Frequently Asked Questions

Will the actors touch guests?

Actors will not grab or touch visitors, though they may get very close. Guests are strictly prohibited from touching actors, sets, or props.

Are costumes allowed?

Costumes are not permitted for safety reasons and to avoid guests being confused with scare actors.

Are photography and video recording allowed inside?

No, guests must keep phones and cameras secured in their pockets at all times. Stopping to film disrupts the show and can result in ejection.

What is the age recommendation?

No one under 12 is permitted into the main haunt due to the extreme scare level, though all ages are welcome at the daytime Lights-On Tour.

Can guests leave early if it is too scary?

Yes, scare actors can direct guests to an emergency exit at any time, but no refunds are provided.
