Frequently Asked Questions — Haunted Castle Halloween Festival

The Haunted Castle Halloween Festival runs Fridays and Saturdays, October 3 through November 1, from 5:30 PM to 11:00 PM. Arrive early to experience as many attractions, shows, and food vendors as possible before the night ends!

We do our best to keep attractions running after ticket sales close to allow guests time to use their tickets. However, on crowded evenings, we cannot guarantee access to all attractions — so we recommend arriving early to make the most of your visit!
