Please noteThe regular haunted tour experience features strobe lights and sudden movement/noises, so it is not recommended for people with sensitivity to these sensations.

A 30-minute kid-friendly version of our haunted tour takes you backstage at famous ACL Live in all of its Halloween glory, complete with fun facts and scary stories. Full of tricks AND treats: each child ticket (guests 12 and under) purchased comes with a decorate-your-own treat bag kit (no shared supplies to maintain sanitation), with candy stops along the tour for kids to get a safe trick-or-treating experience.

SAFETY & SANITATION

There’s nothing more frightening than germs. Masks are required for all guests over the age of 2 and must stay on the whole tour. Guests must complete a health check upon entry (temperature check and questionnaire). Social distancing will be enforced – we’ve got some scares to terrify even the bravest souls, but our staff will not come close to guests during the experience. 

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to tour start to ensure that the frightening fun will begin on time. Late admission is not allowed, and refunds will not be granted to tardy arrivals.
