Children Rules:

Terror Behind the Walls is a great event for older kids (and of course for fright-loving adults!), but we recommend that kids ages 7 to 12 visit on our "Slight Fright Family Nights"

For the first hour these nights, 7:00p.m. to 8:00p.m., kids can say "Monster Be Good!" and they will! The tour and special effects are the same, but our actors will take it just a little bit easier on the group.

Plus, specially discount kids' tickets** are available all evening on Family Nights! Just $ 10* each! Families with older kids can visit after 8:00p.m. for a more scary tour, and still get the kids' discount. Please note: Discounted kids' tickets are available only on Family Nights. There are no kids' discounts on other show nights.

Save $ 5.00 with discount coupons available at all Pennsylvania and New Jersey LUKOIL locations.
*Coupons available while supplies last.

Please note: Kids under the age of seven (7) are not permitted on the site.
