Forest Of Screams: Cleveland Event Venue Guide

There’s a 20 min wagon ride, 15 min Trail & 5 min house walkthrough. Great props and animatronics, friendly and scary actors/staff. There were quite a few photo ops, two concession stands, gift shop, escape rooms, two large bon fires with benches, tons of picnic tables and port-a-potties. $35 a person, no wait if you arrive a little before they open! Was a good time!

2025 visit after first coming here in '21. Spectacular visit, so many new scenes, loved the tractor ride, the trail was great, haunted house was amazing. Thanks for great show!!!

This place is absolutely amazing! My best friend, boyfriend, and I stopped by for our first time today and we were so impressed. We have done multiple haunted houses, including Halloween Horror Nights at Universal, and nothing has scared me as much as this place so far! The hayride was so much fun. Props were so cool, and I like how you stopped at each scene and got to look at everything. That was a good warm up for the SCARY part. That trail had my group terrified!!!! No one in front of you, and no one behind you. Just you and the woods. Absolutely amazing. There was a certain part that REALLY got us and that was the pumpkin walk through. The actors in there were spot on, and props to the guy in the rabbit mask. You scared my boyfriend SO BAD, and he never gets scared like that! Actually screamed so loud and everything. The house after the trail was such a nice end, with the help of the animatronics the scare actors were able to get another scare out of us EACH TIME. There was a actor right up front who asked us “Have you ever been pickled before?” And we will now be saying that for the rest of our lives. Thank you to everyone for such a fun and amazing night! All the staff was so sweet. From the woman in the ticket booth, to the people punching the hole into tickets. So amazing. Also so great that they allow photos and videos (without the flash of course) Worth every penny. Telling everyone about this place. We will be back!!!!

Overall great experience and great deal for the price. The hay ride and trail were pretty lengthy with the haunted house being the shortest of the attractions but getting 3 haunt experiences for the price of one would honestly do it again. Wasn’t the scariest haunted house I’ve ever been to but definitely had some good frights and the sets and props were really good. My group purchased the speedy pass and I believe it was worth it. Would recommend getting the speedy pass if you don’t like to wait. Also the concessions area was nice with a good amount of options and fire pit to make smores if you purchase them.

Extremely disappointing and poorly managed experience. I attended Forest of Screams on October 18th and was very disappointed by how the evening was handled from start to finish. Upon arriving, I was confronted and threatened by another customer standing in a parking spot, and when I brought this to staff attention, I was told that I wasn’t the only guest who had this issue—yet nothing was being done to address it. There was also a complete lack of communication about how the attractions were supposed to be experienced. There was no information about the order of the attractions on the website, and the only on-site sign explaining it was blocked by crowds of people. When I asked the manager on duty for clarification, he rudely told me that they “don’t have to advertise the order” because it depends on the number of customers. We waited around 30–45 minutes just to get tickets, then another 45 minutes in line for the haunted hayride with almost no movement. When I tried to speak with the manager again about both the wait and the earlier safety issue, he yelled at me instead of helping. I was also told to find an officer on duty about the parking situation, but when I tried, the same manager confronted me again, continuing to be rude and dismissive. The entire experience was chaotic, unsafe, and unprofessional. For the price and the reputation this event has, I expected a much better level of organization and customer service. Suggestion: Consider implementing a reservation or timed-entry system to help manage the crowds better and clearly post the attraction order online so guests know what to expect.
