Dare to Join Us?
Get into the spooky spirit of Halloween at the Workhouse Haunt! Back for our 11th season, we’re bringing even more scares (and laughter) to our popular creepy outdoor walk-through trail. Twisted Tales of Terror will lead guests on a frightening journey that brings them along abandoned, historic buildings where they will encounter terrifying characters and sights and sounds that are not for the faint of heart.
Twisted Tales of Terror
Where Fairy Tales Turn into Nightmares
Within the moonlit landscape, where shadows dance with sinister glee, a dark carnival has risen, adorned with dreadful denizens of the freakshow, their souls as twisted as the maze of corridors they roam. Led by the enigmatic ringleader, they journeyed through the veil of night, collecting fairy tales like trophies to adorn their macabre stage. But in the ringleader's hands, these tales morphed into grotesque parodies of their former selves, where happy endings are mere illusions, and despair reigns supreme.
Hang Out at the Haunt
To keep everything moving along, guests will travel in small groups via a timed entry. While waiting for your slot — or after your trail experience — have some Halloween fun with us.
