Summary:

The Ravens Grin is not your typical haunted attraction; it is so much more. At this event, you won't find the typical things that you commonly see at other October attractions like spinning vortex tunnels, chainsaws, and strobe lights.  It is basically a haunted fun house with an interesting mix of scares and humor.   Over the years, the structure itself, which was built in 1870, has been everything from an Oldsmobile dealership to a brothel. Now for the past 25 years or so, it has been a unique haunted attraction, created by the wonderfully twisted mind of the owner, Jim Warfield.  

Another thing that sets this attraction apart from other events is the fact that the building is actually haunted.  At the beginning of the tour, patrons learn about the history of the building, including some of the supernatural occurrences that have been witnessed there. Throughout the years, customers have seen ghostly images, brightly colored orbs, as well as experiencing various other supernatural phenomenon.  

On their trek through the Raven's Grin, customers wind their way through coffin shaped hallways and underground passages, encountering a unique collection of interesting artwork and displays along the way.  There are also a couple of fun slides inside the house, which the Ravens Grin has become famous for.  The slide in the "Bad Dreams Bedroom", which is quite an intense experience, stretches from the top floor of the house, down to the stone-walled wine cellar, 24 feet underground!  It is definitely a thrilling ride and it's worth going to the Ravens Grin just for that experience alone.

There is also an outdoor portion of the tour, which really enhances the overall creepy feel of the event. Patrons get to see the remains of Jim Warfield's crashed spook-mobile, as well as walking through his tomb. There is also a new display outside, which is creepy and otherworldly.  One of the great things about the Raven's Grin is the fact that you always see something new every time you go there. The show is constantly growing and evolving.

The Ravens Grin Inn is an amazing attraction; the words in this review just don't do it justice. It is an event that you must see for yourself. This attraction is nationally renowned and for good reason.  It has been featured in various television shows like "Wild Chicago", "HGTV Extreme Homes" and Comedy Central�s �Travel Sick�, as well as in countless news broadcasts and various books. It is unlike any other attraction that I've ever seen. The Ravens Grin is scary at times and funny at others... and is always highly entertaining! Be sure to put this attraction on your "must see" list. They are open year-round!      

Note: The best time to visit the Raven's Grin is in the off-season, when you can avoid the huge October crowds and get a more lengthy, in depth and personalized tour. If you visit on non-October dates, you also have the benefit of Jim Warfield, the creative force behind the Raven's Grin, guiding the entire tour. Because The Raven's Grin is open year-round (301 days a year), you can drop in nearly any day for a tour!
