* Hardly Haunted Matinee — non-scary fun for kids under age 8.
October 29th & 30th — 12:00-4:00pm
October 29th & 30th — 12:00-4:00pm
Q: Is this a ride?
A: No. This is a walk-through style Haunted house constructed within two semi-enclosed 10,000 sq ft pavilions. Custom built exclusively for use during the month of October this detailed haunt will bring you face to face with your worst fears and phobias.
Q: How many people are allowed in at a time?
A: Groups are limited to a maximum of 7 persons at a time with some exceptions made when smaller persons make up part of group wishing to confront the unknown together.
Q: How long does it take?
A: Depending on the night, wait times on line vary with busier nights being closer to Halloween. Come earlier in the month for the same bone chilling experience. The actual haunt is twenty to twenty five minutes that may seem like an eternity.
Q: Is it scary?
A: We work very hard to make this haunt the scariest it can be. Parents/Guardians should know best their child's threshold, and although children under 12 are allowed when accompanied by an adult, we do not recommend the haunt for children under the age of 8. Absolutely no infants or pregnant woman will be admitted. *See calendar for Hardly Haunted Kid's Matinee dates
Q: What if it's too scary?
A: If at any time a person decides the haunt is more than they can deal with they can tell any of the personnel inside of their desire to leave. They will be promptly and immediately escorted out through one of the interior exits. Upon exiting they will not be allowed back in the haunt but will instead be instructed on where they can reunite with their group. In addition there are NO REFUNDS.
Q: Will any of the actors touch me?
A: No! There is a no contact rule in this haunt that includes patrons. You do not touch anyone or anything and you will not be touched. Should intentional touching by a patron occur you will be immediately escorted off the premises without completing the event.
Q: Is the haunt handicap accessible?
A: Yes. A member of the group must wait on line while wheelchairs queue closer to the entrance awaiting their turn to enter.
Q: Are there pictures allowed inside?
A: No. No cameras, camcorders, cell phones, glow sticks, flashlights or any other source of artificial light is permitted.
Q: Can I go in again after I've made it through once?
A: No. There is no free re-admission. You are encouraged to purchase another ticket to experience the haunt again.
Q: What if I lose something while I'm inside the haunt?
A: A brief attempt by SBTS staff will be made to locate a missing article. Unsuccessful searches can be followed up by a patron leaving contact information at the ticket booth should a daylight search prove successful.
Q: Is this a smoke free environment?
A: Yes. There is absolutely NO SMOKING or carrying of any lighted products in or near the event grounds.
Q: Is there food?
A: A light snack concession stand is open during event hours.
Q: Do you have party facilities available?
A: The Playland Ice Casino has rooms and skating packages available. Call 914-813-7010.
Q: What if it rains?
A: The haunt is open rain or shine with free parking located a short distance from the event. The queue and haunt are protected from rain.
Q: Is screaming allowed or tolerated?
