Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 15 minutes before your ticketed entry time to allow for check-in at the box office and prepare for entry, as timed tickets structure arrival but may not eliminate wait lines.
- Wear rubber-soled shoes with good grip, as sandals, flip-flops, or high heels are not permitted, and comfortable footwear is essential for navigating the attractions.
- Be prepared for variable weather conditions; while the wait line is covered and the attractions are indoors, temperatures can drop significantly towards the end of October.
- Full face-covering Halloween masks are not allowed, but medical mouth and nose coverings are permitted.
- Groups of 10 or more can receive a 10% discount with pre-registration via email, with even deeper discounts available for groups of 40 or more on select nights.
