Unhinged: Hotel is at night but is not a tour. It’s an immersive indoor and outdoor experience with various elements. Inside, guests embark on a suspenseful walk-through journey with state-of-the-art special effects, professional actors, and disturbing scenes. Outside, you’ll find an outside scare zone, immersive decor, our Halloween museum, and food & drinks. Many historical aspects of the home won’t be visible during the show, so we recommend exploring the daily Mansion Tour and Explore More Tour to learn about the house’s history. 

No, Unhinged: Hotel is an entirely new experience. It features a fresh storyline, characters, and scares throughout both the house and the estate.

To fully enjoy the experience, we recommend planning at least 2 hours on the property.
