  • Parking: Parking is available inside a gated area for $5.00. Valuables should not be left in cars.
  • Accessibility: The Lemp Brewery is underground and requires elevator access. While efforts are made to accommodate, it is not fully handicap accessible due to the historic nature of the building, uneven floors, tight corners, and potential for crowds. Private tours may be arranged for wheelchair guests during non-operational hours.
  • Pets: No pets allowed

Tips & Advice

  • Purchase tickets online in advance to save time and potentially money, as online tickets often bypass the longest queues.
  • Consider a combo ticket to experience multiple attractions like The Darkness, Creepyworld, and Lemp Brewery for a more comprehensive scare experience.
  • Arrive early, especially on weekends or popular nights, as wait times can be significant. Weekdays in September or November are often less crowded.
  • Review the extensive warning list before attending, as the attraction features intense audio, lighting, and effects that may not be suitable for everyone.
  • Leave valuables at home or secure them in your car's trunk, as the venue is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
