1. What are the hours of operation?
Grand opening is Friday the 5th of October.

2. What time does the line start forming?
Early in the season, arriving around 7pm is fine, but as we get closer to
Halloween the crowds get larger.
3. How long is the wait in line?
In general, we try to keep the wait time to under 30 minutes. However, on
the last 2 weekends in October and on Halloween the lines will be much
longer. Try to come earlier in October if you would like to avoid the longer
lines!
4. How long does it take to go through the haunted house?
That depends on many factors. First you must buy your tickets and then wait
to enter the haunted houses. Once you enter, you go through at your own
pace so the length of the experience varies from group to group. The houses
2000 sq ft each so it may take 15 to20 mins per house, plus time in lines. The lines get longer the closer it gets to Halloween. You may encounter wandering
creatures the moment you leave your car, so be on your guard!
5. If I get there at 10:45 pm and I bought a ticket, will the Night of Screams haunted house close before I get a chance to go through?
We keep the haunted houses running until the last patron has exited. We'll
stop selling tickets, but the shows will keep running.

30. Can we take flash photos of your haunted houses?
NO, photography of any kind is not allowed in the haunts. Haunted houses
are dark and peoples eyes (especially the actors) adjust to the low light.
When you flash your camera you're not only ruining other customers'
experience but you're hurting the actors' eyes. Also, the fog used inside the
attractions ruins flash photography. Although no photography or videotaping
is allowed inside (including nightshot), the monsters working outside will
quite often pose for pictures.

No pets! No weapons! No alcoholic beverages! No cameras! No smoking! No
