We are here for our 15th Season of FEAR! You have only 11 nights with 4 chilling and theatrical attractions, a Haunted Midway, and some eye-catching new set pieces this year. Don't forget our selection of treats, and maybe a few tricks around every corner.
Attractions remain open until the final ticketed guest enters. We recommend purchasing tickets online. Many nights, especially the last two Saturdays in October, sell out or experience longer wait times.
Our website contains information about our low-scare and sensory-friendly options.
