Face the Fear - Gator Guardhouse Reviews

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!

Went with my 4 kids. Youngest 14 and oldest 19 and we all LOVED the haunt. It was our first time visiting and we Highly recommended checking it out. The hotel venue really adds too it. Great job guys.

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!

I am amazed at the unique experience my family had at Face the Fear. it was fun, a great show, a great story (that started while we waited comfortably and informally to go inside). Once we got inside, the building was great, it was nice to see inside the haunted hotel, and the scares were fun and creepy.

Be warned. If you want a cut them up, blood and gore, and easy nasty gross out event. This is not your event. But this is a smart, exciting, and well told scary event.

The true test for us is that we talked about what we had seen, heard, liked, and what made us scream all the way home. And that means it was a fantastic event.

Great story line lots of scares

October 2016

It was a creative idea and theme, but there was too much talking to develop the story and not enough scares. They talk to you outside for the hour or so wait. Then they prep you on the way up to the entrance. Then there's a dialogue right inside the door. I think that one was way too long. Then your tour guide talks to you for another few minutes before you even go upstairs for the tour. They lost my attention at that point. The room with the lady at the desk seemed a bit useless. I will say that you didnt really know what to expect from each room you went to so that was good. Overall, just not very fun this year.

Waited an hour and half for nothing. Such a waste of time and space of what could have been a great experience. My neighbors garage based haunted house was by far a much scary experience. I wish I would have stayed and continued to watch texes chain saw massacre.

October 2016

Getting amped up to visit the most haunted location in Florida. I can't believe they are letting the team from Face the Fear actually make a haunted building a haunted attraction. Year after year, Face the Fear has some of the smartest story telling you can find for these type of experiences. They do it so well and I have never been disappointed. This year the location is an added bonus. Can't wait to get scared and face my fears.

This haunted event was great. It had different elements. The house and maze were awesome. We loved the entire haunted event. Thanks.

October 2015

Went last year, enjoyed it with my son. This year went again with a few other dads/sons and everybody enjoyed the doll exhibit. Very creepy, but as a parent I like the 'no blood or gore' offering for my son. Great job by all involved.

October 2015

Visited this amazing scare fest and screamed my head off. Smart storyline, fantastic cast. Great effects and great attention to detail. The terrifying maze at the end where the digital infected stalked me was more than I can handle.

So glad I took my family and can't wait to see what these twisted scare machines dream up next

This was something I never expected and so original. The production was amazing, I was really blown away by it; especially for a small scale local haunt. The actors were definitely the star of this haunt. I cant wait to see what they do next year. So excited.

October 2014

We went last year, It started out good with all kinds of things about big foot, then just died out, the walk in the woods was ok, we were trying to have fun and get involved but not much to see and they were just pushing us through even though we were the only ones there.
May go again one day just to support Sanford.

Everyone from the second you enter the parking lot at this haunt is in character. Tons of work went into the event which I really appreciated. Great theming, detail, thought prep went into this haunt. All of the volunteers were great and the fact that it was a lengthy walk thru made the experience even better. This haunt is much better than some so called professional haunts ( Clay County ). This haunt was worth every bit of the $10 admission. You must check them out. Be sure to talk to the "tree huggers" picketing by the road! HAHAHA!

What can I say? I knew it wasn't real but when I saw the protesters I found myself swallowed up in this incredible world of Bigfoot Hunting where as I expected things went wrong. As I walked out into the very dark woods I knew what to expect, but it was so much better.

I love the details they included. I love the actors. I love the fact that I was scared and surprised. I love the fact that I was not insulted by some random screamfest but instead was a part of some great story tellers telling a fun, spooky, and scary story.

October 2013

This group does an amazing job in terrorizing people each year in a fun and safe way. The bigfoot live experience is going to be incredible. I have been watching as the construction of this event has taken place in Seminole County and can't wait to get inside to check it out.

This scare team does the best, the very best event in Central Florida each year and this year promises to be no exception. I am ready to Face my Fears and it might look like BIGFOOT this year
