70 for us to go to all three attractions, Mansion, Hell Hole and the Haunted Woods. We also drove an hour from the Chicago burbs. NOT worth it at all. The actors were too young and didn't take it as seriously as they should have. We could see them standing there talking and we'd catch them off guard. The scare was lost. They let too many people in at once. Again losing the scare. The costumes and make up, terrible. You can tell that no effort was put into any of it. Not enough at least. The rooms were cool, creative but I found myself sauntering from room to room because it was far from scary. Too long between rooms. Hell Hole is crap. A lazer obstacle course and a mirror maze with people in it telling you where to go. Haunted Woods shouldn't even be there. There were two characters within it. Bad. Would never go again. It took less than 30 minutes to get through all three attractions. Save your money and your time. Go to Statesville.

    This place is almost change your underpants scary and I'm not just talkin about the carnies that roam the place. You will be disoriented, exhausted and entertained when you experience Reaper's Realm.  For only 20 (yes TWENTY) bucks you get THREE haunted attractions, the Mansion, the 3-D Nightmare Circus and the Haunted Reaper's Woods, such a deal! I wouldn't bother with the free carnival ride included with the price because as a friend of mine says, "I wouldn't want to ride anything that can be put up and taken down in less than an hour".

    A cheap way to get your scare on, and afterwards you can lose the money you have left by gambling it away at the nearby riverboat casinoes ;).

    this place was great! it'll scare you as long as there isn't a group right in front of you. we caught up to a group so we seen what the actors was doing to them so the shock value was gone.... but we had fun

    I've been going to this haunted house for several years now.  I always have a ton of fun with friends and the displays/set up is pretty well done and awesome.  It takes me a good 45-1:00hr to get through it, but I always pay for everything including the woods.  I would rate it a 7/10 on the scary factor, but a 10/10 on the fun factor :)  The only reason I took one star off was because the woods aren't really worth the extra money.  I agree with the previous user that it was more like an afterthought.   Helpful tip: Wear gym shoes people!!

    They do have some rides/food outside, and this is always amusing.

    This is probably one of best haunted houses I've been to,  we try to come here every year!! There is usually a wait but it's worth it. I really get a kick
    of it. My daughter loves it too.

    Saturday evening we decided make the trek just over the border to Reapers Realm--and I'm glad we did!  We got there around 8:00pm, and the General Admission line, to get in, was already 2-2 1/2 hrs, an employee said (That's the $20.00 per person line).  OR you can instead pay $30.00 per person for "VIP," and you get to, pretty much, skip to the front of the line.  To me, time is money, so we did that, and we waited less than 10 minutes.  It is definitely worth the extra $10 per person.

    The Haunted Mansion took a total of about 45 minutes to get through. It was very good! And scary! Even my boyfriend got scared a couple of times, so I knew it wasn't just me.

    After the mansion, you go through Reapers Woods. To me, it wasn't that great (Hence, one star off). It seemed more like an afterthought.

    But the Mansion was great. I would definitely go back!

    By far, the scariest haunted house that I've found to date.  I love going to this haunted house late at night.  They don't recommend it for kids.

    Wow!  I was totally skeeeered the entire time I was in that place-which was quite a while.  Definitely worth the extra $10 to skip the line.  We didn't even wait a minute to get the bejeezus scared out of us :)

    reapers realm is good times.  the entire house is about 30 minutes or so, if not a bit longer.  definitely something fun to do around halloween.  location is pretty creepy itself, and the indiana people watching is entertaining too.  oh, and def pay the extra to pass the line.
