Illustration of a spooky old house with glowing green windows under a full moon, with dead trees, a fence and a stone path (13th Gate Haunted House)
VERY SCARY

13th Gate Haunted House

Visitors navigate a massive 40,000-square-foot attraction featuring 13 nightmarish realms designed with movie-quality set design and special effects. The walk-through leads guests through an abandoned asylum, dark underground tunnels, an outdoor zombie-infested graveyard, and a pirate ship. Along the path, guests cross a rickety bridge suspended over live snakes while encountering live actors and moving floors.
