It's an annual Halloween event that transforms Rush Mountain Adventure Park and other local attractions into spooky experiences, including haunted cave tours and night rides on attractions.

Are there age restrictions for the Haunting event?

While specific age restrictions are not listed, the 'Haunting' events are generally geared towards older children and adults due to their scary nature. The 'Upside Down' haunt is inside Rushmore Cave.
