The promoters make it very clear that this is not an indoor or outdoor haunted attraction, and it is very different from prior productions. It is not a hayride, and it is not a trail in the woods. There are no zombies, no clowns, and no masked monsters. There are no chainsaws, loud music blaring, or teenaged actors jumping out or chasing you or screaming in your ears. And there's no waiting in line for hours. Expect fun + mystery + laughter + great ride!


Admission is only $29 per person (in advance only) with timed admissions. There are also a limited number of $49 V.I.P. upgrade tickets which entitle guests to first boarding - choice of priority seating aboard the Trolley - plus a free souvenir logo shirt. Tickets are now on sale at: https://haunted-trolley-murder...


All ages are welcome, but under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The Sunday rides and Thursday Halloween night will be the most family-friendly and best suited for younger kids, with candy and prizes for those who come in costume.
