Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear to the Carnival of Horrors?
Dress comfortably for walking, running, and screaming! Comfortable shoes are a must, and consider layers for changing weather. Remember, it's dark and scary, so dress like it's your last day on Earth!
What happens if it rains?
The Carnival of Horrors operates rain or shine! The spooky atmosphere is enhanced by inclement weather, making the experience even creepier.
Can I get a refund if I get too scared?
All sales are final, and no refunds are issued. The goal is to scare you, so if you get scared, they've accomplished their mission!
Will the actors touch me?
Actors are instructed not to touch guests, but in the dark, it can sometimes happen. For a more interactive experience where actors will engage with you more intensely (without aggressive handling), consider the 'Extreme Terror Touch Pass' for ages 18+.
Are there food and drinks available?
Yes, there is a food truck on-site offering various options, and they also sell drinks. Everything is described as 'scary delicious'!
