We went today, having gone last year and enjoying it. Although there was no mention of any rain in today's forecast, there was a brief shower. That was enough to delay the new 'zombie paintball bus' for at least two hours. Apparently the road that they go on was too muddy. This is their feature new attraction this year and one that is supposed to be the 'latest, greatest' attraction for places like this. We had already done the other things to do, so we didn't want to wait around doing nothing for such a long time, so we left. They should expect to have some rain during the 6 weeks they are open and make a non-muddy road for the bus to go on.The pumpkin cannon and corn shooting remain my favorite things to do there. I feel a little like I used to at Disneyland when I would buy the book of tickets and then end up coming home with "A" and "B" tickets. I bought the super combo ticket but did not do three of the attractions. The only good thing is that I used a coupon that saved me $6 per ticket. Note that their coupons decrease in value as you get closer to Halloween.Since I did not go on the zombie paintball bus, I would have saved a lot of money if I had taken my advice from last year and just bought tickets for individual attractions.
I've been many years and Fritzlers was always one of the best haunts in Colorado. I hadn't been in a couple years and this year I was sorely disappointed. The design was good, the actors great, the make up and decor up to par, but the group size they put people in was atrocious. A group of 11 people!? I think that is ridiculous for any haunted house. I'm an easily startled and scared person but the size of the group they put us in meant that the front half got all the scares and our half was left knowing what to expect. The maze itself was ok, but phase 2 (the haunted one) had barely any actors and we honestly only had one person jump out at us -- the rest of the time we would occasionally (not often) just see an actor walking around. It was obvious that they needed more actors for the maze section. I am so disappointed and upset that I wasted my time and money.
Arrived at 7 pm, paid $120 waiting in line no events open! Haunted house doesNot even open till 8:00 pm!
This was our fifth year going to Fritzler's and it never fails to impress. They have added a number of new things to both the general attraction and to Scream Acres. We are already planning on going back for year 6 next year.
My husband, friend and I went to the Fritzler's Corn Maze for a night of adult fun. We bought us a Haunted Super Combo, which had a ton of activities from the pedal cars, slide, Interactive Ghost Hunt, Zombie Paint Ball, Haunted and Non Haunted Corn Maze, Pumpkin Canon, and more. It was $35 per person but I believe it was well worth it. We had a great time at the Zombie Paintball! It was lots of fun. The haunted corn maze was fun and we almost got scared a couple of times but perhaps we are just too boring for that. Next year I plan on taking our kids during the day because of all of the fun activities that they would enjoy.
Activities for all ages and abilities, Fritzlers Corn Maize is a great day out. All in all, everything can be done in about 3 hours, excepting the mazes. Strewn with clues to help you find your way, we still spent a couple hours in Phase 1.The Corn Cops are there to help you, especially if they've seen you get stuck in the same circle. At night, the haunted maze (Phase 2) is a ball, with monsters (paid actors) jumping out of the stalks and following you about, sometimes for quite awhile! Again, if you come across the same monster 3 or more times, he'll probably point you in the right direction. By the way, both the monsters and the Corn Cops can be helpers should you get hurt. Scream Acres is a blast!!! A nuclear meltdown was in progress as scientists and soldiers attempt to hurry you through your "tour of the facilities", where you experience special effects, tactile changes, a rocking bus, and it all ended with the Vertiscope which makes you feel like you're spinning and tipping over. (For a final thrill, turn and look back at the way you came and you'll be reminded of your foolish days of drunken spins.)The Ghost Hunt is a fun precursor to the maze, also ending in the Vertiscope. The zombie hunt... well, there ARE targets, but they're metal oil drums.... one zombie behind a door walking along, and a final 'zombie' that you get to shoot the daylights out of as he stands there (or walks a bit) while you have your fun. That part was the big let-down, and why I gave the overall score a 4 star rating rather than a 5 star.Last bits: a variety of food is offered, all at fair prices, and all tasty. Ramps are everywhere rather than stairs, and don't forget to partake of the daytime activities!
Great for all ages. This year for an extra fee they even had a zip line and a few other climbing adventures that might appeal to the teens.
The maze was fun and there were plenty of helpers for when we got lost! The pumpkin cannon was cool and the kids loved it, but it cost extra and lines were long. There was not a lot to do for older kids.
Long lines but worth the wait for the experience! Scream Acres was terrifying! The clowns were horrific!
A bit out of the way for Fort Collins residents, Fritzler's is expensive if you don't have coupons.They are still the best in Northern Colorado though, but a couple others closer to Fort Collins are showing promise.
