Ripley’s Haunted Adventures

Bruh!!! Scariest Haunted House I ever been to, we had a blast!!! It gives that walking dead vibe!

Ripleys haunted house is ok but it is a bit simple in story well really there is no story. Nightmare haunted house just up the street is much better with a real story and some great scare moments. No one will touch you at nightmare or at Ripleys but they will both creep you out.

Be careful with your children when walking by the place. Some moron employee jumped out and scared my 4 yr old. She ran into the street trying to get get away. We were lucky that it was bumper to bumper traffic. I was holding her hand and she nor any of saw the guy.

Wow! This was one of the scariest haunted houses I’ve been in. It was just my family and I, and it is so dark in some places that you don’t know where you are going at all. It is not necessarily for kids under 11. The employees are great actors. We had fun.

In general, beachside haunted attractions are never as elaborate as their annual Halloween event counterparts. This one definitely fell along those lines. Over the years, almost everything in the house has stopped working, and has never been repaired.
Recently, the house got a very seemingly last-​minute «asylum» theme. Aside from the first room, which had a horrible preshow, the rest of the house put no effort into continuing this theme.
There were maybe three actors in the entire house. You could tell that they had enthusiasm deep down, but they also looked like they were running ragged. Most of all, they should not be running an attraction that has 90% of the special effects out of operation.
All in all, if you’re very desperate for an old-​timey haunted house that’s almost all dark hallways to feel your way through, this might be sufficient enough for you. Haunted house enthusiasts, however, will most likely be very disappointed.

This was the best ! We did the combo w the aquarium. The haunted house is def something. It was funny, spooky, and great ! Loved the experience here. Great staff !

I did get startled several times. It was shorter than what I would have liked, but decent.

I hate haunted houses and the whole idea of being scared. However, my fiancé loves all that kind if stuff so I agreed to go to this one as well as Outbreak, both in the Myrtle Beach area. I feel Outbreak was better and have reviewed them on Unilocal!
While waiting to enter the haunted house, an «actor» wasn’t really in character. He was nice and talked to people in our group. I figured he’d act all creepy and really set up our experience but he didn’t. Once we entered the first actor who set up the rules and whole story behind the haunted house was very good. The 3 floors scared everyone in the group. The scares and scenery were ok but nothing special or unique. I don’t want to ruin anything, so I won’t go into details.
It’s not a bad way to spend some time and it’s probably more worth it to visit this attraction when you plan to combine the ticket price with the aquarium and other Ripley’s attractions.

I threw up in the potted plant after taking the elevator to the top floor… the employees yelled at me…10 out of 10 would go again.

It may have been good, but the people we were paired with kept turning on their cell phone lights. The rating here reflects the situation that the establishment did nothing to enforce its «no lights» rule. Poor management ruins the day.

Lol i was so scared! I feel like the people especially tried hard to scare me bc I scream really loud and get upset so the actors love it,
Lots of fun I love being scared, even the boyfriend jumped a few times although afterwards he won’t admit to that… Hahaha

I highly recommend this place. It was nice seeing a haunted attraction that is open year round. Honestly most haunted things are only open during one time of the year, so to find one that is decently priced is great.
And anyway saying it is too scary for children, it is. Stop taking your kids here, it just honestly ruins the experience for other people.
The actors are actually very good. There was a group of ignorant teenagers trying to make them break character in front of us when we went, and they stayed in character. They were great, and very convincing. It was actually a bit longer then I expected it to be, and overall a good scare.
I would recommend it to anyone down in the area.
Also they offer a good military discount as well.

This was very exciting! It’s so much more fun when you’re with a group of people… the screaming from other patrons makes it a whole lot scarier than it really is. It’s pitch black throughout, except for when one of the special effects decides to jump out at you then you may get a little dim light. Overall, I think it’s worth the money… wasn’t the best haunted house I’ve gone to but they still did an excellent job. I’d go again but not by myself ever! LOL

It was cool, I’ve seen these type of things before and while the props and all was excellent, perhaps, I could be wrong, they may have been a bit short of actors when I visited on the week of the 4^th of July.
I think that you pay like $ 15 per person tho., It’s OK once I guess, I’ll skip it next time around.

This was a pretty cool haunted house! It was alot better (and scarier) than others I have experienced in the past. I would agree with previous reviewers in the fact that it is probably too scary for small children. There were a group of them crying behind us as we were walking through. They were terrified, but you can’t turn around and go back once you are inside… for those of us who are old enough to appreciate it, it’s a good time.

Absolutely wonderful and terrifying. A little pricey.

had a good experience worth the money. The one thing i want to point out is do not buy the $ 2 thing that they sell when you buy a ticket. Its is kind of a light stick that you don’t need. So don’t buy it every thing else is good. I got scared twice which is big deal.

The GOOD:
EXCELLENT Haunted House!
GREAT EFFECTS!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Haunted housed and this one got me good!
We have several excellent haunted houses in KC but Ripley’s has the $$ to make it very theatrical and intense!
The BAD:
Says for ages Six and up, naturally I assumed that is was in the edgier side of Ripley’s oddities. Like Iron maidens, tombstones, a little more gore than the Believe it or not Museum. WRONG! NOT SAFE FOR KIDS!
The VERY UGLY:
My Six year old who LOVES scary movies and oddities was TERRIFIED! I had to keep my cool and rush us through through the to keep him from being more scared than he already was! Pretty sure he is going to need therapy for this.
**and I almost wrote a letter of concern to the manager/​company they need to raise the age to at least 13 (The experience IS that intense)

If you are looking for a good scare then you’ve come to the right place. It doesn’t take much to scare me and they did a good job of it! If your looking for adventure, this is the place to be.

This is a haunted house located on Ocean Boulevard. Before this, I’d never heard of a permanent haunted house, only temporary set ups during Halloween.
Well, I won’t spoil it, but it consists of several actors who stay in character and are pretty rude to you. Right from the beginning, a man tells you to stay with him & that if you fall behind, he will stuff you in a closet until everyone else is done, then come back and make you go through the whole thing by yourself.
Well, I wasn’t going to be a douche and challenge him on this, so I believed him. It was dark, you can’t see crap. After 20 minutes of winding through a maze of surprises and special effects, you exit. It will get your heart pumping, but when it’s over you’ll be saying…“that was it?”
