events
Experience Realm of Terror in an all-new way, with our modified "Family-Frights" and "No-Actor Night".
During Family Frights, join a friendly monster on a day-time hunt through the Realm in the search for Halloween Treats! The first 250 children also receive a Halloween-Themed plush!
No-Actor Night promises a less intense experience for those who love Halloween and Themed Attractions but aren't looking for our usual level of terror.
