"Fun for the kids "

Reviewed May 06, 2019 NEW

Buy your tickets only and save some money. My 10 year old wanted to do this. I was hoping it would have been a little more informative regarding the history during that time. It was more of just actors thing to tell you in a silly/scary way how things may have been. It really has the potential to be amazing if they actually brought in more dark factual history during that era. The kids loved it and so it was a fun memory for them. The ride at the end was just a small drop. Nothing big at all.

"Don't pay extra for the drop ride!!"

Reviewed May 05, 2019 NEW

Over all this was a fun live action show full of interaction with the guests. You are immersed into the show and some lucky guests even become part of it. I would not recommend for small children or people who are truly scared easily. It is a walk through attraction with a large group that is guided by your many different hosts. You travel short distances and then stand or sit depending on the scene. You are entertained by actors and then you move onto the next part of the story. Over all the theming is done well and so are the actor's costumes. Once you make it to the end they give you the option to opt out of the drop ride if your too scared. just fyi I'm almost certain the snoopy drop at Knott's Berry Farm is far more of a drop than this is. with that being said don't pay extra for the ride. If it is included go ahead and do it as it has some theming to it but it is literally a real letdown, no pun intended.

"Okay 🤷🏼‍♂️"

Reviewed April 29, 2019 NEW

It was okay, we went on a Sunday night. Second to last show, the actors definitely wanted to go home. Bad actors, story lines weren’t good at all. I did this in Amsterdam it was almost identical, just focused around San Francisco history. The drop at the end was so lame, I was expecting more of a tower of terror drop or something scarier.. nothing but darkness. Plus, the girl getting us ready to take the drop had literally the worst body Oder. It’s just okay, I wouldn’t recommend spending money here with the actors we got. 👎🏼

"Scary fun!"

This is a great show that I’ve attended with people of all ages. It’s a little scary, but informative, entertaining, and funny. They have also added a drop ride at the end. Unfortunately the boat ride wasn’t working the last time we went, but hopefully they’ll fix it before you go! Swing by In ‘n Out and Krispy Kreme doughnuts on your way out :-)

Fun time. My teams did not think it was scary at all. Quite expensive as a walk in. it was only worth it because we packaged it with Madame Tussauds- the online price makes it ok.
