Super fun family experience. The maze is cool to walk through the whole way to get the challenge markers or just for fun. There is also an interactive map that you can scan a QR code to see where you are. We didn’t do the haunted trail, but we did do the fright lights which was a long and fantastic experience. That one was my favorite because of the many different light effects. We had also gotten a voucher for a free pumpkin at the end of it. There is also food, activities, and other stuff for kids to enjoy. Parking can be a bit limited at times, but people can come and go pretty quickly.

We do this maze every year. The staff is so friendly, they have an interactive map this year to see where you are in the maze. There are fun animal rubbings for kids, the maze is fun. My favorite are the fright lights. This is not very scary and great for all family members. They do such a good job every year, the path is lit with fun lights and Halloween music. At the end there are some fun lights the kids have a fun time playing on, light up swings and teetertotters. And to take home you get a pumpkin. There is also a corn pit and slides for the kids. We take our grandkids every year.

We had so much fun! This was my first time coming here. We had a little mix up with Utah Kids Club giving out misleading information, but the people at Fright Lights handled it great! They were very reasonable and so nice! As for the actual walk thru.. it was so much fun! My kids are 2, 6, 6, and 11. They all loved it! I hope they do it again next year, we will definitely be back!

Update - November 1, 2024 - we went after Halloween and it wasn't very busy which was nice. Our 5 year old loves it. The music was missing from the first half of the Fright Lights path and I think many of the lights were working okay. It's a good time for kids. I'll raise it to 4 stars because they definitely put a lot of work into the whole thing and it shows. The Fright Lights is good for small children, but many of the lights are in bad shape. Burnt out and looks like they haven't had maintenance done in years.
