About Us

Common Ticket Questions

We're glad you asked! Yes, the Sioux Falls Jaycees are a 501c3 non profit, and the Haunted House is our biggest fundraiser and volunteer driver of the year! Proceeds are used to support other Jaycee projects in the community, such as the 4th of July Fireworks at the Fairgrounds and our Holiday Gifts for Kids program that provides gifts to an average of 1600 Sioux Falls area children annually. We invite you to learn more about how the Sioux Falls Jaycees give back to the community, or even volunteer if the project is a fit for you.
We have an alarm and camera system within the haunt that allows security to be notified in any type of emergency, from an unruly patron to a twisted ankle. We have increased our safety measures significantly in response to Covid-19.
Absolutely! We will have sanitizer stations available for patrons to use, as well as providing sanitizer bottles for volunteer areas. In addition, we are increasing our cleaning procedures ensuring we meet CDC recommendations.
Masks are recommended, but not required. The Jaycees Feargrounds are following state and local mandates to ensure the well-being of all our customers.
No, we don't do refunds. If you buy your ticket but are unable to make it or are too scared to enter the haunt, please talk to a volunteer. Tickets are valid until the end of the season, so we can check your ticket back out so it can be used at a later date when you are feeling braver, or given to a friend to use instead. Make sure to use these before the end of the season, since there are no refunds and tickets permanently expire after Halloween.
Yes! If the line is longer than you expected, you can follow the link in your confirmation email and upgrade to Fast Pass for just $5 more. Once you have upgraded, go back up to the volunteer scanning in the line and re-scan your ticket to enter the Fast Pass line. Taxes and processing fees will still apply.
