Reviewed October 20, 2024
Do not go to Darien lake fright fest such a waste of money didn’t even get to go through any of the haunted houses and when I talked to others that waited in line for 2 hours for the haunted houses they said they were terrible and absolutely not worth it. Not one person in that park lastnight was happy literally everyone there was upset and I will never pay money for that ever again what a waste of 55 dollars.

"Fright Fest sucks!"
TripAdvisor user rating 2 out of 5
Reviewed September 30, 2024
This is a review for the Fright Fest attraction at Darien Lake. Do Not, and I will repeat, DO NOT, go to Darien Lake just for Fright Fest. If you are a Halloween scare lover, It is definitely not worth the money to go just for Fright Fest. Now I am speaking specifically as in just an adult outing for Fright Fest. If you go to enjoy the park and add Fright Fest to you entry purchase, It is so not worth it. Enjoy the park and go to some other scare in the area. 1 haunted attraction, Bloodstone Hallow, had so much potential. But lacked some additional scare actors. Scarecrow Row was a complete waste of time. No one jumping out at you, no good sceneries. I think there were maybe 4 or 5 actors in the entire walk. And the talked to you. Didn't scream. Didn't try to scare ya. Talked!! His coming, run. He's coming to get you. Blah blah blah. The park itself is always a good time. The rides are great. The food is way overly priced. But what do you expect? Its an amusement park. I have been to many haunted attractions in the area from Williamstown NY to Buffalo over the years and Fright Fest is by for the worst for the money and the worst for a good scare. They should at least give you a free snickers bar.

We camped for 2 nights and purchased a season pass. We enjoyed the site, clean washrooms and showers. The waterpark was our favorite and rented a cabana. The rides, food and laser light show was amazing. We had such an amazing time, we highly recommend.

"Sucked. Very disappointed."
TripAdvisor user rating 3 out of 5
Reviewed August 09, 2024
We had a OK time, not sure if we would return, even though we have been season pass holders for 8 years +. Now, we are not first time park goers, we have been going for almost 10 years. Since Six Flags has taken over prices have tripled. Parking, tickets to park, games, food, and drinks. I get it if there were improvements. One piece of pizza is $17! One piece! Chicken fingers that were around $12 are now almost $19. Paint is flaking everywhere exposing metal, pieces of benches are missing exposing large nails right at the height of children's knees. The canvas of the rides is dirty and some look to be covered in mold. The water slides look disgusting having not been power washed. The wading pools and wave pool have have severely cracking making for tripping hazards or a stubbed toe or two, missing paint chips that seem to be floating in the water with babies. They added a new water tower thing in the children's section of the water park, but the palm trees are flaking large metal and paint coatings, the branches are missing, and overall looks in disrepair. Drink stations were covered in syrup and debris and never cleaned. The ponds have never been really clean, but now they look like sewage run offs and it is really gross. There is accumulations of trash floating in every water area in the park. I don't know where all the extra money they are charging is going, but it is not to improve this park. Used to love spending the summers at this park. Sad that this is no longer a option for our family. The ONLY reason there are 3 stars is BECAUSE the gentleman who worked at the SUBWAY in the park on August 8th 2024 at about 3-4pm was incredibly diligent when I mentioned a severe food allergy. Without even asking, this gentleman immediately made sure to protect me from any kind of contamination. He understood the importance of a food allergy and did not cut corners. I appreciate this very much.
