Tips & Advice
- Consider purchasing a RIP Pass to skip the general admission lines, especially on busier nights, to maximize your scare time.
- Check their calendar for special event nights like 'Ladies Night' or 'College Night' for potential discounts or themed experiences.
- Arrive early, especially on weekends, as they stop selling tickets but continue running attractions until the last patron exits.
- If you're sensitive to scares, inquire about 'Scaredy Cat Badges' on-site to signal monsters not to target your group, though automated effects will still occur.
- Plan your visit for the 'Blackout' event on November 7th and 8th for an extra terrifying experience with only one glow stick in total darkness.
