💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •Make sure to arrive early to avoid long lines.
- •Dress in comfortable clothes and footwear, as there's lots of walking (and maybe a little running).
- •Don't forget your camera for some spooky family photos!
- •Remember, it's all in good fun. Encourage your kids to enjoy the thrill, but reassure them it's all make-believe.
- •Check the weather before your visit. The attraction is partially outdoor and operates rain or shine.
