Fun day trip!

This was our first trip and we had a great time! We picked this trip to do with our 10 year old because she enjoys spooky, scary things and it was perfect! The directions were easy to follow and I liked how we didn’t have to do any advance planning, but that the day was totally customizable once we were in our way.

Eerie feelings and screaming ghosts!

We checked this trip out just before Halloween! The first stop we missed and had to cycle back around to….. we did a side stop first!! The (teen) kids loved this! We explored for a half hour and could have done longer! The real first stop we found less interesting but stayed for about 30 minutes….. we plan to go back and explore parts that require booking in advance.
The second stop by far was the spookiest! My crew heard female screams from an impossible location! The hairs on our arms stood up, and a general feeling of Ill ease.
We didn’t stop at the food locations but they sounded great!
The last stop on the tour had a parking payment, if you wanted to get out to explore…… we did! I would recommend hiking gear and allowing an hour to a few to explore!

We loved the additional stops to continue on if you wanted to keep going….. however we were too tired to continue!

What a great trip!
Sincerely our crew ( a history buff, a nature photographer, an outdoorswomen, and an energy healer! )

Spooky for Real!

This trip had a good mix of site seeing, outdoorsy stuff and food options. One of the sites was quite creepy - later when I was showing a friend the photos we found an orb in one!

Great trip for the fall

We used this trip for a girls road trip and we enjoyed the fall colours. We were a little confused about some of the directions for the last stop. It was a little disappointing that one of the shops was no longer open.
