    No, it is not, however due to the design, the barn offers natural cross-venting. There are ceiling fans over the dance floor to help keep a constant air flow. We also have a large "port-a-cooler," which is just a large fan that will move a lot of air to keep the barn cool.

  • Can I bring a flashlight, cellphone, or camera?
    We know you are going to bring your cell phone; However, we ask that they are turned off while in the attractions. Also, we can’t stop to look for lost phones, keys or other items during the event — if we do find anything it will be sent to the merchandise area in the upstairs of the barn. No flashlights, please — it ruins the effect for the rest of our guests. We do sell glowsticks in both the concessions and merchandise areas within the barn — these can be worn. No photography or videography is allowed within the attractions — Our ghosts are a little camera shy.
  • Can we be asked to leave without a refund?
    YES — we do not allow foul language, pushing, vulgar behavior, weapons, alcohol, or anything that could impact the safety or enjoyment of our guests. Like all businesses we have rules that must be adhered to for your own safety. If the rules are violated, you will be asked to leave without a refund. For more information see our Rules Page.

    Not intentionally. They are instructed to not touch or pull at our guests. We expect our guests to follow this rule as well.
  • Do you have security?
    We have fully trained security and EMT staff throughout the farm, although they are seldom if ever needed. You may see them, you may not, but they ARE there. Please follow our rules, respect our actors, and respect our guests.
  • Can we wear costumes?
    We know it’s Halloween and costumes can be fun. However, we do not allow masks or full body camouflage — NO EXCEPTIONS. If you would like to be part of our attraction, please see the Employment Page.
  • Do you serve alcohol?
    We are a family-owned business and provide family entertainment for all ages. Therefore, we do not allow any alcohol/drugs on the farm. Any person caught with illegal substances or alcohol will be required to leave the property. This rule applies to our parking lot as well. Interfering with our parking staff and other customers is strictly prohibited.

    The attraction is physically demanding — anyone who is claustrophobic, has heart or respiratory problems, is prone to seizures, is pregnant, or requires assistance in walking either with a cane, crutches or other devices should not participate.
  • Is there an age limit?
    We have had guests ranging in age from 6 to 70+ — it really depends on the individual. Guests will experience intense audio and visual effects including strobe lights, fog, extreme low visibility, uneven walking surfaces, damp and wet conditions, loud music and sound. Our only age requirement is that children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
  • Are you open in bad weather?
    It depends — a large part of our experience is outdoors, and light rain or snow enhances the effect. If the weather is severe and it presents a danger to our guests, we will halt the attraction until the weather passes. If you are unsure — call (724) 368-323. We post closure updates on our Facebook page as well!
