According to the Haunted Attraction Association which is the only official association in the haunt industry, Frightmare Farms Haunted Scream Park in Palermo (near Lake Ontario) is one of the top haunted attractions in the United States.

The Haunted Attraction Association recognizes members of the Haunted Attraction Association, such as Frightmare Farms Haunted Scream Park, based on a variety of criteria such as promotion of haunted attractions, protecting customers, and educating industry experts.  

Frightmare Farms Haunted Scream Park is also recognized for being the world’s very first sensory-inclusive haunted house.

The haunted attractions knows what people with sensory issues want and deserve to enjoy haunted attractions as much as those without sensory issues and so in 2016, Frightmare Farms Haunted Scream Park began to offer five sensory bags filled with noise-canceling headphones, blackout glasses, and other fidget tools as aids to those individuals who may experience sensory overload during a walkthrough of the haunted attraction.

By offering sensory bags, many who have never been able to experience a haunted attraction now are for the first time in their lives.
