Temporarily Closed - New at lake hickory haunts 2023: Boss’s big top circus is all new and bigger than ever! Boss the clown has one goal, to transform all humans into clowns; so he and his evil clown army can take over the world by any means necessary! Let’s just say, boss doesn’t like humans very much. This year, boss and his clown army have been hard at work, creating brand new and mesmerizing experiences, in order to lure humans into his top secret laboratory! The all-new freak show and all-new funhouse of sweets & treats may be tempting, but watch out… boss has hidden tricks up his sleeves and around every corner! Whatever you do… do not enter his top secret laboratory. If you do find yourself in boss’s laboratory, you must make a choice; either be turned into a clown or die! Our suggestion, give up! Boss is no bozo, and him and his clowns don’t clown around (well, maybe sometimes). Either way, boss is a force not to be reckoned with. It’s all fun and games until you’re turned into a clown, or is that when the fun and games begin? We recommend not finding out for yourself. Beware of boss the clown’s top secret laboratory! Ghost town! In the hollows of lake hickory haunts, an “abandoned” town awaits. Over a century ago, this town was booming and filled with crime and anarchy, much like the wild western towns of the 1800’s. Now, it’s a ghost town. Over 100 years later, the town is once again alive! Filled with ghastly, restless, and displeased spirits, the ghost town is more alive than it may look. As you make your way through the ghost town, beware… and respect the dead… or else! Massive updates to the midway of mayhem! Our fun and exciting midway of mayhem is now even bigger!! With two times the midway space, you will find no shortage of games, food, and attractions in the 2023 midway of mayhem at lake hickory haunts! New additions, surprises, and scares around every corner!!

Now look, I know this was during COVID so the attraction was heavily vetted to protect both attendees and haunt employees. The problem is that even though I paid for what I assume was a heavily discounted VIP ticket it still was not worth my money or time. First, after they scanned your ticket, you got ushered into a line to be slowly released down in groups to the actual haunt wait area so everyone would still be 6ft apart from each other. This was IMMEDITELY FORGOTTEN once you got to the waiting area as the lines were not organized in any way and people were everywhere and on top of each other. Secondly , as part of the VIP package you got two free add-ons from the haunt, of which my group chose chose Ax Throwing and their 5 minute escape room. Ax throwing was ax throwing - fine but the cages rattle more then I would have liked. The escape room was TERRIBLE. First, the line for this room was MASSIVE and no one was social distancing in this line either. When my group finally got to the front we were told we did not have 5 minutes, but in fact we had 3 MINUTES because they were so busy. The person who I assume was suppose to be the GM told us that not only could we not get any hints but the only info we were to get was one vague sentence about how to solve the room. Once inside the room was so dark you could barely see anything and by the time you finally got your bearings to figure out how to solve the room time had run out. THIS ROOM WAS AN ADDITIONAL $15 IF YOU DID NOT HAVE THE VIP PACKAGE. I would have been LIVID if I had paid that much for that experience. Finally the haunt portion of the attraction was just only okay. Even taking into consideration that COVID forced a heavy decrease in scare actors and interactive elements there was still nothing so spectacular that you couldn't have found in another haunt. VIP also allowed for us to enter in a separate line which was nice but you did eventually have to enter with a group of people so it wasn't like we even got to walk with just our group. If you're going here, go during the week and buy a cheap ticket, either after the main season or from a discount book. DO NOT DO THE VIP AS IT IS NOT WORTH IT.

I love Lake Hickory Haunts! I’ve been to multiple haunted attractions over the years and this is by far my favorite. It’s just so immersive and so much fun!
