The story

About Northern Illinois Fear Fest

in is a multi-attraction Halloween destination that has been frightening visitors for more than two decades. The event combines three separate experiences at one location: a Haunted Barn, a Haunted Hayride and the Creepy Carnival. That mix of indoor and outdoor scares gives guests a varied night, moving from enclosed haunted environments to a ride through the darkness and carnival-themed horror. The attraction promotes itself as a full evening destination rather than a single, with separate admission available for each experience as well as a triple pass covering all three. Its location makes it convenient for northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin visitors, helping it serve as one of the larger seasonal haunt destinations near the state line.

One of the best haunted houses in the area! The scare actors were great and made this a great experience from the line to the houses. Shoutout to ‘Stewart’ and ‘Jangles’ for making the line and hayride a fun experience! My only complaint is the lines are long and it’s a long wait. We arrived at 715pm on a Saturday evening the weekend before Halloween. We were done at 11pm with all 3 things. If we would have been any later we wouldn’t have made it through everything. They only have one tractor running for the hayride. This year the focus on the hayride was mainly people jumping up onto it and not much else. Overall it was a great time and really fun!

We bought a ticket to go all 3 haunts but only had time to go through 1... Seriously? We arrived at 8 pm on a Sunday. They close at 10. We waited in line an hour half just to go through one! They did say we could come back another night but unfortunately that was the only night we could attend. Very disappointed in spending so much money to not be allowed the time to go through what we paid for! There has to be a way to speed the line along. Or sell fast passes. What a disappointment. I do not recommend and I've been through plenty of haunts!!

It is a great haunted house. I love how they have 3 different attractions. Can't wait to go again next year.

Was not impressed with the Haunted barn or hay wagon ride. Gave up on the carnival, line was not moving so we left. Barn is mainly pitch black hallways, dated scenes, and nothing scary. Only 6 people at a time, we had a group of 8, so we split up. Hay ride, the bales of hay were so low you couldn't see over the wagon slat. A bench around the parameter of the wagon would make more sense. Gouls were "scaring" us by talking about taking our insurance card and how bald they were. First time there, will not go back. No refunds so we lost the money we spent on the carnival.

I paid to go the carnival, haunted barn and hayride. My group of friends split up. We went to the haunted barn first which was okay but we waited almost 2 hours in line. Then it was closing time and we didnt have time to go through the other two. They didn't offer us a refund either. Ive never been to a Haunted House where they didn't let paying customers go through everything.
