Tips & Advice
- Consider purchasing a Fast Pass ticket to bypass the general admission line and maximize your scare time.
- Dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be navigating extensive indoor and outdoor areas.
- If attending with children, assess their tolerance for intense scares, as the event is designed to be highly realistic and frightening.
- Turn off and secure your cell phone; it's easy to drop when startled, and lost items are only retrievable the following night.
- Check for discount coupons at local Michigan merchants before your visit to potentially lower the admission cost.
