Important Scare Maze Information

The Scare Maze is recommended for ages 8+ and contains live scare actors, darkness/blackout areas, flashing and strobe lighting, loud noises and frightening scenes. It may not be suitable for younger children or anyone who is sensitive to these effects. Parent/guardian discretion is advised.

ScareFest itself is a family event, so children who do not wish to enter the Scare Maze can still enjoy the other activities available during the event.
