13th Floor Haunted House

I would highly recommend the fast pass. We bought a fast pass and the wait was approximately 15 – 20 min. We had a great time. When you first go in the haunted house, they take your picture. The photo is definitely worth the $ 10.

Hands-​down the coolest haunted attraction I’ve ever gone to. And I work in the horror biz! This place was just top-​notch. We came with a group and they were great about keeping us all-​together in different teams. Can’t say enough good things about this haunt! Didn’t expect to have my mind blown, but it was just insane and scary and all-​around terrific! 5 Stars!

You can get fast pass tickets @ Costco for $ 25 a person! With an extra $ 10 you can get immediate access & skip the wait. That’s what I did & it was well worth it because the wait time on ¹⁰⁄₃₀ was over 2 hours in the cold. In line they have TV screens to entertain you as well as actors that run around with chain saws or props to scare you. When you enter the haunted house you get your picture taken in a library-​like room. I loved how this haunted house had so many theme rooms including
1. swamp/​lagoon room (best part!) where the fog created a water-​like effect & under the fog were blown up bags that brushed against your legs giving you the illusion that you are trudging through the water
2. teddy bear room — this was my 1^st scare in the haunted house-​they had the giant bear that you see @ Costco & it came out at me unexpectedly
3. butcher’s rooms with a scary looking cow & boar
4. scary kitchen
5. shaky elevator that took you to the basement
& a bunch more– come see for yourself!
I have been to a handful of scary haunted houses before but appreciated this one because there were so many different stations to go thru. There were flying people up in the ceiling, different texture floors, fog machines & scary sound effects. Street parking was free & was not difficult to find. Outside the haunted house they sold cotton candy & popcorn.

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Not many actors, lot of animatronics. Walking thru the «swap» was worth $ 15 but how many animatronic gators are too many?, 1!!! Thanks for the blast of chainsaw fumes at the end!!!, so scary! I’m sure your local church ups this place at ¹⁄₃ price or Insidious 3 is $ 5.99 OnDemand. They could take a page from

I was a little hesitant after reading some of the other reviews but I am glad I went. Sure you’re not going to wet your pants, but I was impressed at a lot of the effects they used in the haunted house. There was a lot of time and effort put into it and because of that, there were a lot of new things I didn’t know a haunted house could do. Some of the animatronics were cheesy, but nevertheless creative.
Parking is scary though — don’t get suckered into pay $ 5, free parking exists.

Got a Fast Pass ticket from Costco (two tickets for $ 50), and it was well worth it! This was by far the scariest haunted house I’ve been to. That said, I scare very easily and have only been to much smaller houses in the Northern Virginia area.
The actors here were fantastically terrifying (the jumping out from the darkness got me every single time), and the props were disturbing enough to haunt my dreams. I especially hated the part where you feel trapped in those pillow things you have to push through — if you’re claustrophobic, you’ll definitely lose your sh!*
I noticed most of the people waiting in line there were adults, 20s-​30s mostly. I’m used to seeing a ton of teenagers at other haunted houses, so I guess that meant the 13^th Floor is more legit? Time to put your big girl pants on if you’re going to this one!
Parking wasn’t bad. The wait in line (with Fast Pass) was super quick on a Wednesday night. I could tell the other line had been waiting for decades, so it’s probably worth paying the extra $ 10.

I would rate this place –1 stars if it was an option. There were 6 of us in a group and we got there around 6pm. We waited in line for almost 4 hours to get in! The tickets were $ 30 and they try to bait you into paying an extra $ 10 to get in the «express lane». It looked like that’d reduce the wait by an hour. Their organization was terrible.
It took less than 20 minutes to walk through the whole place, but we had to stop and wait a lot to let the long line of people in front of us go through before us. The actors didn’t really try to put in a show. They looked as mad as we were to be there. It was not scary or fascinating at all. We had high hopes and were more than disappointed. Will not be back and will not recommend. These people are scam artists.

After years of getting used to haunted houses, I decided it was finally time to visit what is quite possibly Colorado’s most famous house.
Like a lot of people, I’ve heard the stories of a refund if you finish (not true) and the Broncos players not finishing it out of being too scared (also probably not true). As it always goes, this made me excited but pretty nervous to check it out.
I went on a Wednesday evening and bought a fast pass ticket ahead of time. I thought that might have been a waste of $ 10 extra as it was a week night, but it turned out to be a great call. When we got there around 7:30, only half an hour after opening, the GA line looked to be at least 30 – 45 minutes. Luckily for us, we literally walked right in without waiting.
Without spoiling details, the sets are incredible. They feel very real and the themes are pretty well fleshed out. There are a few areas that really mess with your senses, which were my favorite. Having said that, the actors were few and far between. A decent amount actually got me and there are very creative ways that they’re incorporated, but most of the time it’s walking through and looking at creepy settings and animatronics.
In that sense, 13^th Floor is one of the cooler haunted houses I’ve ever been to. The set up and detail is really creepy and fun to get into.
Here’s where I have a big problem with this place, and something people have mentioned: bunching up with people ahead of you. It completely ruins the scare when an actor scares the woman in front of you just around the corner. By the time you get there, the actor has reset. A HUGE part of going to a haunted house is being scared and startled by actors.
Given that we ran into the group ahead of us, my brother and I several times tried to wait even just a minute for them to get ahead so we could enjoy the experience. And this is why this a 3 star attraction rather than a 4: the actors will actually walk up behind you and PUSH you through under the guise of trying to scare you. Maybe a little freaky the first time, and then when you realize it’s to keep you moving until you run into the people in front of you and the scare is ruined again, it’s just plain frustrating.
Bottom line, I’m glad I checked out the 13^th Floor, but it didn’t live up to its reputation and in a lot of ways, little frustrating things built up to ruin what was amazing about it.
Check it out on a weekday, but don’t bother wasting your time standing in line for 3 hours.

After reading almost all of the reviews for this place, I thought to myself only one thing– I am going to have to check this place out for myself. The reviews are all on one end of the spectrum or another. And I can almost see why. For one thing, I think if you want to enjoy this place more, I would say do your research. If you come at peak times (weekends, Halloween night, etc), if you aren’t mentally prepared, I could see why there are negative reviews.
On the contrary, I came at as non peak of a time you can get– and I reaped the benefits of it. With that being said, I would suggest NOT wasting the money buying a «fastpass» (¹⁄₃ of the general wait) or «immediate access» (apparently no wait) if you do come at a non peak time. I won’t blatantly tell you when a perfect example of a non-​peak time is (*coughs look at my picture), but, if you can score like I did, you can pay general admission pricing (@25.99 a ticket) and get damn near immediate access.
The only thing that bugged me about this place was the actual setup. Upon arrival, if you don’t take a cab, you are parking up and down along Brighton. Not necessarily the safest places to park (I have witnessed some bad wrecks in the area). Be aware of that. Also, since we (my roommate and I) arrived 30 minutes before closing, it was kind of annoying they closed the GA line, but they kept telling me to go that way. After three failed entries, I finally went to the fastpass line. I mean hell, there were only 6 – 7 people in the actual line at that time.
Oh yea, the ticket booth, they do take CC. You can buy a combo ticket at $ 42, which also gets you into Asylum (which is run by the same production company). Since the combo ticket is for same day use, I would instead wait for the $ 5 off coupon you get upon exiting. When we lef, we drove by Asylum to see if it was still open– the employees were already out in the parking lot tailgating.
After finally getting in the right line, we literally waited 2 – 3 minutes, AT MOST!!! They then asked us if we wanted our picture taken, we declined (should have done it, now I think about it). We then passed the picture room, then a lady gave us a quick briefing– no camera, no video, no food, no drinking, no touching, and no running. And no wearing the actual hoodie on your hoodie.
We then proceeded. Since it was not crowded, we got hit with all of the actors. Some of them made me actually say «shit» a few times. My roommate had been drinking (I was not), and I tell you what, he was screaming like Michael Jackson at some parts. Lol.
After the first section, there was an «Undead» section. They take you down «13 floors» in a creaky elevator. It was pretty cool. There was a part in there I thought I was going to have to piggyback my roomie. It was great– they got him good.
Then there was a 3^rd part– «Feral» something. A nice way to end the haunted house. The whole thing took about 35 minutes– with minimal waiting inside. There were some parts that I was thinking to myself if I was ever going to get out, that increased my heartbeat a little bit. But, in the end, I lived to tell the tale.
At the exit, we got our «Asylum» coupon and on the back had an ad for «Blackout” — more on that in a minute. The staff at the end asked if we liked it, we said we did. There was a portable gift shop that also had the pictures for sale (taken at beginning). There were also porter potties out there as well. And, a Denver PD officer as well.
The great thing about the no wait thing is that it didn’t give one time to get sobered up– I think that helped the experience as a whole. For those who were not scared, I would suggest going to «Blackout». It is only on the nights of Friday, November 13^th, and Saturday, November 14^th. Each group that enters gets one glowstick. You must each sign a waiver, there is no time limit, and lost or stolen glowsticks will NOT be replaced. That sounds like a hell of a time! May have to go back! The tickets are the same price.
If you do it right and do your homework, I think you will have a great time. Go in with a pissy attitude and having to wait a while, I can see it not being a fun time!

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. If I could post negative stars I would. First off we paid extra for immediate access. Which we got! But, then we got inside to wait in a line through the entire house. There were absolutely no scares. We had just come from haunted fields and that was amazing. Save your money and go elsewhere. I’ll never return.

All this place cares about is making money and pushing as many people in as they possibly can. We got the Fast Pass, which made the wait only about 20 minutes, but once inside we were herded like cattle. There were so many other people in front of us, which really ruined the ambience. We refused to keep going and waited about 10 minutes to allow the people in front of us to move ahead, and out of nowhere this miserable staff person (she said she was a «manager») started pushing us to keep moving and kept whispering into her walkie talkie. She was rude and obnoxious. My friends and I were saying how angry we would have been if we had waited for four hours in line. The special effects were really cool but there were barely any actors. Never going back.

I am so disappointed. They make everyone wait in line and it’s a constant line going through. Absolute waste of money.

They relied too heavily upon their robotic creatures. I saw more actors while waiting in line than I did through the whole haunted house. I now understand that they charge so much so they can afford their special effects. But it 100% wasnt worth our money. I’m legitimately embarrassed we chose this haunted house. There were too many people allowed in at one and i legitimately almost feel asleep IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE. I’m not exaggerating the haunted house was so horrible I almost fell asleep during it. I can sleep for free but thanks. I can’t wait until next year when Field of Corpses is open again.
Can I give less than one star?

The place is filled with animatrons– who is scared by those? We walked through long stretches without any actors or scares. There were a couple of creepy rooms, but overall I wasn’t that impressed. I’m easily scared and look forward to the stuns and shocks of being creeped out. I would chalk the lack-​luster experience up to it being a Monday night, but that is really no excuse.

First of all, if I would have trusted some the reviews over my gut, I’d have never gone. With that said, I’m glad I went. Sure, it was a Monday night, which was great! No ignorant little teenagers trying to show off, no long lines, and a great experience. The actors all did great, the effects were top notch, and we weren’t rushed through. The only bad thing I have to say is that we heard one of the line actors had been punched in the face, a short creepy clown girl who had been doing this gig for years. People need to realize they are going to a show, and stop expecting to be thrown into an actual horror movie.

three hours and twenty minutes in line. the most ridiculous wait time i have experienced in my life. we started off the night at the asylum. very short wait time. organized. we all liked the asylum better. there are some cool attractions inside 13^th floor but it was so much scarier last year and the wait time was waaaay shorter. we will not be returning next year, it’s not worth the prices or the wait. we will give some of the other scare houses a try in 2016.
our suggestions:
— if you are going to have talent entertain the crowd make sure they have talent. my ten year old could do what this fire ball lady does. very lame.
–have at least four hours of different footage on big screens for people to watch while they are standing for this ridiculous wait. show scary movies anything but a loop of the same crap.
–have venders walking around selling drinks and snacks. beer! like the thornton scare attraction.
–space the groups out once they are finally in. we had to constantly wait for the group in front of us and the same goes for the group behind us. this problem makes your group miss out on the scare because of timing.
–lower your prices and learn how to move the line through faster.
not at all worth the money and our feet are still killing us from standing for soooo effing long.

4 hour wait pretty disappointing.

We waited in line for close to 4 hours. They make it very clear that they will not refund your money, but don’t make any effort to let you know the wait time. A huge group cut in line and when the staff was notified, they spoke to the group but did nothing about it. Even though they project the rule about strictly enforcing line cutting.
By the time we got into the Haunted House I didn’t even care and in the end it was just ok. Definitely not worth the wait or the money. I wouldn’t even pay extra for the fast pass because the haunted house wasn’t worth the money.

The special effects are outstanding in this haunted house. One room looks like a swamp that you walk through by using fog and green laser lights. So awesome. Scares come from all different angles, behind you, and even above sometimes. The large monster machines are a great piece of work. You can tell that they put a lot of effort into this. It is definitely worth the money.
MY ONLY CON: as i was walking through the first house, someone jumped out and scared us. I screamed (of course), and told my friend «wow i didn’t even see him, he looked like one of the props» as we were walking away, the actor said «yeah that’s the point.» It definitely ruined the genuineness of the haunted house and completely unnecessary.

Wow this is scary! for $ 25 I would say you get your money’s worth. I came here with my boyfriend and coworkers. I tend to get terrified at these things, the boyfriend just found it entertaining, he was startled maybe a couple of times. Needless to say, he led the group. However, the person in the back gets followed by the most monsters so the safest place is in the middle (yeah I am obviously a total wimp I know).
If you go here, you will be met with lots of spooky characters, several horrifying rooms, & lots of things that throw off your depth perception. There’s lots of strobe lights, low or no viability, humidity, and times when you feel lost.
You can tell they put money into this haunted house. The rooms are very well done, the costumes are amazing. I was very impressed, and terrified!
Be sure to check when it opens the day you are going, and get there about 15 minutes prior. The general admission line got long, fast. We got there at 7:20 (when it opened at 7:30) and got in the haunted house a little before 8. The VIP and fast passes get to cut in line making GA take significantly longer than you would anticipate.
Lack of a star: for the parking, maybe put up a sign that says «free» the guy leading you into the parking lot makes us think we are about to have to pay. The girl who took our tickets on the way in was in a bad mood and not friendly, maybe have a scary person with a fun attitude do it instead. Also, I saw children here that were clearly under 10, THIS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN. There should be a rule of 13+ partly because you need to be tall enough for a couple areas of the attraction.
