Our Haunted Houses
Arriving at the Park
-
Although anytime is a great time to visit Canobie Lake Park’s Screeemfest, our experience has been that Fridays and Sundays (non holidays) tend to be less crowded than Saturdays. We also recommend arriving before 6 PM on Saturdays or Sundays.
-
Unfortunately, no. Outside food and beverage is not permitted through Park gates.
-
Although this is the Halloween season, we do not permit any costumes, onesies, masks or make up through our gates or in the Park. Don’t worry… we have plenty of monsters & zombies, but please leave the haunting to us.
Haunted Houses
-
Our haunted attractions are designed to accommodate conventional wheelchairs and Electric Convenience Vehicles – although certain elements/effects will require the use of an alternate pathway.
-
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. A Monster B’ Gone necklace tells our monsters that you don’t want to be scared whilst traversing through the Park and our Haunted House. Please keep in mind that a Monster B’ Gone does not guarantee a scare free experience. Our monsters will do their best to avoid you, but some initial contact may occur. Please be sure the Monster B’ Gone necklace is FULLY visible and ON.
-
Certainly not the little ones. We recommend parental guidance for children 13 and under. Please note: We do have static displays around the Park with haunted characters in haunted scenes.
-
Our haunted attractions are designed for all five of the senses. Strobe lights and Fog effects are used in multiple areas throughout each haunt and throughout the Park.
-
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.
-
No. And we also ask that you DO NOT TOUCH THE ACTORS.
