Old and New Haunted Mazes

Three terrifying tales await inside Castle Dark, including two brand new haunted mazes and a returning fan favorite. Twisted corridors, sinister surprises and unexpected scares make every turn a test of bravery. Stay alert, keep moving, and pray the darkness does not turn one of the mazes into your permanent address.

Spooky Scare Zones

Once night falls, Castle Park's paths become hunting grounds for twisted characters, mysterious creatures and monsters lurking in the shadows. Each haunted scare zone brings its own eerie atmosphere and unexpected encounters. Keep your eyes peeled and stay close to the group, because something spooky could be waiting just around the corner!

All-New Live Shows

Castle Dark brings entertainment to the stage with brand-new shows and performances. Lady Lou's Haus of Monsters is a dazzling spectacle hosted by the kingdom's sassiest spectral star and her graveyard dancing troupe. Once After Dark takes over, expect to watch electrifying performances and groove to favorite spooky hit songs.

After Dark Party

Before You Go: Tips for Surviving Castle Dark

Prepare yourself for an evening of frights and fun with these essential tips to navigate the park. Remember, it’s not just about surviving the scares—it’s about making the most of every haunted moment!

  • Dress Appropriately:

    The autumn nights can be chilly and the grounds eerie. Wear comfortable shoes and warm clothing. Costumes are encouraged, but please avoid masks and props that could interfere with the attractions.

  • Bring a Friend:

    Everything is scarier when you’re alone! Bring a friend or a group to share in the screams and have someone’s hand to hold when the ghouls close in.

  • Stay Hydrated:

    With all the screaming and running, don’t forget to stay hydrated. Consider bringing a water bottle, or plan to purchase drinks from one of the ghoulish vendors.

  • Review the Park Map:

    Familiarize yourself with the layout of the park to maximize your visit. Knowing where each attraction is can help you plan your route and minimize backtracking.

  • Take Breaks:

    If the fear gets too intense, take a break at one of the less terrifying concessions stands or rest areas. Sometimes even the bravest souls need a moment to gather their courage.

  • Charge Your Phone:

    Make sure your phone is fully charged to capture all the spooky memories. You wouldn’t want to miss out on photo opportunities with the resident ghosts and goblins!

  • Plan Your Transportation:

    Ensure you have a ride home that can accommodate any extra spectral "guests" you might inadvertently bring back. Public transportation and rideshares are good options if you think driving might be too spooky after the event.

  • Follow All Park Rules:

    For the safety of all guests and ghouls, please adhere to all park rules and follow the instructions of the undead staff.

  • Embrace the Unknown:

    Expect the unexpected and embrace the eerie entertainment. Let your guard down (but not too much) and allow the chilling charms of the park to envelop you in its ghostly embrace.
