Insider tips

  • Bring a phone with a reliable flashlight function for navigating extremely dark sections where visibility is near zero and pathways can be disorienting.
  • Be prepared for very dark and potentially confusing pathways with multiple curtains; don't hesitate to ask actors for guidance if you get lost.
  • If concerns about group spacing persist, consider attending during off-peak times, though reviews generally indicate good spacing.

"Had an awesome time! Great themes and rooms. The actors were great and if someone fell or something they were more concerned about safety than the scare, which is awesome. Took my 10 year old son and he loved it! Good price and a very long haunted house. Would love to try the forest one too."

"Amazing special effects. The displays are huge. Well worth the price of admission. We've been to several haunted attractions and this one is unique. It is completely indoor. It's one building but it is long! It takes about 45 minutes to walk through. The scenes are incredible, unlike anything we've seen before. It's not your typical "horror" scene, more like your worst nightmare. Very well run, not crowded, well spaced so our group felt like we were in there alone. It's very scary. I'd definitely recommend this haunted and I'd return!"

"Great night, the staff was great. The walk through was awesome. I liked the cage area my son and I loved the music, we want to go back and mosh with the clown and psychopath. The 3D room was awesome. And the jump scares were great. Will be back again."
