Well, that depends on how easily scared you get. Our evening shows are not recommended for children under 7 years of age. We provide weekend matinees for young children and those who are a little apprehensive about the evening show.

Line ups can get long on the prime days closer to Halloween. We suggest coming early in the event or you can purchase an advance “Spook Pass” online to ensure priority entry!

The attraction is not 100% wheelchair accessible, however, we are wheelchair friendly. What we mean by that is that the attraction has alternate routes with staff escort to ensure those in a wheelchair can enjoy the attraction.

Can I get a refund if I get too scared?
Once you enter the attraction there are no refunds. You are paying us to scare you in a safe and fun Halloween attraction. If we accomplish that sooner than expected please consider it a job well done and thank you for supporting the BGC of Red Deer.
