Once Upon a Nightmare…
This Halloween, the fairytales you know and love have taken a dark and twisted turn. Step beyond the storybook and enter a world of Haunted Fairytales, where enchanted castles hide secrets, poisoned apples are waiting to be discovered, and happily ever after is no longer guaranteed.

Join us for an afternoon filled with mysterious challenges, wicked games, Halloween transformations, movies, treats, and plenty of surprises. Can you make it through the nightmare and restore the stories you thought you knew?
