Know Before You Go

Tips & Advice

  • Purchase tickets online in advance, as popular nights sell out and no tickets are sold at the gate.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes and dress in layers, as the attraction is outdoors and can be cold, dusty, and muddy.
  • Secure all personal items like phones and keys in zipped pockets, as they are often lost during sudden scares.
  • Be prepared for an intense experience; it's more frightening than a typical indoor haunt and not recommended for very young children.
  • Arrive within your scheduled time window to be entered into the virtual queue for a smoother entry process.
