👍👍 Great location and easy to reach by cable car. The Halloween event is great. Really fun. Hats off to the organization. Unfortunately, this year you had to wait a long time, even though you bought your tickets online. The entrance should be organized differently. But that didn't dampen our good mood. People often mention children, Halloween, time, scary,

    Beautiful building, especially at Halloween time. Every year on October 31st, a Halloween party for young and old takes place around the villa.

    We are absolutely horrified!!! Our children today have most likely been permanently traumatized. NO minimum age specified and on the website it says "In order not to scare the younger visitors too much, they will be guided through the garden by good spirits between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., past any particularly scary situations. This means bad dreams on Halloween are out of the question.” We booked our tickets in advance. We were let in at 3:35 p.m., making us almost the first! Then (as our tour had already started), we were asked almost bluntly by an employee whether our children weren't too small for that (again: that's when it started - no turning back). I responded by quoting the words from the homepage (see above). Then again really unfriendly: “Well I didn’t write that!” And now about the tour itself: There was ABSOLUTELY NO CONSIDERATION given to children!!! They were frightened just like adults! A particularly bad situation was: A child who was running in our group was attacked(!) at a station, then grabbed and carried away. It screamed “Help oh no, please don’t, ahhh” loudly while kicking. It happened very quickly and everyone in our group was visibly shocked by this threatening situation!!!! Our children screamed, panicked (again: PANIC!!!), cried like there was no tomorrow and clung to mom. It was absolutely terrible! TERRIBLE!!! But our “guide” (who felt like he was only 15 himself) simply continued to lead us on the rope that we were all supposed to hold on to. We later understood that the kid who was caught (maybe around 9 years old) was himself an actor and was accordingly initiated. (????) How can you do something like that in front of young children's eyes??? It was an absolutely dramatic situation. The rest was correspondingly scary and not for children who, due to developmental and age-related reasons, can hardly distinguish between the fictional and real worlds. Who is responsible for the fact that the specified time for the little ones was not adhered to? We saw several children crying. Several!!! “So bad dreams are out of the question on Halloween.”????? I will inform myself legally and take further steps if necessary!

    Unfortunately we didn't get in, even though we bought a timed ticket in advance. Instead, you were shown away at the entrance with an additional waiting time of over 1 hour. Very bad event organization!

    Way too scary for children. It was specifically described that there is a children's performance for children in which the scary parts are not shown. All the little kids were crying. I cannot recommend it for children under 10. There was screaming and scaring and it looked very real. Addendum: Then please describe briefly on the website what you can expect so that the parents can assess this beforehand. It is not clear from the videos that the children are being shouted at and that one child is being dragged out of the queue. We didn't know that it was a teammate. This caused fear among the children. And an opportunity to stop the course would have been nice too. We were directed to a door, but it was locked.

    It wasn't too scary for us, great respect for the work that went into it. 2 stars deducted for the poor time management (long waits despite pre-booked tickets online) and the resulting hectic execution. The guide was very tight on the leash throughout. Little tip: sometimes less is more😉

    Eine super Location mit coolen Lichteffekten, gruselige und aufwendige Kostüme, sehr kurze Wartezeiten. Die Schauspieler haben sich viel Mühe gegeben und waren mit Leidenschaft dabei. Wir haben die Veranstaltung sehr genossen und freuen uns schon auf das nächste Jahr.

    Wunderbarer Halloween Abend. Trotz Corona Vorschriften, war es sehr schön und gruselig gemacht. Manchmal hätte es ein Stück langsamer gehen können. Man konnte gar nicht alle Darsteller komplett anschauen. Nichtsdestotrotz super gemacht. Wir kommen gern wieder. Ps. Die Tomatensuppe war auch lecker.

    Super gut und aufwendig mit Liebe zum Detail gemacht. Genau das richtige um an Halloween die perfekte Gruselstimmung aufkommen zu lassen. Großes Lob an alle Beteiligten für die Organisation dieses perfekten Events, wir waren sehr begeistert. Absolute Empfehlung und nächstes Jahr auf jeden Fall wieder!

    On the page it says between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. there will be guided tours by the good spirits past the very scary stations, especially for smaller children. That's why we came especially at this time (with advance tickets) with our kids 3 and 6. However, it was anything but described. On the contrary, our daughter (3) was extremely scared and even when she was already afraid to hide in her hat, an employee shouted at her and attacked her with the bone in his hand. We found this super unnecessary and absolutely NOT toddler-friendly! What's more, we paid the full price online because you couldn't specify your age there! At the entrance it said “Children under 4 are free”. Perhaps a special tour is generally offered for families with small children and not just for families of up to/from 6 people. There was absolutely no possibility of turning back or taking another route! We won't be coming back any time soon! It's a shame for our children and we were also looking forward to a nice, scary afternoon without nightmares (as also described on your site)! :(

    I have been a guest at the event for many years now and it gets better every year. Keep it up! What's nice is that it's not about commerce, but for a good cause. I like that!
