The Fright Barn Experience
Warning: This attraction is designed to scare
Our haunted house is a fully immersive experience featuring:
- Dark, enclosed spaces and sudden jump scares
- Theatrical fog, strobe effects, and low to no lighting
- Graphic scenes of gore and horror
- Uneven flooring and tight passageways
- Live actors and intense sound effects
This attraction is not recommended for young children, individuals with heart conditions, or those sensitive to frightening environments. Parental discretion is strongly advised. Children under 12 years of age will not be admitted into Fright Barn without an adult.
Spooky Stories Barn
A gentler Halloween experience for all ages
For younger guests or those who prefer a lighter scare, the Spooky Stories Barn offers:
- Mildly spooky tales told by costumed storytellers
- Soft lighting, no gore, and no jump scares
- A cozy, festive atmosphere with Halloween fun for the whole family
- Perfect for kids, families, and anyone who loves the spirit of Halloween without the screams.
