"They do a great job honoring the indigenous people that lived on the land long before the amusement park was there. And the old amusement park is fun to explore also."
"Cool explore with a lot of local history and tragedy. Chris is a fantastic guide. Recommended if you are into paranormal"
"Quite possibly one of the best tours I've been on. The area itself isn't huge, but you get a great tour, Chris was fantastic and was possibly the best tour guide ever. He was knowledgeable, funny and urged you to look at everything. The amusement park is beautiful in its own unique way. Disregarding paranormal, the history is interesting and certainly makes me wanna come back. Still going through pictures from Friday. Hopefully post more shortly. Thanks again for everything. Possibly one of the coolest places in North America."
"Pure awesomeness! If you enjoy the paranormal, Lake Shawnee is for you!!! Scheduling a visit isn’t hard. Call the number listed and leave a message. You will receive a text back from Roger. He will give you all the information you need for your visit. Day time tours area $38, overnight visits are $100. I’ve done both, absolutely worth it. You will meet Chris, he is your guide for the day. He tells you the entire history of the park & sounding lands. He then goes into the history of the amusement park & why it is haunted. I don’t want to spoil anything for you but I’ll give you some items to bring. Loose tobacco as a offering for the Native American spirits, helium balloons on strings or ribbons & pinwheels. You won’t be disappointed."
"Done the day tour last year (2022) and just returned from doing the overnight stay (Aug 5/6, 2023). I would recommend both. Chris, our guide, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. He made sure our visit was pleasant. Love visiting this historic site and will most likely go back next year."
