Quick Actions

Tips & Advice

  • Wear closed-toe shoes like sneakers or boots; flip-flops, heels, and sandals are not permitted on the trail due to the wooded terrain.
  • Consider purchasing tickets online in advance or opting for a FAST PASS to minimize wait times, especially closer to Halloween.
  • Arrive before sunset to potentially reduce wait times, as lines can become several hours long closer to Halloween.
  • Be aware that the attraction features intense audio, strobe lights, fog, and uneven paths; enter only if you are comfortable with these conditions.
  • Photography and videography are strictly prohibited on the trails; your camera will be confiscated if you attempt to record.
