The Real Waverly Hills Reviews

 The 6-hour public investigation at Waverly Hills was an incredible experience. The guides were knowledgeable and respectful of the history, and the building itself has an intense atmosphere the moment you walk in. Having hours to explore areas like the body chute, the fourth floor, and Room 502 made the night unforgettable. Even if you don’t experience anything paranormal, the history and eerie setting make it worth it. A must-visit for anyone interested in haunted location

 Waverly hills is beautiful when you come up to it. All the tour guides were knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. All the ticket money goes to preserving the building.

 Loved the tour, Crystal was amazing!

 Such a neat part of history, they are doing such a good job with the upkeep. The tour was great! So much activity last night! We will definitely be back!

 Waverly Hills has always been one of my favorite places to visit. I can't wait to return in 2026.

 The tour was phenomenal. We went for the paranormal aspect and was very informative about the history. We had a blast and now want to come back for an overnight. Now that we have a lay out if the building and the hotspots we look forward to investigating. The tour guide was excellent and brought out the history and what triggers to use.

 Th Halloween even was well worth the trip. I can’t wait to return and do a full tour. I wish full tours were an option for the Halloween visits.

 There was contradictory info about which directions to follow between what was online and what was even provided with our tickets. We noted several others have trouble finding the correct entrance.

 Wonderful tour and experience

 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.

 My son and I had so much fun going through the haunted house! Loved the vendors and music too! We are definitely planning to come back next year and book other tours provided on the property. Such a fun time!!

 The experience was disappointing. The Deadman’s Ball happening when we arrived took away from the experience of the tour. The size of the group made it hard to hear the stories and made the noise level too loud. The projections on the building detracted from the creepiness of the time of year.

 Excellent!

 My friend, Morgan and I had an amazing time. The only thing we didn't like was when it a pitch dark and didnt know which way to go but it made for an amzing experience.

 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!

 I felt a smaller group would have made this a 5 simply because it was difficult to hear and for everyone to get close enough to what was being talked about at times. The guides were great! Simple directions on the website starting from the main road would be helpful, like turn into the golf course, first road on theleft. Even once we were in the correct location we didn't know because we weren't even sure the entrance was a road. We would return for one of the other events!

 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

 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.

 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

 The house was amazing! Actors were great and interacted with you. House was huge felt like it went on forever! Had a great time screaming and laughing from the scares. Cannot recommend enough if you're in the Louisville area. Check them out, your money goes to a great cause!

 Great tour. Crystal and Anthony were great guides and a lot of fun! Thank you all for everything you’re doing to preserve the property and share its history.

 We had a great time! Excellent tour!
