We are a family affected by autism. As our family member grows older, the venues available to them become scarcer. Our goal is to provide a venue specifically for those special needs individuals who are looking for community functions and events.
We do several walkthroughs with lights on and lights off to deal with the various levels of stimulation tolerance. Our intent is the event be spooky not scary. We do not use any bloody or gory props. We are NOT focused on scaring the visitors but providing a enjoyable haunted Halloween experience.
