Haunted Forest at Panic Point - Youngsville, North Carolina

This is THE spooky season activity! It's so much better than I even expected, and I had high hopes based on people recommending it. The attractions are super detailed and well thought out and the employees really put their all into their roles (some will chase you!). There is a lot of misdirection, so you'll be expecting something to pop up in one place, and it will come from somewhere else, which keeps you in that perfect state of scary anticipation. Each attraction has its own highlights and impressive elements. The midway has music and employees dressed in scary costumes, and the DJ/MC was doing a great job of entertaining everyone. A guy with a chainsaw even comes into the attraction lines, so you feel like you've got nowhere to hide!

Pro tip: The lines get pretty long towards the later part of the night, so we recommend going to the earliest entry. We were glad we got there right at opening to get a couple of attractions in before the lines got too long.

We left with huge smiles on our faces. This is a must do for spooky season!

This is my third time at Panic Point. The last time I was here was in 2018. It’s still fun but it seemed as if not a lot has changed since then although the ticket prices have gone up a lot. It was like 102$ for two people including taxes. The DJ tower in the center was a nice addition but the rest looked same/familiar. Also they need to space groups further apart, but this is not probably possible with the big wait lines. The other bad thing is that although our start time was 7:30, we had to skip one attraction since the place closed around 9:45. Not sure why they couldn’t be open till like 10 or 10:30 pm. Having said that, it’s a still a fun experience and worth the 40ish min drive from Raleigh. The bonfires and convenience store were decent as well.

All I’ve gotta say it is — WELL WORTH THE MONEY!! For it to be a local haunt, the level of production is that of an amusement park! It was my first time going and I was pleasantly surprised! The actors were very interactive and you could tell they truly enjoyed their roles. Each part of the haunt was very well put together and long enough to truly embrace the area and bask in the spooky goodness! Also, kudos to the DJ! He was KILLING IT — all puns intended haha. I can’t wait to go back again and see the future expansion of my new favorite haunt!

Also, it’s super easy to find! There’s no way you could miss it, which is a HUGE plus!

This was the coolest haunted forest! Worth every penny! Enjoyed 2 hours including parking & waiting in line - 5 attractions avg wait time was 10 min per attraction. The Dark Trail was our favorite. My kids are 9 & 11 we enjoyed every minute of it. I highly recommend to end with the Howling Hayride.

10 out of 10. This place is awesome, tons to do here. There are 5 main attractions and tons of actors to scare you at every corner. There is a lot of walking, the only attraction where you could sit was the werewolf themed hayride. My family enjoyed all the attractions, we rate them in this order: Swamp, Forest, Hayride, Corn Maze, Killers in Corn. There are also supplemental attractions and some games that are not included. They also have a snack stand, merch stand and two fire pits to warm you up if needed. Take your friends and family and you will have a great time, you can easily spend 3 hours there.

This place was so fun!! We traveled about 2 hours to visit and paid over $100 for two people, and we both agree it was worth it! Parking is free and relatively easy, you must buy tickets in advance online and arrive during a certain time period so just arrive at your scheduled time and there shouldn't be any wait to enter. We did pay extra for the Carny puppet show and it was fun as well (Lola was a fantastic host!)
We arrived at 9pm and had time to do 4 out of the 5 attractions before the park closed at about ~11:30pm. We didn't have Fast Passes but the lines actually moved pretty quickly - the longest line we waited in was about 20 minutes.
All the attractions were fun and scary, my only critique would be that it could benefit from more scare actors, both in the attractions and walking around the Midway area. I will definitely be recommending this park to people:)

Super fun. Not gonna spoil but it was a great experience.
I was impressed by how organized they are, from parking, checking-in, the whole process is easy and in order, every attraction is well designed and staffs are well trained. Everyone is so nice. Waiting Line can be long but don’t worry it moves fast. Took us about 3 hours to finish the whole thing on a busy weekend night.
Recommended. Thank you for the efforts.

This is the best haunted event I have been to. They really put in time to build these sets, all the buildings and features were amazing. The monsters did a great job and their costumes were awesome.
The DJ booth in the silo in the middle of everything is such a great idea, Concessions were fairly priced, and everything is easy to navigate. We also really enjoyed the quick magic show with James. We will definitely return!
