When are the best days and times to come?
Although anytime is a great time to visit Canobie Lake Park’s
Screeemfest, our experience has been that Friday and Sunday
nights (non holidays) tend to be less crowded than Saturdays. 
We also recommend arriving before 6 PM. 

How do I have the most affordable trip possible?

Is Group Registration available?
Yes! Please click here for Group Information and Registration.

Is there a parking charge?
Of course not!  Parking is always FREE at Canobie Lake Park.

Can I bring food and beverage to the Park?
Unfortunately, no.  Outside food and beverage is not permitted through Park gates.

Can I wear a costume?
No.  Although it is the season for costumes, please leave the haunting to us!

Are the haunts wheelchair accessible?
Our haunted attractions are designed to accommodate conventional wheelchairs – although certain elements/effects will require the use of an alternate pathway.  For the safety of all of our Guests, electric service vehicles (ESV), electric convenience vehicles (ECV), and electric wheelchairs are not permitted in the haunts.  We recommend that you plan your visit with someone who is aware of your needs and can physically assist you when necessary.  

Do I have to pay extra for haunted attractions?
There is no additional charge for UNLIMITED visits to any of our haunted houses (The Dead Shed, Merriment, Inc., the Village, Headhunters at Cannibal Lake, Demons of Darkness and our NEW Terror in the Corn maze).  We do have scary thrills that may have an additional fee such as the “Last Ride”, or a hack at the “Autopsy Table”.

Are the haunts scary?
The short answer is, yes of course they are – that is the idea, after all.   We suggest parental guidance for children 13 and under.

If you wish to enjoy the haunted attractions without the worry of everything jumping out at you, you may elect to purchase a “Monster B’Gone” necklace at the entrance of the Park or at the entrances of the haunted attractions.

Are the haunts for kids?
Certainly not the little ones. We recommend parental guidance for children 13 and under. 

What is there for kids?
We have plenty of kid-friendly fun! We will be operating a majority of our “kiddie rides," including our Kiddieland area. Our monster parade begins at 8:00pm through the Park, and on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, you can try out our new Family Corn Maze between 3PM and 5PM.

What types of special effects are in the haunted attractions?
Our haunted attractions are designed for all five of the senses.  The Dead Shed and the Village have a “Claustrophobia” effect where the “walls” are literally pushing against you.  The Dead Shed and Merriment, Inc. have smell machines with some of the foulest scents known to mankind.  All of our houses have strobe lights and strobe effects are used throughout the Park. Additionally, we use down feathers in the Dead Shed but you may come in contact with them on the floor in both the Dead Shed and Merriment, Inc.  If you have specific questions or concerns, you may ask Guest Services on arrival or the greeter at the entrance of each house.

Haunted houses are too scary… what else is there for me to do?
If you wish to enjoy the haunted attractions without the worry of everything jumping out at you, you may elect to purchase a “Monster B’Gone” necklace at the entrance of the Park or the entrances of the haunted attractions.

If haunted houses are just not your style… you still have come to the right place!  We have plenty of rides (including our wild roller coaster, UNTAMED!), games, food and live entertainment for you to enjoy, plus two additional fall events – our popular OKTOBERFEST celebration in teh middle of the Park and our NEW Autumn Fairgrounds area! That's THREE fall events all in ONE location!

If I get scared, can I get out?
Yes. If you are inside of a Haunted Attraction and feel that you cannot continue, approach the nearest actor and request to exit the attraction.  The actor will direct you to the nearest emergency exit and will escort you out of the attraction.

Will the actors touch me?
No.  And we also ask that you DO NOT TOUCH THE ACTORS.

What live entertainment do you have?
Be sure not to miss the famously exciting tribute show, MINI KISS live Sept. 28 - Oct. 28 on the Midway Stage, You'll also want to catch the incredible Tribute to Madonna, also appearing on the Midway Stage from Sept 15 - Oct. 28. Click here for more info.

There will also be a Monster Parade at 8:00pm throughout the Park!

When do ticket sales, rides, and haunts close?
The last ticket will be sold at approximately 1 hour before the scheduled Park close.  Please note that the earlier that you arrive, the better opportunity you’ll have to take advantage of your favorite attractions.  All rides and haunts close at the published closing times, weather permitting.  This means that ride and haunt lines may close earlier than Park closing based on crowd conditions.
