Tips & Advice

  • Consider visiting during the daytime matinee shows on Saturdays and Sundays for a less intense experience suitable for younger audiences.
  • If you get too scared, inform an actor that you wish to leave; they will guide you to the nearest emergency exit.
  • While photos are prohibited inside the haunt, actors outside may be willing to pose for pictures if you ask nicely.
  • Bring cash for a slightly lower ticket price during evening/night shows, as credit/debit cards incur a small additional fee.
