Ghost Manor

Weather Update for Tonight (Oct 31)
Weather Update for Tonight (Oct 31)…. It’s raining right now and miles of wires are soaked, so we’re monitoring it constantly and will make the call closer to (or even during) show time about whether we can run it at all or a scaled down version, etc. There are a lot of delicate electronics and there’s a fairly extensive process to bring things online (no “on” switch), so we have to err on the side of caution … but still hoping for a good finale to what has been an amazing season! Either way, have a Happy Halloween, and we hope to see you in 2025!
Ghost Manor is an award-winning haunted attraction like no other. Fully experienced from the outside banquette, you’ll experience flying ghosts, singing skeletons, dancing zombies, and a whole array of other interesting characters frolicking in this most haunted of houses. It has become a favorite of visitors from around the country and the world for its uniquely whimsical parodies of not only well-known Halloween tropes but also other popular entertainment references in music, movies and theatre, thoroughly transformed by the magic of Halloween.
Hailed for its technical achievements in lighting design, special effects, and custom-designed animatronics, it’s a one-of-a-kind experience of haunted vignettes which are designed to entertain, delight, and impress (and sometimes make you laugh) more than merely scare. It’s suitable for all ages, and both adults and children come back over and over to fully appreciate the richly layered detail and artistic creativity.
