Reviews
I have visited Lake Hickory Haunts every year since 2013. Their show, customer service, and scares are phenomenal. But this year, they truly have outdone themselves! I can't believe how great LHH is, after only 6 years of operation. This year, I visited the first week of October, and November 4 for Black Out! Black out was a completely unique experience than the regular show... The regular haunt tour is jaw dropping, with the best sets, actors, special FX, and costumes I've ever seen. The tour took us 45 minutes to complete. My favorite attraction they have is Extinction, it feels like you've just been thrown into the Aliens movie, and the Creature of the Black Lagoon at the same time. Lake Hickory Haunts is worth way more than what they charge. I recommend getting the VIP Pass! We were treated like royalty, and got a free t-shirt, and to play the new (awesome) escape game, and we played Dizzy Darts (really unique). Anyways, I could talk about this haunt for days... Just trust me and go experience it for yourself, you won't regret it! Thank you Lake Hickory Haunts!!!

LHH is my favorite haunt year after year... With the most unique and elaborate sets, best actors, and most dedicated management. I visit every year and from what I've heard, they're tripling the size of the show this year, I'm so pumped for 2016!

I went last night so the wait was really long, but it was so worth it! It's been so long since I've gotten scared in a haunt but they managed to do it 8 times! Highly recommend Lake Hickory Haunts!

Best haunt that I have ever been to honestly. There was pop scares everywhere, the boat ride was amazing, and the clown house was very thought through, and well timed. But my favorite part was the main building where every room scared the Hell out of me, especially the last three rooms which are I think Granny's room, the Asylum, and Dr. Death's room.

I'll just be honest, it takes a lot to get me to jump, but this place had me on my toes ALL NIGHT!! Right from the beginning, usually most places work there way up to the "big scares" but this place has it going on! You can't beat the price either. We had the option of doing the Fast Pass to skip the line for only $30, so instead of waiting 2 hours to get in we waited an hour, maybe. Totally worth it though!!! Going back again this year!

Amazing doesn't cover it. Lake hickory haunts has evolved so much in just a year! They have updated everything including the scare factor! The screams start from the parade if you catch it all the way to the end! There are clowns galore, a haunted boat ride, a creepy granny house and of course a insane hospital! I recommend going and checking out everything they have in store for you!! Amazing haunt!

It was great from start to finish but the boat ride was my favorite! The boat ride was awesome! Never seen anything like it anywhere at any other haunted house!

Most detailed, elaborate, unique, and overall scary haunt in NC. It's too much to explain, you just have to see this place for yourself!
