Face the Fear - Gator Guardhouse

What a scary surprise! Face the Fear advertised a haunted trail and I can’t describe how scary it really was. There were people, prisoners, and creatures hiding in the swamp and that was just the beginning. By the time our group got to the prison cells we thought it was over, but then the scares were just ramping up. There we crazy people, scary people, and a maze.

The people who were out front at the ticket booth and snack bar were so nice. All of the terrifying people were waiting in the woods to make me scream. My wife said that I scream like a little girl. Last time I saw her she was still in the woods trying to get away from the prisoners there. Perhaps next year I will come and pick her back up. (I’m just kidding of course – she drove, so I had to wait for her to go home) It was a great night, a great time, and great scares – thanks

Just when I think they have done all they could do, the Face the Fear crew seems to find another notch of terror to take me to! I can’t recommend this event enough. I wish everyone in Central Florida could see it. It was cool.

I went right home and watched the new videos for the year. I heard some real practical stuff about handling fear and facing my fears with faith. My brother was afraid to go, but he did watch the videos and told me when he was done watching he now believed in Jesus. Even cooler. We are watching the rest of the videos on the website together. Face the Fear is still the best. Check it out

Came here tonight October 2024. We got here at 8:30 and signed in and they told us our tour would begin somewhere around 10:00 pm. Ok...
So get here early if you want to get a earlier spot.
I do have a small concession stand but no bathrooms.
So back into the car we went and headed to the Post Time to watch some music and go to the bathroom and get a drink.
We came back around 10:00 and they were ready for us.
The tour lasted probably 20 minutes. I can say it was different.. strange Good and hokey all at the same time. 😵‍💫😊🤔. I think the price is a little much for what you get but I get it is a church And you do have live actors doing a skit.
This year was about artificial intelligence gone wrong.
I enjoyed the walk through the woods and having the moss man jump out at you but it's dark back there so you got to be careful where you walk My dumb girlfriend more flip-flops. 👎. There was some dude dressed in a big spider outfit that was phenomenal I wish I would have got a picture of it.
You did get to ride on a little hayride down the road in the back of the truck so that was different.
Like I said it's was... unique.
I heard last year the theme was clowns I think I really would have liked that better than the AI artificial intelligence that one was kind of a little ho-hum.
But if you're in the area, got $15 and some time to kill go check it out!..👻. Oh and make sure you pee before you get there. 👌😬.

I loved it. Face the Fear promised double the trouble this year and they delivered. Clowns were funny and spooky, to be real - clowns freak me out. So I was heavy into the creep factor. Sasquatch on the other hand wiped me out. Great trip through the woods, great creatures, lots of screams and laughs and fantastic effects! Also, there were so many layers to the story, the time spent, it made my night and experience for me and my family. We were talking about it all the way home. Thanks!

This was by far the most fun I’ve ever had at a haunted house. It was amazing. The people were friendly and kind and the clowns were around every corner. The fact that it’s so personalized to your group and they don’t just try to push you through is so great. The take time and care with every group to make sure the customers adds satisfied with their experience. The makeup and masks were very realistic and horrifying. I can’t remember a time that I wasn’t screaming. It was so much fun that it was scary. Definitely worth the money. Going to make this a yearly Halloween tradition for sure. Thank you Face The Fear!!

What can I tell you? Loved it! I’m scared of clowns . I screamed , I laughed , and had the best time I can imagine getting scared . Highly recommend this haunt , too much fun. Also loved the DVD you get as an exit prize. How to deal with fear in the world today is very timely. This is a experience not to be missed

Clowns, clowns, and more clowns. If you aren't afraid of clowns you should be. Face The Fear has taken your scariest dream and made it real. I was totally surrounded by clowns of every kind.

The perfect blend of effects, dark places, a creepy funhouse that you can't escape, and did I say anything about CLOWNS!

Loved it, the wait was longer than I wished but the people who run it were great, they entertained us, the food was good, and I can't wait to see what they do next year.

Thank you Face the Fear!

This wasan awesome experience well worth the admosdion. My 12 year old was scared and I am an Army Veteran with a few combat tours under my belt and there were a few moments that gave me a startke. The actors truly gave it their all. Props to tbe historical society ladies for interacting while we were in line and setting the stage for what was yet to come. I will return with my family next year. We brought a group of young boys and we even left with candy!
