Fort Wayne haunted attractions
Haunted Castle & Black Forest
Two legendary walk-through haunts. One night to face the Black Knight’s castle and whatever is waiting beyond the firelight.
Choose your nightmare
One Property. Two Very Different Fears.
Go inside a multi-level castle filled with room-to-room scares, or follow a gravel trail into the dark woods. Visit one attraction or experience both in the same night.
Indoor attraction
The Haunted Castle
Welcome to the home of the Black Knight. Ghosts, goblins and ghouls fill the castle’s dark corridors as slides, drop coffins, elevator rides and hidden portals move you from one nightmare to the next.
What to Expect
- Multiple rooms and levels with close-up scares
- Two slides and varied movement throughout the attraction
- Accessible and alternate routes are available. Contact us before purchasing to discuss your needs and route options; tell the ticket taker before entering the line.
Outdoor attraction
The Black Forest
Enter the woods if you dare. The Black Forest winds along Beckett’s Run Creek through clowns, chainsaws, caves, ghosts, ghouls and a dollhouse that seems to have a mind of its own.
What to Expect
- A longer outdoor route through wooded terrain
- Weather and early-season daylight can affect opening time
- Accessible and alternate routes are available. Contact us before purchasing to discuss your needs and route options; tell the ticket taker before entering the line.
Between the screams
The Midway
Regroup between haunts, grab something to eat and keep an eye out for characters wandering through the crowd. You may accompany your group and wait in the Midway without purchasing haunt admission.
