Customer Reviews
4.5This was a wonderful event. The ski lift ride was beautiful and the view from the tower was incredible. The ride to the tower from the lift was spooky and fun. The witch herself was very entertaining.
We were very disappointed. The paper said there would be food trucks,facepainting, pumpkin painting and vendors so we were expecting a really fall festival. We were very surprised that in fact none of that was there at all.
The ski staff were fantastic, friendly and helpful with the chair lift rides and the wagon ride. The history of the tower and the staff at the tower were great. We promised the kids hot coco since it was cold and none was to be found. We had to leave to have lunch. Very disappointing. The description in the Hippo press was not what was there.
Wonderful time..staff very friendly, everyone had a great time. The Witch of Weston Tower was amazing - my grandchildren had so much fun !
Super fun event! I took my son and his friend for the final day of the Witch of Weston Tower. The ambiance was great; the views at the top of the tower were really spectacular. We were lucky it was a clear and sunny day, so there was lots to see. As for the witch; we’re impressed! She needs a full time role at “Wicked!”. She engages with the kids well!
A fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Very well organized and had something for everyone! This was my favorite Halloween event we have attended. It wasn't overcrowded and it was safe and fun for my kids to run around. Can't wait to go back next year! And to go back and have a date night with my husband!
Great event for young families. We enjoyed the chair lift ride up and down, the wagon ride and, of course, the tower! Great idea to have a couple of outside games at the tower, too!
