Bayville Adventure Park

The ice cream parlour feels like you are at Disney.

Went for the St. Patrick's Day event this weekend and it was absolutely terrible. We had tickets for the deluxe package which was a St. Patrick's themed dinner, the 3 themed haunted houses and a speed pass for the lines to them. The dinner was at shipwreck tavern, they said you need a reservation time but that meant nothing! Waited over an hour to be seated, they already ran out of half the food on the menu and took another hour to bring out appetizers. Other tables never got their food, sent it back because it was cold, waited an hour just for a drink etc. We told them to box up our dinner because the park closes at 11pm and we still didn't get to the haunted houses and it was 940pm. Eventually they brought it out and we went to the attractions. There was nobody in line or inside the houses. They only had about 5 actors for all 3 attractions trying their best to run through and reach you but its a lot for those few people. There was no leprechaun themed decoration no costumes it was a regular Halloween attraction. This was clearly a money grab from management. They should never have opened if they didn't have the staff to do it properly. This was an embarrassment to the park which supposedly has such a great reputation for being so scary. Absolutely horrible experience! Save your money! And we ate the food the next day and everyone was sick from it.

Perfect size park for our family.

Agree with other recent reviews, this isn't really worth the price of admission. Waited in line for at least 2 hours before making it to the attractions. Social distancing happens inconsistently here and there. The staff keeps calling out that people need to social distance, but don't really enforce it further than that. I understand the difficulties of maintaining an attraction like this while trying to adhere to the new guidelines, and people don't always listen, but it seems efforts are minimal. Kept seeing people breeze through with the fast pass, but my group did not want to spend extra money per person when we already paid the steep entrance fee. Also paid for axe throwing, which my group did not get to do. They had closed that attraction by the time we finished the main attractions. Our time slot was 10p, and we didn't finish the main attractions until 1:30a, and everything else in the park was already closed. The present staff could not advise on refunds for axe throwing; they had no idea at all. The attractions themselves were simply alright for the most part. There were a few good scary moments and a few excellent actors, but the majority of the time was spent walking through halls of props and seeing all the other participants walking through as well. Especially at the last two attractions, it mostly seemed empty like the actors had left to go home. This was definitely a unique experience, but not one I would particularly like to repeat or encourage other people to take part in.

Fun time for all.
