START EARLY
Bowling, arcade games, mini golf and food at Kristof's can turn your ticket time into the anchor for a full evening instead of the entire plan.

PLAN YOUR NIGHT
Realm of Terror is the centerpiece. You can build an entire night around it — before, during and after the haunt.
Choose Your NightOne address. A lot more to do.
MAKE A WHOLE
NIGHT OF IT.
Realm of Terror is located at Kristof's Entertainment Center in Round Lake Beach. That means your Halloween plans do not have to begin at the haunt entrance or end when you walk out.
Come early for bowling, arcade games or mini golf. Eat before the show. Enjoy the Realm midway while you are here. Then stay for drinks, games or one more round after the scare.
A simple way to plan it
BEFORE. DURING. AFTER.
You do not need to do everything. The point is that you have options without driving somewhere else.
STAY IN THE REALM
Terror Awakens, the main haunted house, bar, food, midway games, escape rooms, gift shop and the Monster Museum give you more to do around the walkthrough.
DON'T RUSH HOME
Keep the night going with drinks, arcade games, bowling or another on-site activity while everyone argues about who screamed first.

COME FOR THE HAUNT.
STAY FOR THE NIGHT.
The crowd, midway, food, drinks, games and surrounding attractions are part of the evening — not an afterthought.
Arrival basics
GET HERE. GET IN. GET SCARED.
A few practical details make peak October nights easier.
Free Parking
Free parking is available for Realm of Terror guests. The on-site lot can fill on busy nights, so follow staff signage and overflow instructions when you arrive.
Arrive Ready
Have your tickets ready on your phone. Your selected ticket time helps manage arrivals but is not a guaranteed attraction entry time.
Security
Guests pass through security screening. Weapons are prohibited and there is no storage for prohibited items. Guest costumes and masks are not permitted during the regular show.
Dress for October
Part of your visit may be outdoors. Check the forecast and dress for the conditions while keeping costumes and masks at home.
Coming from the region
Realm of Terror is located in Lake County, Illinois, serving Round Lake Beach, the northern Chicago suburbs and visitors from southern Wisconsin.
For the smoothest arrival on peak Fridays and Saturdays, allow extra time for traffic, parking and security.
