About The Haunt: Attraction Information

How long does it take to go through the haunted house?
That depends on how fast you run. The entire experience lasts about 1 1/2 Hrs. The walk through portion of the show is at least 20 minutes, but often much longer.

Are the attractions the same this year?
Not even close. Every year is a brand new show, with different scares and an original theme. This year we offer 4 attractions and a "Thriller Style" dance every 20 minutes while you wait in the indoor line.

Is it a ride?
Visitors walk through all 4 attractions at The Haunt.

Is it dark?
There are very dark areas in The Haunt, The Dark Maze, Trapped & Clown Alley 3D.

Is it a maze? Can I get lost?
The large indoor attraction (The Haunt) is not a maze. Many areas of the attractions are confusing, but the staff will help you find your way out if necessary. The Dark Maze is a maze, you will get lost! Trapped & Clown Alley 3D are Mini Mazes.

Are the monsters/actors allowed to touch you?
You may not touch the monsters and the monster will not try to touch you. They will get close and props will certainly touch you! Monsters may occasionally touch you, but that is never their intention.
