I've been trying to get my two older kids (8 & 10) to attend either HHN or Knott's Scary Farm with me. Neither ever wanted to try TWD Attraction, even though I'd ask them every time we're near it. They've seen the decorations during the day and never seemed to be too scared of it, no matter how graphic they were. In fact, I've pointed out where scare actors might hide from you and then on subsequent visits, they'll try to hide behind those barriers and scare each other or me or my wife. As much as they'd like to watch any video clips on our phones or iPads, they won't even watch a video of a maze.
While I'd never force them to participate in something they're not comfortable with, I'm curious to know how old (or young) you were when you attended your first 13+ Halloween haunt or maze. I didn't start until high school, but I know some elementary kids do attend with their parents.
Also, what was your experience like? Were you traumatized for life? I know these non kid-friendly haunts/mazes are intended for those 13 and over, but that's a general warning and is subject to how comfortable a younger kid may feel. I'm just really looking forward to sharing the experience with my older kids soon.
I don't peruse the horror threads much here, but I've noticed that some younger posters do go with their parents.
