Our goal is simple: to build the most intense and terrifying haunted trail possible — something unlike anything else in the area — while relying solely on community donations to keep the experience affordable for everyone.

When reserving your time, you’ll have the option to choose a donation-supported reservation or one of our free reservations (limited quantities for each). Donation-supported reservations include a minimum donation of $10 per person, which helps cover the ever-growing costs of bringing Wicked Woods to life — including generator fuel, fog, makeup, costumes, construction materials, props, special effects, lighting, sound, parking, safety supplies, and everything else that goes into building this nightmare. You can adjust your donation amount during checkout if you choose to give more. The free reservations are available if you do not wish to donate or do not want to donate the minimum amount. Please note that every reservation includes a small processing fee charged by the third-party reservation system and not by Wicked Woods.

Reservations are required so we can control attendance, parking, safety, and give every guest the experience they came for. Wicked Woods is built by volunteers who spend countless hours creating something unlike anything else in the area. Whether you donate or claim a free reservation, we appreciate you supporting what we do — and we hope you’re ready for what you’re walking into.

Now let’s be clear about what you signed up for…

Wicked Woods is not your average “boo palace” where someone jumps out from behind a curtain and everyone goes home laughing. This is an extreme haunted attraction designed to make you uncomfortable, test your limits, and make you question every decision that led you into the woods. You will encounter darkness, tight spaces, crawling, loud noises, disorienting effects, intense lighting, and situations meant to push you mentally and physically. If you can’t crawl, squeeze, bend, get dirty, or handle being uncomfortable, turn around now.

Think you want more? Add a glow stick when making your reservation and volunteer for the chaos. Once our actors see that glow stick, you’ve officially asked for the upgraded experience. Expect a more intense, hands-on encounter where you may be grabbed, pulled, separated from your group, moved around, and pushed beyond your comfort zone. We are not here to hurt you — we are here to scare you, overwhelm you, and give you an experience you won’t forget.

If you need constant reassurance, special treatment, or plan on trying to control the experience, this may not be the haunt for you. Wicked Woods is built for people who want to be scared, challenged, and pushed to their limits.

We’re here to scare the hell out of you — not hold your hand.

By completing your reservation, you acknowledge that a waiver is required and that providing your name confirms you have reviewed, understood, and agreed to all terms, conditions, and requirements contained within it.

BEFORE YOU WASTE EVERYONE’S TIME…

1. ONLINE RESERVATIONS ONLY.

Think you’re gonna roll up and reserve at the gate? That’s adorable. You can’t. If you didn’t reserve online, congratulations—you just drove out here for absolutely nothing.

2. YOUR TIME SLOT ISN’T A SUGGESTION.


Show up when you’re supposed to. Not an hour early because you’re “excited.” Not an hour late because you stopped for gas, food, cigarettes, or your cousin’s birthday. We have limited parking and hundreds of people trying to get in. After you’ve gone through, please don’t linger for hours. We are very limited on parking! Don’t be that person.

3. SOLD OUT MEANS… WAIT FOR IT… SOLD OUT.


There isn’t a secret stash of reservations hidden under the counter. Crying, begging, bribing, or telling us how far you drove won’t magically create one.

4. CHECK YOUR EMAIL.


If you made a reservation, you’ll get a confirmation email with a QR code. That’s how this works. Welcome to the 21st century.

5. NO EMAIL? YOU PROBABLY DON’T HAVE A RESERVATION.

If all you have is a pending charge and zero confirmation email, your payment probably didn’t go through. Your bank will usually clean up the pending charge in a few days. Yelling at our check-in crew won’t speed up your bank.

6. DON’T TAKE IT OUT ON OUR STAFF.


They’re here to scare people, scan QR codes, and survive the night—not listen to a 20-minute speech about why the rules shouldn’t apply to you.

7. READ THE RULES BEFORE YOU COME.

It’ll save you a trip, save us a headache, and keep the line moving. Everyone wins… except the monsters. They were hoping you’d panic.

8.AGE LIMIT

If you think your kids are too young… they’re too young. Trust your gut. This isn’t a playground, a Disney ride, or a friendly little walk through the woods with a flashlight.

This is an aggressive haunted attraction and is not suitable for persons under the age of 14. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Please use common sense. Do not bring your beautiful baby, your toddler, or the child you still have to carry through the trail. Seriously… What is wrong with you?

We love a good scare, but we also love not being responsible for explaining to a terrified 3-year-old why he’s going to have life long trauma.

Know your child. Know what you’re getting into.

A FEW THINGS BEFORE YOU ENTER THE WOODS…

Severe Weather Policy:

In the event of severe weather, we will close the trail. Unfortunately, Mother Nature does not care that you bought a reservation, and lightning, flooding, and falling trees tend to ruin the whole “fun night of being chased in the woods” experience. Safety first… even for the brave souls who think they’re invincible.

Accessibility Notice:

We regret to inform you that our haunted trail is not wheelchair accessible. We know, shocking news — an outdoor trail through the woods filled with dirt, roots, rocks, and uneven ground is not exactly a luxury paved walkway.

Dress Appropriately:

Please wear appropriate clothing and shoes. This is an outdoor haunted trail… not a stroll through a climate-controlled shopping mall. Expect dirt, mud, uneven terrain, and the possibility of your shoes actually touching the outdoors. Leave the flip-flops and fancy shoes at home — your feet will thank you.
