The Curley's Haunt - Wilmington, Delaware

This place was great! I went with my mother & 6 year old son. The actors & scenes were both scary & fun & the front staff were really friendly. It only cost $10 & was a short drive from our PA home. I can't say how long it took us to go through but it seemed pretty lengthy. I would highly recommend & I will be returning next year & beyond!

It was easy to get tickets and park. Easy location to find. This haunt was VERY well put together and thought out for being in a yard in a residential neighborhood. The noises, lights, props, and actors were amazing! I enjoyed Curleys Haunt more than some attractions that I’ve paid $50 for. I’d absolutely recommend going. Well worth the money spent!!

Sorry this is so long, but we loved this place. It is legit in a residential neighborhood and from the outside unassuming, and for $10 I didn’t expect much — but the reviews were good so we took a chance and drove from Philly. I bought tickets for 7 people, but my friend and her kids were unable to go so it was just three of us, all in our 30s. When the friendly guy at the ticket booth noticed that we only had three in our group, he offered us really awesome spooky Curleys Haunt t-shirts as souvenirs to make up for it! We didn’t make a fuss or ask for a refund or anything like that—he just offered and we thought that was such a nice gesture.

My friend made the mistake of telling them we wanted it to be very scary, because the group in front of us was a mother and her young son. The friendly guy at the booth used his head set and said “We got a group that wants it scary… yeah, REALLY SCARY” .. and boy did they deliver. There was a point where I got so scared I couldn’t bring myself to walk through one of the rooms— my friends had to help me because I was covering my entire head with my jacket balled up in the corner of the room at the scariest point (for me) 😅. We were acreaming our heads off and laughing up a storm (at ourselves for being so terrified) by the end, and I was legit shaking for ten mins afterwards.

We did Eastern State Penitentiary two weeks ago and while ESP has very high production, it’s almost 5x more expensive — and Curleys was 100% scarier. The actors from, imo, the scariest part chased someone from the group that was behind ours through the exit and down the street.. right towards me… I was so scared all over again (but all in good fun) that I was shaking my friends locked car door handle screaming PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR!!! My friends got a real kick out of that one. WE LOVE YOU CURLEYS.

*I will note that if you’re claustrophobic or have bad eye sight (like my friend that I pushed to the front of our group haha), it’s pretty tight in some spaces, and sometimes you’re not sure which way to go because it’s so dark in a few spots… to me it added positively to the experience but just heads up to not let your blind as a bat friend lead the way 🤣🤣🤣

Genuinely so terrifying. Was screaming my head off and loved the variety of areas to go through. The chainsaws and clickers were the scariest, I was sprinting at the ending just to get out of there! Crazy how they build it right out of their backyard, looks super professional and extremely well made. Love how money raised is partially donated to breast cancer as well. Great attraction, great year and well done to the actors!!!

This place is AMAZING!! It was way beyond what I expected it to be. Not a long wait time. You only go in with your group which I absolutely appreciated. The actors did an amazing job and I loved the set up. I’m in my 30s and I was genuinely scared. I can’t wait to bring my children next weekend.

This has been one of my favorite haunted houses ever! I’m huge on reviews for haunted houses and I was a little hesitant because I saw that the haunted house was located in a residential neighborhood and that the attraction itself was only ~15 minutes long (this is stated in the website) since I’m used to going to haunted attraction complexes with 4-7 haunted houses. HOWEVER, this haunted house was PERFECT! The actors were really creepy/fantastic, the scenes changed often, the suspense was HIGH the whole time, and even though the attraction was truly ~15-20 minutes, my boyfriend and I were scared the ENTIRE TIME! I would 100% recommend and am definitely visiting again!

I honestly don't even know where to begin. This was the best haunted house I have even been to! Scares began from parking the car on the street😳😂. So pleasantly surprised! No one expects this from a neighborhood house. Congrats to everyone that played their part in this! My kids were terrified🤣. I give props to all the actors because they went full force when they saw you weren't too scared but if they saw someone was truly not feeling well they backed off and didn't push it too much. 110% coming back to this every year! Thank you all for the screams!😱

What a pleasant surprise. More scarier than some of the haunted houses I've been to, really nicely designed and they really keep you entertained with all the jump scares. Totally worth a visit and we will be back next year!
