Dark Nights
Do You Dare?

The Dark Night Experience is a special version of Fort Fright where all attraction lighting is turned off, and guests must navigate the experience using only a flashlight provided by staff. You never know what’s lurking in the shadows…

Dark Night Experiences are held every Thursday in October (8, 15, 22, and 29).

Dark Nights are intense and are not recommended for young children due to the heightened scare factor.

Only Fort Fright-issued flashlights are permitted.

NEW “The Following” Experience

The Following is a brand-new Haunted Maze located within the Interactive Parade Square. Guests (aged 16+ only) will complete a mysterious trial in order to join a secret society.

The twist? Guests must navigate the trial while blindfolded, relying only on their senses to make it through. Those who successfully reach the end will come face to face with their new leader and be officially welcomed into The Following.

Who is it for?
Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Fort Fright is not recommended for children, so parents and guardians should use their discretion. Safety and supervision are essential to ensure everyone’s enjoyment and comfort during the Fort Fright experience.

For those who may be more sensitive to scares, purchase Scare Amulets at the ticket booth upon arrival and the Candy Corner to signal to our scare-actors to turn down the scare and keep a safe distance.
