Tips & Advice
- Purchase tickets in advance, especially for popular dates, as $13.99 and $15.99 tickets have sold out for previous years.
- Consider purchasing a 'Respawn Pass' if you want to experience the main attractions more than once.
- The 'Phobia: Sensory Overload' experience is highly physical and requires guests to use their hands to navigate, so wear comfortable clothing.
- Two secret bars, The Warden's Office and Neon Cowboy, offer themed cocktails and shots, but are 21+ only and require valid ID.
- Even if it rains, the event proceeds as there is partial indoor waiting, though lines may extend beyond covered areas on busy nights.
