💡 Know Before You Go
🎃 Arrive early or go on weeknights — Friday and Saturday lines can top an hour; Sunday–Thursday means shorter waits.
🎃 Know the scare rules — actors won’t touch you, but strobes, fog, and loud sounds are constant; skip it if you’re sensitive.
🎃 Wear closed-toe shoes — you’ll be moving through dark, uneven sets; leave the costume pieces that drag at home.
🎃 13+ is the sweet spot — younger kids are allowed with adults at most haunts but rarely last the whole walkthrough.
🎃 Buy tickets online in advance — weekend nights regularly sell out, and online prices are usually lower than the door.
