Tips & Advice

  • Purchase tickets online in advance to save money and time, as prices are higher on-site and timed entry slots can fill up.
  • Consider the 'Fast Pass' or 'Ultimate Fear Experience' if you want to minimize wait times, especially on peak nights.
  • Dress in layers and wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes, as you'll be navigating uneven terrain and potentially tight spaces in the dark.
  • If attending with younger children or those sensitive to scares, opt for the 'Halloween Kids Bash' or 'Spookless Night' instead of the main haunted attractions.
  • Be aware of the intense effects (fog, strobe lights, loud noises) and the 'no refunds' policy before purchasing tickets.
