Halloween HAUNT

With over 400 monsters, six mazes, five outdoor scare zones and plenty of live entertainment, this year’s HAUNT is loaded with thrills.
New for HAUNT in 2022:
Malice in Wonderland (Europa): Alice has awoken from her dream only to find herself in a new nightmare. Her once happy world has descended into madness and the most horrible elements of Wonderland have infiltrated her world…and her mind.
Fear Ground (Tivoli Music Hall): Step right up! The fair is in town! Tour this dilapidated fairground and see what these wicked carnies and demented clowns have in store for you.
Fright Zone (Africa): Do you know what lurks in the fog? From bone-chilling skeletons to creatures from your worst nightmare, this walk-through scare zone will raise the hairs on the back of your neck.
Halloween HAUNT runs select nights from September 16-October 29 from 6:00 p.m. to park close. Admission is included with a Season Pass or daily ticket. HAUNT is not recommended for children under the age of 13. Most park rides and attractions will be in operation. Guests are not permitted to attend the event in costume.
