The air is thick with the scent of alien decay, a nauseating smell that clings to your every breath. The flickering lights cast grotesque shadows that dance along the walls, revealing glimpses of the unimaginable horrors lurking just beyond your sight.
“The Invasion” is not just a haunted house, it’s a descent into the depths of a cosmic nightmare, a journey that will haunt your dreams long after you escape its clutches. Will you survive the invasion, or become a permanent resident of this twisted realm?
General admission for Nightmare Chambers is $19.99.
To create even more frights, purchase a Combo Ticket and enjoy both Nightmare Chambers and Mystic Mansion.
Mystic Mansion, located inside Tropic Falls, will be transformed into a grueling maze of terror with fright behind every corner. Hop onto a ghost-hunting vehicle and prepare to scream. But be sure to keep an eye out for what lurks in the dark.
Combo admission for Nightmare Chambers and Mystic Mansion is $24.99
