Frequently asked questions
Is it too scary for my 4-year-old?
Lights-on sessions are designed exactly for little ones — the monsters wave instead of jump, and the lights stay bright. Kids 2 and under get in free.
Do I need a museum ticket too?
The haunted house ticket covers the haunted house itself. If you also want the museum's five floors of exhibits, combo admission is available at the museum's box office.
How long does the walk take?
Most families take 20–30 minutes through the house, longer if you stop for the photo spots.
