What if this is too scary for younger children?
Even with the help of a Good Fairy, the Ghost House can be a little too scary for some. That’s why we offer our special LIGHTS ON Tour. For just one hour, the lights are ON. The spook sounds and effects are OFF. You can even chat with some of the room designers to see how stuff works. Perfect for little guys (and big guys, too!). The 2018 LIGHTS ON Tour will be held on October 21, at 1:00 pm.
