Temporarily Closed - Hidden deep in the woods, HellsGate is a multi-level mansion filled with secret passages, giant slides, ghastly secrets, undead abominations, really nervous groundskeepers and a darkness that the gate can no longer contain! This is not just a haunted house, it's an adventure!

I have had the pleasure of visiting Hellsgate at least 5 times and it gets better every single year. The interior is beautifully done from hardwood floors to crown molding. It is everything a haunted house should be. The actors are just amazing, its not a bunch of "Get out!"s or random snarls, there is thought behind the action and dialogue. The queue line actors are always the fun to interact with and will keep you entertained until you enter the mansion. It is a challenge to not just marvel at the beauty of this evil old mansion as you meander the various rooms but the entities within will keep you on your toes.

Everything is very well done, the costuming, the lighting and set dressing, everything keeps you in the moment.

Speed passes are very worthwhile but they also had VIP passes that let you prank someone in your group with extra scares and that was a lot of fun when I did that to a buddy a few years back.

The mansion is designed like a real home rather than the traditional windy and disorienting halls common in haunt attractions. Everything makes this place feel real.

This is one of the most thought out experiences ever. I use the word experience because that’s what it is. It is not just your normal haunt, it is an adventure. Scenes and storyline were executed perfectly and the experience is top notch. Definitely worth checking out.

I go down to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios every year (and have been doing that for the last 20+ years) so it's typical difficult for me to fully enjoy more "local" haunted houses. HellsGate is definitely an exception to that! It's a great story with some great decor and actors. It's by far my favorite haunted house I've done outside of Halloween Horror Nights and IMO the best in the Chicagoland area.

We had front of the line tickets but we went very early in their season and didn't need them.

There's parking lots but you need to be shuttled over.
