The Efteling offers several different kinds of hotel and resort accommodations for the overnight guest, so what is it that makes the Efteling Bosrijk such a popular stay? Cozy cabins, rustic theming, great food and a storybook sense of place make Bosrijk far more magical than its price point suggests.
Planning a trip to Cologne? We recently spent a day in one of German’s largest and best-known cities, and with dozens of attractions and cultural touchpoints like Kölner Dom, Rhine River cruises, fragrance history, and a chocolate museum with functional production lines, there is no shortage of things to do during your visit!
Dark Acres is proof that passion can turn even the smallest haunted attraction into something truly extraordinary. What began as a small home attraction in upstate New York has evolved into a major production with pro-level sets, effects and scares. After thirteen years of scaring people on his front yard, its owner is now looking to take his “home haunt” pro.
Class is back in session at the Final Bell Haunted Schoolhouse.

This season's theme, Mother Grimwood's Appalachian Horror Stories, builds on the folklore of the Shenandoah Valley, offering an intimate, handcrafted scare experience unlike anything else in Virginia state.
After years of doing the same shoots over and over again, Laurel’s House of Horror invited us to hand over creative control to their team of ghouls and goblins and we leapt at the chance to do something a little different. What began as a wild experiment in narrative filmmaking became one of our most chaotic, hilarious and unforgettable haunt collaborations yet!
Fright Farm continues to be hailed as one of Pennsylvania’s most immersive haunted attractions, and with good reason! 2025 saw the haunt open for its 36th season with one of the largest, boldest and most ambitious themes yet, and we were invited out to see what PJ Marinelli and his team had “entombed” for their guests this year.

The National Aquarium in Baltimore houses more than 20,000 animals representing over 750 species and is one of the most visited aquariums in the United States. The aquarium allows guests to follow the journey of water from the mountains to the forest and back again in a linear experience that is equal parts relaxing and enlightening.
Busch Gardens’ Platinum Membership includes admission to Water Country USA, and we usually try to visit Williamsburg’s top waterpark in early June for lighter crowds and warmer temperatures. This time, we were ambushed by an unexpected cold front. So, the question becomes…is an outdoor water park still enjoyable when the mercury drops?
This Spring, Busch Gardens Williamsburg once again welcomed guests to its annual Food & Wine Festival, a popular seasonal event featuring a diverse range of global cuisine, live performances, and access to the park’s acclaimed thrill rides.

After missing most of Hera's inaugural events last year, we leapt at the chance to visit for their eggs-citing Easter special!
We’ve been to a lot of theme parks all over the world, so we know better than most that time is often quite literally money. With a limited amount of time in each park, we are often willing to splurge for the privilege of skipping the lines...but nothing compares to the VIP Experience at Universal Studios Hollywood. Was it worth $349/person?
April 2025 saw our return to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center for another year of Awesome Con, Washington DC’s biggest celebration of comics, pop culture and all things geek chic. A regular event for more than a decade, this convention has become something of an annual tradition for us; and we couldn’t have been more excited to dive back into the the atmosphere, the exhibitors, the cosplay, and everything else that makes Awesome Con awesome!
