👻Allens Sensory Friendly Night will return for its 4th year, Friday September 19th!!👻🤡
This is a night for the community of those on the spectrum to enjoy a haunted house and hayride together. We have dialed back the intensity of the experience by eliminating strobe lights, loud music, jump scares, and screams.
Sensory Friendly Night is an opportunity for families to enjoy a haunted house together who might not otherwise get to. We want to ensure that nobody is left out and everyone can have a fun night of thrills. And, it's not just the haunted house and hayride. We have campfires and concession stands ready, and you can even bring your own snacks to enjoy.
So mark your calendars, tell our friends and join us for a fun-filled night that's inclusive for everyone. We can't wait to see you there!
Ticket booth opens at 7
Campfire reservations available online:
