Is it actually scary?
Yes. We employ some tactics never seen before at other haunts. We do not touch... however, we have a lot of amazing actors trained by some of the industry's best talent in creating deep dread, impactful jump scares, and science-based emotional fear. That being said, it's a good time. If you need to leave, there are lots of exits and someone will escort you out. No refunds though!
