Wagon rides take place outside, while the rest of the attractions are indoors. Two packages are available for families of five. The BOO Package, priced at $40, includes event admission, a printed 5x7 photo with Frankenstein, three pony ride tickets, stall voting, and access to activities throughout the stable.

Debit and credit cards are accepted with a processing fee. Wagon rides depend on weather, and all admissions, packages, and tickets are purchased upon arrival with no advance sales.
