Reviews
My daughter and her friends went besides the fact that they loved it my daughter lost her phone in one of the areas of the haunted house. We went to security and Mike went above and beyond to help me find my daughter’s phone .he notified security in all different locations of her last location and they ended up finding it. I am so grateful to have such kind people work events like this and will definitely recommend going . They have gone above and beyond it is much appreciated. Thank you again for a wonderful experience. Amazing

Bought the tickets for my husband and his sister. They just loved it! They said-they were in small groups-like 5 or 6 people, instead of just a large group or following alot of people. they were both just so happy with this experience. Well worth the $$ we paid.

Every year Gateway's Haunted Playhouse delivers. Not only is it a great time every time, but the funds raised during the haunt season help to keep Gateway open year round. This year I've already gone twice, one weeknight and one weekend night, and both times it was fantastic. To be totally honest, I kind of preferred the less crowded weeknight so I could take my time and enjoy the scenes they've worked so hard to put together. Clearly a lot of passion goes into the haunt every year.

Gateway is one of my favorite haunts to visit during October. The actors are incredible, they have unique and well thought out themes. You can tell the amount of work and heart that goes into their haunt! Plus they are a non profit theatre, always giving back to the community! A win win

Longer than I remember from the last time, a few years ago. Very worth the price. Actors were great! A very good variety of black out and light. Inside and outside, up and down, wobbly walkways and creepy obstacles. Scary and very entertaining!
Will definitely come back!

Went last night October 11 2025. It took about 35 minutes to walk through. Every room is different with tons of actors and animatronics. They had some huge animatronics that I've never seen before, well done! The startles are relentless..when you're looking at an animatronic popping out, an actor is jumping at you from the other direction! The smell in 3 of the rooms was so awful, I was gagging. It was intentionally done..lol
There are quite a few stairs to climb up and down, with many uneven surfaces, so be careful.
