Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early for the Trick or Treat Trail if you have younger children, as it runs from 2 PM to 6 PM, before the park transitions to its scarier 'Freaky Frights' theme.
  • Be aware of the costume policy: kids under 10 can dress up with no makeup, but guests older than 11 should avoid costumes and makeup in the park and asylum.
  • Consider purchasing your 'Pay One Price' bracelet online in advance to potentially save time at the gate, especially during peak Halloween weekends.
  • Explore the unique themed food and drink options like 'Eyeball Pizza' and 'Dracula's Blood' for an extra layer of Halloween fun.
  • Check the park hours for the specific day you plan to visit, as hours can vary, especially during the Halloween season.
