What is the best time to arrive?
It is best to arrive as early as possible. The closer it gets to Halloween; the lines will start to get longer.

TERROR TOWN TOURS ...a twisted 1 mile long HAUNTED HAYRIDE...
SLAUGHTERHOUSE ASYLUM… a maddening OUTDOOR MAZE...
SPIRITS ON THE BOGGS… an OUTDOOR HAUNTED WALK, nestled in the Depths and Darkness of a Desolate Village!
In addition to our four major attractions, we have side show and line actor performers, concession stands and a gift shop.
What ages is your attraction appropriate for?
The Village of the Damned is appropriate for all ages. We recommend that children are 8 years old or older for our other attractions.
With that said, if your 5 year old can handle watching movies such as Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm St. without nightmares themselves, by all means, this would be suitable for them. On the other hand, if your 9 or 10 year old is afraid of the dark, then we certainly would not recommend the haunted maze, walking trail or hayride due to the fright factor. You as a parent must make the judgment call.
Do you offer any discounts?
We offer Group Discounts for groups of 20 or more. Call
ahead for details and speak w/ Brian Kenney @ 315-947-5782. We also offer Corporate Discounts to participating corporations.

Approximately 3-4 hours. Anticipate 4 hours on any Saturday night. The closer to Halloween, the lines do get longer and the wait times become longer. Come early in the season to avoid lines.
