Ghostly Manor Thrill Center

We loved this place. If we lived here we would definitely have our kid’s birthday parties here… Good variety and activities are spaced out well. The staff was also very nice.

did the haunted tour… a bit dated. but the person working the tour was good. kept popping out to scare us. the rest of place looked touristy… not for families with older kids

This place is awesome! Stopped by when I heard about it after our cedar point trip! As a horror fan and especially haunted house fan I couldn’t miss it! The haunted house is professional quality! Compared to things I have seen the haunted house was fantastic! Truly amazing! The special effects are professional from the animatronic and pneumatic effects. Disorienting, loud, and scary! Three combinations for a fantastic haunt. Staff made me very uncomfortable. But once again you will not be disappointed by the haunt. The haunt made up for the dis interested staff. Fantastic and I can really appreciate the effort put into this as a home haunter. This must have been an incredible investment and hours upon hours of work is clearly displayed. DONT MISS IT!

First, we were almost overcharged by $ 28. Once we entered, the kids (7&8) roller skated and played on the bouncy house for about two hours and had a great time. Our son loved that you can use scooters on the skating rink. The 6d movie has two broken chairs out of eight. They didn’t tell us and our son sat in a broken chair for the movie. Afterwards, we were told he could go back in by himself and watch it again, they did let one adult in with him. The $ 7 miniature golf is only 9 holes and weird. It is very tight in spaces, and confusing. Some of the employees were were very helpful. Some were not helpful, and walked away when questions were asked. Some of the employees were braiding each others hair. Everything was very clean. We did not use the video games or go through the haunted house. A poor experience for $ 78.

Took my 11 & 13 year old sons here in hopes of something different than the parks. The haunted house did not disappoint. Both left talking nonstop about the experience. We were all scared as you hope to be when going to s haunted house. The «spooks» in the haunted house did a wonderful job. My issue was with the cashier and counter help. Everyone at the counter/​front of the place seemed put off and slow to respond. Felt like I was bothering them w questions even though u must talk w them to use anything past the front door. I would call them rude but they didn’t seem to care enough to be rude. Need new supervisors who can motivate others to care.

My 5 star is not because it was the best haunted house, but because it is year round. The haunted house it sweet though. And then you factor in that they have games, skating, bounce houses for kids, and I think it is truly a great place to visit.
Great value!

First impressions are very misleading the outside looks okay but once you get inside man is it cool as hell it really is worth all the money. $ 30 a person isn’t too much money to spend on your family to go out have a great afternoon. If there a haunted house with only one person working did this good all season I can’t wait till Halloween. Way to go go see man are you got an A plus in my book I’ll be back

Looking for something to do with a toddler and we settled on Ghostly Manor. We did not do the haunted house because I don’t think it’s toddler appropriate. We also didn’t try to the skating rink.
We did do the «3D» putt putt which was alright; it was fun but putt-​putt isn’t really my thing. The arcade was ok. The «4D» movie thing was probably the best part. But I would say everything is overpriced.
They have a lot of bounce houses and a decent sized play area. If you have a couple toddlers/​early elementary kids, they could probably entertain themselves for a while.
All in all, I had a good time, but I do wish everything wasn’t so pricey…

The best haunted house I have ever been to. It had the right about of thrill without trying too hard, and the actors in the house were top notch. I got the Trill Pass, which was well worth the price. If you want a good scare, take a walk through Haunted Manor.

Awesome haunted house!!!
Definitely one of my best haunted house experiences, and it only costs $ 11 per person if you only want the haunted house, as they have inside lots of other attractions such as skating rink, games, and mini golf.
It was a quiet day for the centre, so even though there was only one or two actors scaring the crap out of me, the house itself is so well made and organised, I completely screamed and jumped through the maze. Awesome value and length, highly recommended.
** we went in with this lady and her partner and she made good company as she was practically bawling not being able make it even trough the entrance!

Do not waste your money. Poorly run by a bunch of ignorant kids. Only one jumpy house was blown up at a time. You had to wait in line to go in one at a time. So ridiculous. The entire experience was terrible.

*Disclosure: I’m a blogger who was invited here to experience it this weekend.
I am so NOT a haunted house person, but I went here with friends and had a great time. I definitely did not go into the haunted house first — I stayed behind my friends — because it was SCARY! But also a good time. We also had fun playing mini golf, doing some roller skating, and seeing the 4D movie.
I would return to Ghostly Manor another time when in Sandusky!

after flat-​out refusal from my friends, i was forced into the front position of the 8-​legged, huddled mass that dared to delve into the INSANITY that is ghostly manor. unlike most haunted houses– which are pretty much just pitch black with the occasional coffin scene to the side or scary guy jumping out at you– ghostly manor puts you right in the middle of the action. exorcist-​themed room? how about you have to walk right around the bed? creepy autopsy scene? they make you weave in and out of all the exam tables. WATCH OUT! they might not all be dead… and then there was one sight, one sight so horrifying, we were stopped dead in our tracks.
«where do we go from here?»
a shrouded figure pointed to the wall of incredibly realistic-​looking body bags.
«uhh, NO.»
the figure pointed again.
«but there must be another way!» we pleaded.
the figure assured us that there was not.
so we took a deep breath and plunged in. this was not just a wall; this was a SEA. a most terrifying experience that is forever burned into my memory. i don’t want to talk about it anymore.
now all we wanted was a way out of this torture chamber. fear, exhaustion, and instinct must have pulled us through the rest of the maze, for no one remembers much of what happened after the bags.
we finally escaped, drenched in sweat, panting. in the middle of a… wait for it… skating rink. oh yeah, i forgot that’s how we came in. i could never have imagined what was lying behind the entrance to ghostly manor. i’m shocked that i’m the first to review this place. it is BY FAR the most elaborate, longest, scariest, and absolutely most fun and satisfying haunted house that i have ever had the balls to endure. next time you visit cedar point, save some time to get the crap scared out of you.
so yeah, i think i’m pretty much set on the haunted house front for the rest of my life. then again, i survived this, so really… what can’t i do?

I’ve been trying to wrestle with words to see if I could possibly convey the crazy time we had without divulging too much and spoiling the fun. I believe it to be impossible.
Suffice it to say that their efforts are impressive… enough to force a variety of alarmed and amused sounds out of the soft-​spoken me through simulated environs too much for my brain and poor, thwarted senses. Weaned on channel 20 Saturday horror flicks, I assumed I’d breeze through with a few startles. Instead I found myself walking the line of freakout and loving it!
I hope to return someday to take a slower trip through this dark, insane smörgåsbord. The folks ahead of us were as devoid of personality as they were full of speed, and for some primal reason I felt the need to keep up with them.
They also have an XD 3D theater (loved the haunted mine ride!), an arcade, and a skating rink. The huge dragon breaking through the front of the building is only the beginning. Stand too long near him taking pictures and get your first of many thrills!
