Heartstoppers Haunted House 2021
Last year we visited Heartstoppers in Rancho Cordova and it was our first time venturing to a haunted house instead of a trick-or-treating event. My sons were 13 and 15 and were feeling ready to do something scary and thrilling. We loved that the well-costumed “residents” really got into character. The boys weren’t as scared as I was, but we all loved the experience and got into the Halloween spirit! This year we plan to try another haunted house and will report back.
