BLACKOUT: YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS...

ONE GLOWSTICK - TOTAL DARKNESS

Blackout is a 2-day event where monsters and mayhem lurk in total darkness. Upon arriving, each group (not each person) is given one glow stick. Venturing into the depths of darkness, a horde of monsters roam freely. You may catch a glimpse of them under the glow of black lights, but don’t let them see you first, as they may steal your glow stick leaving you in the dark.

Haunted House Reviews

I had a great time here! It’s unlike any place I’ve been to before, walking throughout the prison and passing by the old cells was really something.

This haunted house rocks. It was scare after scare and exceptionally set up. Very much worth the wait. They also have a gift shop, bar and food concessions. Do your self a favor and make this your next stop for Halloween.

One of the most unique haunted experiences in a real prison. Creepy waiting in line as your behind prison walls but not inside it yet with the guard tower flashing search lights down at you.
