Tips & Advice
- Complete the online liability waiver before your visit to expedite ticket pickup at the window.
- Arrive early, especially on peak nights, as wait times are not guaranteed and can vary.
- The walking trails are approximately a quarter-mile each, so wear comfortable shoes.
- While geared towards being 'spooky, not scary,' consider the intensity for very young or sensitive children.
- Check the waiver lookup link if you've attended before to ensure your waiver is still valid and includes all party members.
