HHN RIP Tour - Short Review

Cantcook · 8 Nov 18, 03:15 AM

If you’re ever visiting HHN, I highly recommend the RIP Tour passes. They come with express passes for the attractions and then you’re escorted around in a small group to all the houses. You literally walk into each house with no wait. You tend to do about 45 minutes before having a break. The breaks consist of a private bar and private toilets.

You end up walking a lot less as a lot of the houses are right next to each other but you usually have to walk the exit and then re-enter to the next queue. With your private guide, you walk the easiest route often going behind the scenes.

Worth noting that they offer this service during the day too, and at only double the cost of Express, I’d say it’s incredible value.

I second that. For the time you save and being able to see everything on offer in one night I thought it was excellent value.

I'm interested in doing this at some point! Do you have to buy the RIP tour on top of your entrance ticket?

Looking to book this next year for my husband and daughter, so it's good to hear that it's worth it

Yes you have to buy entrance tickets as well. Although it’s anlot of money when I saw the queue for the houses I’m not sure I could do it any other way in the future.

The prices changes per date, but for us it was $100 more each than Express. Included in that was valet parking, food and soft drinks. Now, valet parking and soft drinks were useless to us, but if they’re of use you to you, you should consider them in your cost calculations.

Never done Express tickets in US in the past but felt for our first visit to Hollywood US HHN last week it would be the way to go... so glad we did... have to say never laughed so much in all my life... great fun night and brilliant looking back at the videos today... amazing what panic does to people... ha ha ha!

My kids did the RIP this year and raved about it, not cheap but definitely worth it

I'm sure it was a lovely splurge, but just for the flip side, we did express pass and did everything without paying extra. Yes you have to walk, but we could also pause for breaks whenever we wanted. They also didn't scan out express passes at the start of the night while it was quiet, so we could have gone on 3/4 more mazes without queuing had we wanted to. We also went for drinks when we wanted, sometimes doing one house, then one drink then another house and another drink which wouldn't be possible with VIP.
