Tips & Advice
- To minimize wait times, consider visiting earlier in October or on a weeknight, and always purchase tickets online in advance.
- If you're easily offended, this attraction may not be for you, as actors may engage in behavior considered scary or comical.
- While actors won't touch you, be prepared for them to get very close, and you might brush against costumes or props.
- Strobe lights and fog machines are used throughout the attractions; emergency exits are available if needed.
- Patrons are not allowed to wear costumes for safety reasons, so leave your Halloween attire at home.
