Tips & Advice

- Dress for the weather and wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes, as both the attraction and waiting lines are outdoors and may involve walking on grassy areas.
- Consider attending during the PG-13 hours (7-9 PM) if you prefer a less intense scare, or brave the R-rated hours (after 9 PM) for a more extreme experience.
- Tickets are timed, but actual entry time may vary; be prepared for potential slight delays and remember that no refunds are issued after entering.
- The attraction is open rain or shine, but operations may pause during heavy rain, so check conditions if severe weather is forecast.
