From the reviews
Haunted trails great place for adults and kids to have fun. The putt putt course is amazing. no pictures really didn’t go this time, but been before several times. batting cages laser tag kid rides in the arcade, even though one was shut down and needed repair. overall a fun experience. A little pricey though.
Let me start off with a Big Thank You to Rosendo he's the Manager, if it wasn't for him this place would of gotten a one star!!! We came here for my nephew's birthday party and my niece.
I’ve been coming to Haunted Trails since I was a little kid and now I bring my own kids. I’ve always loved how different everything was from other entertainment places. The spooky haunted theme was always the biggest appeal to me, even as a kid. The go karts, laser tag, and game are my favorite.
Had flashbacks of being a kid and going to Haunted Trails in Burbank way back when. The Go Karts were a blast for the kids and mini golf was fun. Unfortunately I picked a really bad day to go because there were two EXTREMELY large groups of kids from either day care or church camp that were running amok.
