Happy Frights® or Haunting Nights®: Which one should I attend?
Happy Frights® is an all-ages, family-friendly trick-or-treat adventure through immersive worlds. Haunting Nights® is an artful, elevated Halloween event with a few thrilling surprises. We think Haunting Nights® has just the right amount of thrill for anyone 13 and up. Haunting Nights® isn’t gory and bloody. Rather, you’ll encounter several characters throughout the journey that will provide a heightened level of thrill that may cause your heart to race just a little bit. It’s not a continual onslaught of fear, but there is no doubt you will encounter some moments that might result in an elevated heart-rate.
Both Happy Frights® and Haunting Nights® will be a fun night out, but if you’re coming with a group that doesn’t have kids under 13, we encourage you to join us during the second half of the night for Haunting Nights®. You may let out a few squeals during your visit. But we think they’ll be followed by smiles and an appreciative laugh of relief.
