Dare to Join Us?

Get into the spooky spirit of Halloween at the Workhouse Haunt! Back for our 12th season, we’re bringing even more scares (and laughter) to our popular creepy outdoor walk-through trail. This year’s event, Apokalypse: Kingdom of Shadows, promises even darker thrills, more immersive storylines, and terrifyingly interactive experiences designed to challenge even the bravest thrill seekers.

Guests travel in small groups for frightening experiences that bring them through the abandoned, historic buildings and into the dark woods where they will encounter terrifying characters and sights unfit for the faint of heart.

While waiting for your slot — or after your trail experience — have some Halloween fun with us.

Enjoy a mix of popular music and Halloween favorites, from our Haunt DJ in the Rizer Pavilion on Fridays, Saturdays, and Halloween Night.

Grab some refreshments at the bar, including Halloween-themed alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, & snack on sweet and savory food treats.

Lots of Fun

VERIFIED

Very well organized; great atmosphere and plenty of activities while you wait. The trail was good! Actors were exceptional. Definitely worth the money and we would go again!

Totally a history lesson and a haunt

Bar and movie as you wait. Organized well. LOTS of clown. Huge maze. All sorts of sounds along the trails. Bus crash was a cool touch. I felt safe with the security every place...even in the parking lots. Better and more original than last year. Not your normal Freddy and Jason. Loved the “King Pin” at the end. That was the coolest outfit I’ve ever seen! Tour guide at the beginning gave a great history lesson at the beginning and I kept waiting for something to jump out at me. List to what she says and it makes a great story line. Can’t believe you put this all together fro scratch this year. Sound system on the movie wad fantastic.
