The Real Waverly Hills Reviews

 Waverly Hills Sanatorium was everything and more than what I thought it would be! I could talk all day about the energy and the emotions that fill those grounds. From shadow people, apparitions, voices, and so much more, Waverly is truly a special place! I have wanted to visit for 20 years and last night one of my paranormal buck list dreams came true. I absolutely loved my experience with all my soul and the ones that roam those halls !♥️

 Very interesting would love to do it again

 Tour was great! Jess did a great job as a tour guide. However, we wished the gift shop sold stickers

 I’m Active Duty Navy and was on leave in Kentucky when I bought tickets on Feb 20, intending to go that night. The site defaulted to March 20 (also a Friday), and I didn’t notice the month. With a strict no-refund policy and now back at my Command in California, I can’t return. Money lost and the possibility of a future experience ruined.

 The tour was awesome. Our guide was informative and interesting. Either we missed or couldn't find instructions on getting there. It would've been helpful to have instructions with the ticket. There was a ton of info on no refunds, strangely and unsettling, but a lack of instructions. The wait upon arrival was felt too long without communication. Concessions were nice. The merch was disappointing. We would've loved more relevant, Unique, and/or stylish souvenirs.

 This was a very interesting tour. Nicole was an excellent guide, personable and knowledgeable. The building itself is fascinating. Not often does one get to see a 100 year old building in a natural state of decay. I look forward to taking a Historical Tour in daylight. The views from the rooftop terrace when the Sanatorium was open must have been stunning. Tragic deaths unrelated to tuberculosis in addition to the many, many patient deaths before streptomycin in 1943.

 I had an absolutely amazing time. The tour guides were entertaining and knowledgeable, and I saw so many creepy unexplainable things. We are 100% planning on coming back for an overnight investigation

 Nicole & Stephanie were great!

 I’ve always enjoyed attending the tours here, growing up with waverly as my back yard and getting to experience the energy here first hand is unreal.

 Had a blast, our tour guide, Nicole was amazing and made the experience informative and enjoyable. Definitely will be coming back

 Crystil was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable about the history of the property and with personal anecdotes that she shared. I can’t wait to visit again!

 O tour guide was knowledgeable about Waverly Hills. Had insights from being on staff for a long time. Enjoyed the walk and seeing the property.

 What an amazing spot that is so full of history!

 This was amazing to see and to hear the history of the building.

 Very upset the gift shop was not open and that we were rushed on the extra floors that we paid extra money to see. Not sure I will ever go back.

 Brought my niece this time. Very disappointed. Too many people with lights flashing in your face and basically all over you with laughing and loud talking. You think your away from others and then lights flashing in your face. We paid the same price as they and never got the experience due to rude loud patrons.

 I had an amazing time during the 6-hour public investigation at Waverly Hills. It was such a unique experience getting to explore the building at night. The atmosphere inside is incredible and really adds to the whole experience. I truly enjoyed every minute of it and would absolutely recommend it to anyone interested in the paranormal or historic haunted locations. I would definitely go back again. 👻

 We had a great time!! So much to explore! Staff was great and very knowledgeable!

 LOVED IT !! Rated 5 stars from everyone in my family. Our tour guides, Crystal and Anthony, made accommodations for one in our group on a knee scooter ! Most of our group took the whole tour, while the one was personally escorted around by Brandon and Molly. What an amazing, knowledgable team !! We couldn't have been treated better or nicer ! I can't say enough about how touched we were that everything that could have been done, and more, was done to help our group !

 Love it. Makes you feel like you have look into farther with other tours

 Didn't get to go. Wrong month. No refund. Command won't let me go on another leave for it with the current OPTEMPO.

 Would definitely do this again.

 Cool place with an interesting history, tour guide was knowledgeable. The only downside for me was the tour size. 20 plus people in our group and another 20 plus people in the other group going at the same time. I think a smaller group would have been better.

 The guides were amazing. They told all the stories and experiences. They let everyone take pictures.

 Spooky and creepy and had a blast

 Amazing. It didn’t disappoint. We will be back

 We really enjoyed the whole tour! My wife was very apprehensive in the beginning and my daughter was super excited to do this! After seeing so much about the location, I was definitely curious, and needless to say, it did not disappoint us whatsoever. In fact all three of us rated it around a 9 out of 10! As my wife’s cousin who is a pro investigator said, “it’s the real deal!”

 I enjoyed the tour. Nicole was a great guide. It is a five story building, so plenty of stairs. The campus is expansive. Well worth it, but be aware you'll be mostly walking in the dark for two hours. Fascinating stories of lost souls. Great opportunity to encounter paranormal activity.

 See above 😊

 My husband and I I got this as a Christmas present and it did NOT disappoint! Crystil was our tour guide and was so amazing! I love that she shared her own experiences and took her time with the whole group! We even got to meet Tina and ask her questions while we browsed the gift shop options! Thank you for making such a cool place available to the people!

 Every moment was fantastic It was set at a great pace and we learned so much. We can’t wait to do it again

 My girlfriend and I had a great time during our tour. Our guide, Cristal, did an amazing job, and she clearly showed her knowledge about the building and its history. We are very happy about our experience! We will recommened to our friends and family!

 Best part of our trip. Very informative and worth every penny. We highly recommend this tour.

 It was great, the scare actors were super engaging and fun, shoutout to the one guy in a straight jacket that kept scaring us along the whole thing!

 The only thing that saved the night was the haunted house. That we have never been disappointed with, but it’s not enough to bring us back when we drive two hours to get there.

 it was great loved it best one I been to

 The haunted house was okay. There were no real jump scares and lots of missed opportunities for scares. My husband had to use the bathroom after the tour and before the haunted house. He was told he could come back in and join us if he ran outside to pee, but once outside, he wasn’t allowed back in - even though we paid for the RIP tickets. So he didn’t even experience the haunted house. Throughly disappointing.

 Would highly recommend

 The ONLY suggestion I would make for the Halloween attraction would be to turn the fog machines down by about 10%. Otherwise it was amazing!

 We got the RIP tickets, Well done!

 Staff was amazing and scare actors were so into their characters! Honestly I was amazed at how mi h I got scared by them 😂 really nice prop set up too

 I was expecting some slow, boring tour of the place for 2 hours. But instead, they actually had us go into the haunted house they had specifically tailored to fit the theme of the insane asylum. The actors were really cool, unfortunately they weren't allowed to touch us. It was a great experience nonetheless. The haunted house had so many great rooms, traps, and tricky spots to navigate through in the dark. Also, its pretty safe for children around 13 y.o.

 the haunted house was awful. There was so much animations and fake material used there was not very many actors in the haunted house....not much to be scared of.

 We had a blast coming back next year.

 Waverly Hills needs a photo op spot for post haunted house. Perhaps a ring light set up with timer where the users can text themselves the photo. OR a professional photo like medieval times captured outside the gates prior to the video start where guests can purchase a printed copy.

 Okay / I'd say average. The tour was fine - the presenters were strong in their knowledge and delivery. The haunted house was fun - nothing scary though. I was really hoping that it would be more than I experienced.

 I enjoyed my experience! The actors all did a great job! My only complaint was that large chunk of the haunt that was pitch black. For some that might be totally scary but for me it felt like a quick fix for a lack of budget or ideas? Every other part was awesome though! Definitely coming back next year!

 So much fun waiting around every corner.

 I don't think the mini tour was worth 40.00 but the haunted house was worth 20.00. I wont take the tour from here on out but I will be back for the haunted house.

 I have been taking tours at Waverly for many years, and I learn something new every time I come.

 Really really fun‼️

 This was a great event! The mini tour included with the RIP ticket was very informative and interesting. I would go again for sure!

 Haunted House was fun and the tour guides for the mini tour did great.

 Spectacular! Very well done!

 Worth the wait! And the wait wasn't very long. Very nice attraction.

 The haunted house was decent, Been better in the past. Too many really dark places that was just walking around in total darkness

 Fun! It was busy but managed very well. The haunted house itself wasn't as spooky, it was more of a fun spooky experience. The beginning was different with the 3D glasses. I lie that they did something different than most haunted houses to stand out. It was long for only $20 per ticket and the wait wasn't terrible but we got there very early.

 It'ok that raigh now I loved

 The haunted house didn’t have a lot of actors. There was so many places where an actor could jump out and scare us but never did.

 The haunted house was just LOUD and very rushed. The 3D part was sickening and then the bridge through the spinning tunnel was awful!. The traffic just getting into the place was crazy. We sat in line for almost 2 hours before actually getting in!

 we loved the attraction! From the projection on the building, to the props inside, and the actors. Everything about this event is amazing. The best part is the price, for being a top notch event, I am always surprised the tickets are such a low cost. Also, just the idea of being in an actual haunted place doing a haunted house is really cool. All the details matter and your props and actors nail it!. Would re commend to anyone

 Walk-through was great, as usual. Two concerns or questions. First, it would be nice to see any and all upgrades and reconditioning that has been done over the years. It would be nice to see where our money is going. Secondly, was the BBQ afterwards for thr guests? There was no advertisement of it, nor were there signs after. Smelled very good, wish we could have had some

 Scary but comfortable. Good fun!!

 Very organized!

 It was fun and well set up.

 LOVED IT ALL, THANK YOU!!

 I know there's not much more that you can do to scare someone without physically harming someone, but it really wasn't scary. All the lights made it feel UN-authentic, it really killed the vibe when we made it to the building & seen "come see our x-mas laser light show" flashing across it. The VIP tickets should be $40 vs $60 for the quality.

 A bucket list item checked off my list.

 It’s was so fun except for the dark room the people breathing in my ear was too much and I was telling them to stop and that I was not given a safety word but the continued I was crouched down on the floor cry and had to be dragged out by my girlfriend and we where called fat by a worker which very much upset me and my girlfriend other than that super fun

 I thought they did an excellent job. Well coordinated, good setup, and a lengthy event that was worth the money.

 Very fun RIP is the only way to go

 The tour and info were excellent. There was so much more to it than what I anticipated. I would recommend going when they are not holding their haunt as it does detract a bit from the experience. But even with the fake scares present, the tour was quite thrilling and informative. I intend to return and bring another person who is interested next year.

 The haunted house on first floor is well done and a lot of fun, takes about 25 minutes to go through.

 I was disappointed they didn't incorporate much of the lore into the experience. Would be more scary if you focus more on the haunted aspect of the building. Not scared at all. Also took at least 30 minutes just to park.

 took the mini tour and haunted house, both were great!

 The first part was great. The second half was average. We laughed a ton and had a lot of fun.

 See previous comment.

 We had so much fun, will def be returning to visit again

 I was expecting you to capitalize on the sanitorium's history and not just be like every other haunted house. I expected better actors and better costumes, as well as atmosphere. We were very disappointed in the experience.

 Very well put together. Good job! This was my 13 year old first ever experience and she loved it!

 The light show wasn't as good as normally. The haunted house was good!

 Haunted house was very nice. Should probably separate groups a little more though.

 Plenty of jump scares without being disturbing. Love it!

 My wife and I have always wanted to visit Waverly Hills. We were so excited to go and it did not disappoint. The tour guides were amazing for the short RIP tour we got before the haunted house. And the haunted house part was amazing as well. Will definitely come back.

 Great experience!

 Put alot of work to make it great

 Had a great time, and I am sure these memories will last a while.

 The staff did a good job as well. The beginning outside attraction was pretty cool. The 3D effects are “trippy”. Some good surprises & variety as you go through the whole haunted house.

 Great value, and was significantly longer than most haunted houses, which was really cool! The actors did a great job. We definitely enjoyed it!

 Loved it Waverly is a must stop every year
