October 24 · 12–3 PM

TRICK OR TREAT THROUGH A REAL HAUNTED HOUSE.

Realm of Terror normally runs as an intense nighttime haunted attraction. Family Frights is a completely different daytime production designed for families.

Friendly monster guides, trick-or-treating, altered lighting, adjusted effects and a playful presentation change the way the attraction feels without turning it into a generic fall festival.
