- Be prepared for a quick experience; the haunt is designed to be completed in about 17-20 minutes, so make sure to soak in the scares.
- If a child becomes overly frightened, inform a staff member; they have procedures to help you exit or manage the situation, though re-entry for adults is case-by-case.
