NIGHTMARE FACTORY, is a walk-through haunted attraction based on a turn-of-the-century industrial complex that manufactured a wide array of “questionable” products in the early 1900s. Burnt to the ground in 1923 by its tortured workers, “Albert Knight’s Factory” became one of American history’s greatest cover-ups.

The remains of the Factory were re-discovered in 2007 and the ghosts now welcome new visitors on a journey through the terrifying abandoned excavation site.

Featuring a range of live actors, horror movie scares, and Hollywood quality special effects. This interactive haunt is unlike anything in the world! Experience the fear with sights, sounds, smells… even touch!

Now Featuring

UNDEAD CITY

All new outdoor attraction!

Join us for a completely new outdoor haunted adventure. For the first time ever, all of the scares are outside!

Containment has failed. Step outside and into a sprawling, open-air quarantine zone where the undead roam freely through a decaying cityscape.

The experience unfolds under the night sky as UNDEAD CITY comes alive with zombies and terrifying monsters at every turn.

It’s all new, all outdoors, and scarier than ever before!

The busiest dates are the last 2 weekends of October.
The busiest times are nightly between 9 and 11 pm.
