What to expect in 2021
In order to provide as safe of an experience as possible for our guests and volunteers, a few things will be different this year.
Volunteer Masks
All volunteers will be wearing masks in public areas, including inside of the haunt! We highly encourage the public to please wear a mask when attending.
Socially Distanced Lines
Groups will be spaced 6 feet apart in the queue line, and we will increase times between guests entering the haunt. We appreciate your cooperation in social distancing.
Symptom Monitoring
We will be checking our volunteers for any covid symptoms, and asking those feeling ill to stay home. If you are experiencing symptoms, please stay at home and seek medical advice.
