Necropolis Underground Haunted Attraction

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the hours of operation?
Please review our calendar page.
NECROPOLIS often stays open later to accommodate patrons on busy nights but the box office will not close earlier than the above posted times

What time does the line start forming?
Early in the season, arriving at opening time is fine. As the season gets closer to Halloween the crowds get larger earlier.

How long is the wait in line?
Line wait is impossible to calculate. Lines sometimes are immediate access or up to 2-3 hours. The last two weekends In October and on Halloween the lines get much longer. Visiting NECROPOLIS earlier in the month or on a Sunday would most likely avoid the long lines.

How long does it take to go through the haunted attractions?
To answer this question we’d have to know if you freeze when you’re frightened or do you run?  You go through at your own pace so the length of experience varies from group to group. To go through all four attractions takes an average of 40 to 50 minutes. The lines get longer, the closer it gets to Halloween. You may encounter wandering creatures as soon as you exit your car so be on your guard.

If I get there 5 minutes before closing and I bought a ticket for all 4 attractions, will NECROPOLIS close before I get the chance to see all four attractions?
The attractions are kept running until the last patron has exited. We stop selling tickets but the shows keep running until the lines are gone. If you are in line when the box office closes, you are guaranteed to get in!

Can I make a reservation?
No, NECROPOLIS is first come, first served. You can avoid most of the line by buying a Fast Pass or Front of the Line Ticket.

What are the prices for the different haunted houses?
NECROPOLIS is actually 4 haunted houses/attractions. NIGHTMARE HOUSE, THE CEMETERY OF THE DAMNED, THE OUTBREAK HOSPITAL and THE DEAD AND BREAKFAST HOTEL. We only sell a single ticket to the whole attraction.

Is there a way to avoid waiting in line?
We offer Fast Pass which will bypass General Admission or Front of the Line which will bypass both General Admission and Fast Pass.

NOTE: It is very difficult to predict if Fast Pass ticket will be necessary. Our longest lines are usually Friday and Saturday evenings and Halloween evening. Weather and “special” pricing can greatly affect our lines. Purchase this ticket with some caution. No refunds are given on Fast Pass or Front of the Line ticket if there is not line when you arrive.

What sized groups can go in?
All of the NECROPOLIS attractions are designed for groups of 6 or less to view. Larger groups will not be allowed together. If your group is larger than 6 people, it will be split and admitted in multiple groups. Larger than 6 people in a group may ruin the experience for your group. Catching up with the group in front of you should be avoided at all costs. Groups with less than 6 people may make the attraction more intense.

Are the monsters allowed to touch you?
The actors of NECROPOLIS will never intentionally touch you. Because of the closeness of their working conditions and your unknown reaction, incidental contact could occur. Some of the effects make come in contact with you.

Photography of any sort is not allowed in any of the haunts. Haunted attractions are dark and people’s eyes (especially our actors) adjust to the low light. When you flash your camera or phone, you’re not only ruining other customers' experience but you are hurting the actor’s eyes. Also the fog used inside the attraction ruins flash photography.

Although no photography or videotaping is allowed inside, the monsters working outside will quite often pose for pictures.

No pets. No weapons. No alcoholic beverages. No cameras. No smoking. No vaping. No laser pointers or flashlights. No food or beverages.

To change 100% the Necropolis group of attractions would be a monumental task. About 25 to 35% of the area is completely changed each season. Expect new effects, sets and scares.
