Reviews of Lost Temple (Tourist Attraction)

Natalie Green

The owner is great. Super nice staff

Hartley Arsta

It took us less than 10 minutes walk through. It's like a haunted house for kids, nothing really scary, just dark.

Sarah Bright

Amazing for the kids

Bella

It was fun and kept you on your toes

Josh Brown

Girlfriend and I had an absolute blast! Don’t believe the other reviews. If you are a group of young adults looking for a fun and slightly spooky adventure, you can do no better than the Lost Temple. Friendly and in-character clerk at front desk, great scenery, this is one adventure you don’t wanna miss!

Pete Jones

Pretty fun for the price. I enjoyed it.

Chris Lauret

This was the biggest waste of money ever, do not go. Go spend on wizard quest or ripleys

Darol Obarski

Not worth the money.

Tom Wildenberg

Fun. Included with our mt Olympus stay. Done up for Halloween

lilybc

$5 was too much for this self-guided “tour”. The animatronics look like Halloween decorations that you could purchase yourself. There’s really no story, plot, or mystery, you just walk through the dark passageways which seemed kind of boring to me. The ladies restroom was absolutely disgusting. There were smears of waste on the floors and the trash can was overloaded with garbage. It clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a while. The employee who sold us our tickets was super nice though, and he cracked a few jokes, too. But in the end, this place is not worth it!!

Bennett Plumb

Very cheesey, did not like it. Only small moving store decorations type things

sylvia sylvia57

It was fun and very interesting, my family loved it and purchased the photos.

Connor O'Brien

A five-star place. An aspect of scary and fun. The desk manager was very kind.

Alexis dountio

No scary

Pammy Hartwig

Not very exciting at all. Boring 5 minutes attraction

Toad

This was completely awful not worth it what so ever! If I could rate it zero stars I would. Do not waste your money you could go buy ice cream instead! All I'm saying is do not go on it! Unless you like not seeing anything while your in there and stupid things that made no sense.

Melissa Contreras

We loved it! Great guy running the front counter, he gave the kids a good laugh and reminded them "not to be last!"

Jake Schutts

Was a fun experience

Nancy Acevedo

Must visit and do the maze kids loved it

Leafblower 86

It could be a bit better. For five dollars it's OK, ten would be no point and 1 would be worth it. A cool environment before the actual maze. And it's not really a maze, just a walk-through with 1 guy randomly popping out and shouting at you.

Amy Burgess

Pretty good as far as haunted houses go. We got in for free as a special from our hotel but it would have been worth a few bucks. I liked that there was a real person doing the scaring, not just automated noises. They were able to pick up on what scared us but also what made us laugh!

jmigonis

Take a picture of the outside it's the only interesting thing about the place. The only way I can describe the inside is like someone started an idea with after Halloween sale props and ran out of funding.

S Prudhvi

Not bad... Could have been better

alex martens

Imagine a haunted house attraction. Now break 80% of the animatronics. After that, dim the lights so that your customers can't see and will likely trip and contract a fatal disease from the filthy floors. Finally, ignore all required maintenance so that your lack of effort to maintain the building is obvious to anyone. Once you have done this, you have successfully imagined Lost Temple.

Michael Martens

Nothing but dark hallways and broken animated machines. Not a maze, not a mystery, just a long dark passageway you walk along for about 3 minutes and you're done. We asked the guy working the front desk before we went in what it was all about. I honestly don't think he even knew. He told my 6 year old to walk around and try not to get eaten by animals or something. Looks like they raided a bunch of old bankrupt haunted houses and stole a bunch of broken junk and put it in a long dark hallway. Seriously dumb. Even $5 admission is infinitely more than this was worth for 3 minutes of boredom

Chris Kelly

Awesome

Greta Martens

For $5 it's an ok experience. I wouldn't go again but it was kind of cool. Top Secret is better and the same price though.

cesar maturano

Nice place

W J

Boring. But for $5 what else can you expect. Note to owners, add some automation or a live person to scare, I had to make noise to scare my family otherwise it would be a waste of time.

Sai Yang

NEGATIVE STAR!! The most retarded attraction. There was litteraly nothing inside, only some dumb things that makes no sense. You walk in a extremely dark maze, which kids can hurt themselves. Spend your $$ elsewhere.

Christian Beltran

On the outside it looked thrilling, but on the inside it was pretty dark, and I couldn't see where I was going at times. There were some disorienting effects, I felt dizzy and uncomfortable at times, but it wasn't bad, it added to the kind if feeling of a wild adventure. It was pretty short but there were plenty of rooms. Some rooms had skeletons with moving eyes and talking people, the life sized models were really cool. Staff was nice, they answered some questions I had before I went in. I would recommend this for little kids, but for adults not so much.

Eric Rademaker

Not worth the $5. Walk through really dark path with turns, not scary for adults. You will be disappointed.

Amanda Torres

It's worth is on the $5 special days.

James Hembrook

I see this place has bad reviews. This is a great stop to take little kids. We actually had a fun time. It could is a little help such as clean up and fixing some props. We had some good laughs so the small charge was worth it to us. This is not very realistic for adult entertainment keep that in mind. We stuck to the main attraction they also have a human size maze to check out.

Cat Hair Not Included

this was really funny and me and 3 other people had a fun time laughing at all the cheesy things that you can get at your nearest Halloween superstore. Some things were clearly broken but it was still funny to laugh at. Also the maze part is separate from the temple and costs an extra $5. I don’t know if I would go back to the temple again but I would be open to going to one of the other attractions such as Top Secret or Ghost Outpost.

Maria Lovely

I won't say i hated it. Decided to go since it was next door to the ghost outpost which did suck!! Could of been longer. Cute activity for the kids. Beginning to end took about 15 mins. If your kids are older then 10, i would skip it.

Jesse Pederson

Sign on the front stated hours from 10am - 11pm. We arrived at 10:30am and it was still closed.

Margaret Carlson

Not scary and for the price it was fine. Nothing jumps out so for me thats ok.

krystal gaston

You can't beat the price of 5 dollars a person. It was fun and scared the kids it was more like a really dark haunted house the only difference was no one jumps out to scare you.

Maya

Nothing interesting about this place. Dont let the exterior fool you. Not exciting, not scary. Pitch black darkness. Waste of $5.

Dan Vale

Hit up the go-carts instead!

Marissa Wilson

Basic follow the leader style "maze". Mildly amusing. A couple things may make you jump just because of surprise factor.

Kari Althoff

I know it was a low cost activity, but we felt like nuisance by the behavior of the one person staff. We were they only ones there. Made something fun for the 8 year old, but the rest of us would have passed on the fun if we had known.

Kat Robertson

After checking out the website we though, "hey- ten bucks for us two adults and the boys (both five) are free! Awesome right? Wrong. I walk in and he charges us full price for the kids and very crudely says the prices have changed. Though the website wasn't update. I think if you have advertisement you should follow it. And if you can't, at least be courteous and have decent customer service. Won't be going back.

Ian M

Okay, so this is right by Ghost Outpost, which by the way, don't waste money on the Ghost Outpost either! But getting back to the Lost Temple, it was nothing like we thought it would be. All it did for us was waste $25 for a group of 5. I am a teenager, so of course I get carried away with what the buildings say and I keep forgetting that all they do around here is take money from you when the places aren't worth it. The "tour" isn't that great, plus, if you really want a tour, then just don't wait for a guide and go by yourself. It wasn't even scary, plus it was very boring. I will admit though, that the only fun part was the spinning tunnel. It was a very laid back experience, plus you'd better watch the signs at the pay desk. There are no refunds! So if you are wanting to do something fun in the Dells, just skip the "attractions" and go to the waterparks! The only thing that the attractions around here do is attract the money out of your pocket.

Shane Grojean

Very poor quality, the haunted Mansion is a much better value and actually has decent props.

Reynaldo Rosales

Great place to walk through with the family!!! A little excitement for the fam!

Javi B

Only did the lab rat maze. It was good for the kiddos.

Josey Sanchez

My friend and I have a great time please be open minded and have fun get a group of friends allways fun is dark and the front desk guy is super kool. We have a blast.

Emily Smits

It was okay. I ran into a wall twise. Pretty dark. I'd personally only pay $5 bucks. Anything more isn't worth it

Oralia Muro

Great place for a 5-6 years old. Older kids don't seem to get excited, and adults not excited at all. Not many things to see. It looks nice from the outside. Short path in the inside.

kyle RICHARDS

Waste of money

Ry2d2

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY !!! TOOK 5 MINITES TO WALK THROUGH IT'S JUST A VERY DARK PATH SUPER LAME STAY AWAY!!!

Heather Martin

Worst of the three fun house attractions: Lost Temple, Ghost Outpost, and Top Secret. Fun idea, but little thought went into the concept. A lot of the animatronics were hard to hear and understand. The Dayo song was so loud it drowned it all out. However, still better than what some reviews would make out.

Mason Maeder

Fun, good for the price. Pretty much what you would expect. Lost temple was very dark and lab rats maze was hard. Good, quick place to stop if you have time to burn.

Paola Damiani

I loved it for 5 dollars it was pretty cool

Booboo Kitty

Fine for very small kids.

Jeremy Yenor

Super fun only 5 dollars

Melissa Hammell

Not bad for $5, the kids liked it.

overthefence100

Really short experience and low quality. Just sort of a funny gag and pretty cheap

Dina

Looked promising on the outside but was very dated and not interactive. On the positive side entrance was only $5

Ian Luedke

Litlary garbage. One of the worst places in the dells. Never come here.

Lisa Laughlin

Don't waste ur money on this. Was a mindless walk through activity. Go to Wizard Quest. That was an amazing one of a kind experience.

Maddas nine

It was totally worth the money to see my kids get totally freaked out. They were terrified. And I spent the extra money on the maze cause it was surprisingly lot of fun for our family.

Shawntay Boyles

Nothing but fun

H T

Very quick tour, did not find worth the money.

ade folly

Nice place but scary all d way

Matt Taylor

Worth a fiver to see some silly mannequins in peril. My sub 8 year old group found it scary.

Madonna Wheeler

Had a BLAST with my kid very reasonable priced at $5 and great time!

Travis Theobald

Kids really liked it. As good or better than a carnival fun house, and @ $5/person, it's about the same price. Glad we went.

Shane Heller

Waste of money

Scott Landy

The outside of the temple is one of the best parts. The inside is a poorly lit path through the "temple". There is really nothing very scary. The most startling part is the loud sound from the compressor that moves the spider-like object. $5 is about the right price, but wouldn't pay more, and wouldn't go back.

Matt Kirsch

This is like a haunted house only with a pyramid adventure vibe...My 8 year old who is pretty fearless was absolutely terrified and when we got to the dizziness inducing tunnel of blacklight I broke a flip flop and felt like I was going to tip over. It could use some updates but was pretty dang fun! Check it out, why not.

Jasper Jonson

For $5 per person, with an 8 and 10 year old, it was worth it. If we were just adults, I might have preferred putting my money towards something else.

Amanda Ybarra

There isn't that much to it, but admission is $5 so you definitely get what you pay for. It's a quick fun walk kind of like a lower level family friendly haunted house.

Georgie Atkins

Not impressed, but for a quick little activity, walk through, $5 is cheap

Tandra Breitzman

Do not waste your time and money. Not suitable for children, very dark walk through with no guidance. My group and I thought it was more like a terribly failed horror house.

April Kovars

It's what you pay for. Just a quick, fun, cheap entertainment. Nothing to really make you go wow. Could have been updated and changed up quite a bit.

Michelle Ancona

Another waste of time, half price thank God.

Clayton Krueger

Waste of time and money

Matt Waddell

Everything including the floors were sticky. Make sure to get a tetanus shot before visiting this attraction. I’d rather spend $5 on a lottery scratcher and win nothing than go back.

Susan Fleitas

It was a fun attraction with a little scare. It was worth the 5 dollars. Took fun pictures and it was very memorable.

Jimbo R.

The Lost Temple is a good attraction to take the kids. If your night vision isn't very good you may end up walking into some walls.

Amanda Lynn

You just walk through dark hallways, nothing really fun or interesting to see.

Kyle tietz

Fun time and cheap

Vinny

Probably one of the better places to go in the Dells if you're looking for a legit scare. Me and my friend (being two crazy college kids) just stopped by and didn't expect much, but not 5 minutes in and we were both screaming. Guy that was working when we went was super friendly. If you're looking for something spooky especially since it's fall right now, I'd definitely give it a try!!!

William Albrecht

Kinda cool not good do young kids

____

It's good for ages probablu around 10 and under

Kevin Spice

It's almost too dark. Could've been empty rooms pretty much and you can't tell. Some parts okay. Kids were scared as hell so it could be a good or bad thing depending haha.

Liz Barber

For $5.... You get what you pay. It's a fun, quick attraction for kids and adults alike. We went in on our way out of the Dells with no expectations and had an absolute blast. I would recommend to families who have a little bit of time and want something different.

Kate Beth

For $5 it's not horrible

Universe

Great walk through for $5!

Joy E

So much fun!! Creepy tho something do with friends and family

GameWizard _

It's extremely dark and hard to see any thing without a flashlight. It is just a look around walk, not very exciting. Would be better if it wasn't as dark, or if it had special effects.

Chad Griffiths

For a $5 admission it is not a bad way of spending 15 minutes. Do not go in expecting anything like Wizard Quest. It is a short, dark walk around twists and corners with a few lights and gimmicks.

Amanda Beeney

Price is Right, staff members today wasn't very friendly... She was pretty grumpy... Worth taking a look at it...

Steven Lutchen

It was fun for the kids. I kinda like it too ..

Michael Cha

It was fun

Pau pau

I went with a free ticket from the upside down white house. I wouldnt pay and I found out why it was free. Best part was the outside. It was a hot mess mix between wanna be haunted house and a bunch of mess. Not kid friendly very dark.

Kedzie Arnold

We loved it. Thought it was pretty awesome. The little people were a tad scared. Be careful that they can deal with the darkness.

Meg St Peter

Literally a waste of money. My son was terrified and did not enjoy it at all. The exhibits you see don’t even all make sense with the temple/adventure theme.

Marvin L Sims

Great time better than before

Erik Maertz

The staff was GREAT!!!!!! The amusement itself was about what you would plan to see!!

Mark Drake

Like a haunted house

Bryan Christensen

Fun scare place to walk thru. For $5 it's worth checking out

Babar Muhammad

Absolutely fantastic! Cool story to follow with neat props! Would definitely recommend to use your phone flashlight to avoid bumping into the dark halls, and to see all the details of the props, but other than that, it was amazing, and very fairly priced! Lots of fun for all ages, and if you're going, you CANT miss it! WAAAAYYY better than the nearby Ghost Outpost "Haunted" House!

Tera Rodriguez

Fun for the whole FAM!!!

J Y

Hoaky but fun! :)

Caleb Strickland

Honestly 5 dollars is too much. It is just walking through a building that has been turned into a windy walk path with some plywood. The animatronics are cheep and cheesy. The best part was the end. If you enjoy throwing away your money this is the place you want to be.

Donald Werle

A bit cheesy. Was not expensive and was part of a local deal, so I could not expect my socks to be blown off. It was interesting and fun to experience with the family.

Leticia Foulker

This is not worth the $5. You can't see anything while walking through because it is so dimly lit. The turning tunnel is not a good idea for anyone with vertigo or queasy stomach.

Vero Mart

Enjoyed it !

Ben Dehn

Save your money and go to haunted house next door.

David Roberts

Lost Temple is pretty cool I guess. Our youngest found it creepy, which I think is the point of the experience. The rest of us thought it was worth doing.

vulkee vang

Quick fun experience!

Annie Pence

Was kid friendly for our 7 year old.

debbie westphal

Waste of $20 and 15 minutes. Wish I could get all of it back.

Terry Schuelke

It's more of a haunted house then anything. Took my son there that loves puzzles and mazes thinking it would be like Indiana Jones.

Curtiss Thomas

Scarry and funny

Sharon Sisk

It was a blast. Not too scary, but a lot of fun.

Zaccary Butts

Other reviews are on point. What do you really expect for 5 bucks. It was neat the kids were scared. But why the heck not it's a good way to kill twenty minutes.

Shawna DeBlieck

Pretty cool place!

Shanna Gossage

We got a free pass from the Upside down White House for The Hiddle temple. We went to the hidden temple. 4 of us (one is 5 and should be free). We forgot we had the free pass so the price came to $16.25. When we remembered the free pass and handed it to her she changed the price to $16.10. We told her it should be $5 less because of the pass and she told us no only 3 and under were free. We felt it was a scam so we handed our free pass to the people behind is and left. Won't be going back.

Phil Dennison

Just. Wow. If it were free. . .

Kylee Black

Very fun and scary. The maze was a little disappointing though.

Michelle V

Didn’t think it was gonna be like a haunted house

Bruce Chapin

This was fun.

Jeremy Warner

Had a really good time here, make sure to force the little ones to go first!

Bink Bink

Kids had fun

Carl Easley

Good times in the Dells. We played in the temple for a little while taking goofy photos and just having fun. The man at the front desk was cool, and let us walk through the maze out side also.

Carlos Cejudo

Meh!

Dustin Kilpatrick

$5 a person may be a bit steep but it was okay. I can imagine that it gets better around Halloween and other special events. I might come back and see it again if they're running a special or something. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend a flashlight if you've got kids because they may get a little freaked out by some of the decor.

Tree Navigatior

Kids had a blast

Sala

I love horror films and wowwww this actually gave me a fright! If you have a lot of imagination definitely come to this place! Make sure you have someone to hold on too! Lol

Sue Oehler

This is truly a you get what you pay for experience. I think for the five bucks it might be worth bringing in little kids but for grown adults not so much

Stacie Banonis

Really fun, but maybe not good for young kids.

WailOfDoom

A spookish self guided tour. Better than Top Secret. Both of these would be better if the creators actually had an ounce of knowledge in creativity and immersion creation.

Jason Gieraltowski

Price of 5 dollars was right for a short tour
