FrightWorks is an indoor attraction and open when it rains.  If the weather looks threatening, that could mean shorter lines.

FrightWorks is designed to be intense, immersive, and unpredictable.
You can expect:
– Sudden scares and loud noises
– Dark, disorienting environments
– Close encounters with actors
– Psychological and atmospheric horror

FrightWorks is also designed to be fun, with moments of humor and astonishment.

If you find yourself too scared to continue, simply notify the nearest actor.  They will escort you to a staff hallway where security personnel will come to escort you out of the attraction.

FrightWorks is a no-contact haunted attraction. Our actors are trained not grab or restrain guests. However, due to the close-quarters nature of the experience, you may occasionally feel incidental or subtle contact, such as a light brush or tap.  There are several moving animatronics and puppets that you may come in contact with.
It’s just enough to keep you guessing what’s real… and what isn’t.

Your journey through FrightWorks typically lasts:
20–30 minutes, depending on pacing and crowd flow.
Wait times can be substantial on busy nights, especially in late October.
We recommend attending early in the season before the crowds get larger.
Fast Passes are available for quicker entry.
