Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Trail suitable for children?
We do not recommend children under the age of 10 walk the Trail and strongly recommend young children do not attend. This is a very creepy, scary event and there are jump scares and some rather graphic costumes on the trail. Parents need to take an active role in determining whether or not their children should go through the Field Of Screams. You know best what they can handle.
All children who do enter MUST be accompanied by an adult.
How much is an admission ticket to the Field of Screams?
We are asking for donations – there is no set price
Are Pets allowed at the Field of Screams?
No, pets are not allowed even if they're trained zombie hunters.
Will the actors grab me inside the attractions?
No, the actors are not allowed to touch you. You are also not allowed to touch, hit, or grab the actors.
All children who enter must adhere to a strict NO CONTACT rule with our performers. The creatures along the trail will not touch any of the people going through and we ask that you return this courtesy to them.
