Review This Haunt
  • Best in the nation

    In my opinion, this haunted house isn’t just the 5th best, it’s THE best in the nation! The scares, the fun, everything about it was amazing. 11/10 stars!!! I would TOTALLY recommend going here, everything was so realistic, definitely worth the money!

  • Love this place so much

    I love this place it was my first time going, I’m 13 it was amazing 🤩 I would love to come back! There was this time that I entered and I was at the end and scary chainsaw man chased me through the last half of the house he would like get in my face it was awsome!!! I 100% recommend going here! I’m trying to find out the age limit to work here (be a scare actor) i can’t find it anywhere!!! I saw bubbles the clown and he looked amazing makeup and everything!

  • Email Verified Better than average. The building is great

    1st of all I wanna start out by saying you would not find a better place to have a haunted attraction anywhere. This building is not only historically interesting but it also felt like it really is haunted. You can feel a presence there. No doubt about it. I enjoyed the building and the fact that it was really haunted very much. I found the actors and room settings to be thrown together and not creative enough for the jail. They could do SO much better with this haunt. It's a shame the management of this wonderful jail doesn't have the funding or creativity to make this haunt what it should be.

  • Fun for all.. A place to be!!!!

    They are Ranked Number #5 for a reason... Most think it's rated number #5 because it's the scariest, and if you go for that reason and expecting to be scared out of your mind you would be very wrong.. Columbia City Haunted Jail is ranked #5 because its a haunted attraction! An attraction for everyone of all age's, it's a haunt for the little kiddo's to the very wisest of us all.. I had my fare share of scares, laughs, thrills, wounder, and amazement!! The actors were all very interactive, and some very willing to toss a joke out to you...They took pride in what they were doing, so much that some were hanging upside down to deliver that heart pounding scare.. Others took ques from me to scare my wife, and some were so very scary but yet sexy such as the nurse that looked like she was right out of Silent Hill. Price point was right on the money for the show you get.. This is 4 stories of entertainment about a 15 to 20 min adventure through this 1800 hundreds jail.. This haunt was an actual jail that served the community from the late 1800 hundred's to the mid later 1900 Hundred's.. Their are claims of real spirits of the once living prisoners that never made it out of the jail.. So your getting a chance to to meet up with a real ghost who haunts the building... So you're getting a lot of bang or scare for your buck... Well worth the trip and visit.. So don't go to be scared out of your mind go to have a great time.. If you go with that in your mind you will for sure have a great time...

  • Email Verified Best around and actual haunted place

    Had to check this out because it's listed as a haunted place in Indiana AND is a haunt; it couldn't be better! Fun actors following us the whole time and we will be back again before they board it up for the season.

  • Not sure about this one

    Not sure if this was the best night to attend? Maybe they had some electrical difficulties.. lots of dark areas..that were non interactive..I know it's a haunted house and darkness is a factor,but just seemed to not be running right. Maybe low on staff as there were hardly any scares.. not too sure of I would give it another try or worth the drive. The basement was neat.

    Vampire was spectacular in a very detailed haunt! All the actors seemed real! Much better than Hysterium or the Haunted Castle!

  • Email Verified Sexy-Scary Vampire lady

    This place has it all! When you wait in line, actors will walk around and its very entertaining. This HOT Vampire women kept sneaking up on me and my group of friends. IT WAS GREAT! My brother was "turned -on" and scared at the same time! The basement area is horrifying! We are going every weekend this year! CANT WAIT! Hope the "Vampire lady will remember us
