About Us

Common Ticket Questions

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.
There is no official age requirement. However, we do recommend 12+ years of age. We rely on parents to make that decision for their children. By all means, bring everyone... we promise to scare your whole family.
