- Dress in layers and wear closed-toe shoes, as the event runs rain or shine and involves outdoor terrain that can be uneven or muddy.
- Consider purchasing tickets online in advance to save a few dollars and potentially reduce wait times at the box office, though at-door tickets are also available.
- Be aware that this is a high-scare attraction; if you or someone in your party is easily frightened or has certain health conditions, it may not be suitable.
- Review the extensive list of rules before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, as violations can lead to immediate removal without refund.
