What to Expect
What Happens When I Arrive at Festival Fright Nights?
Upon arrival at Festival Fright Nights, you'll check in at Winchester Mystery House and then explore the haunted mazes and experiences set across the estate grounds.
When you arrive at Festival Fright Nights, proceed to the check-in area at Winchester Mystery House to scan your tickets and gain entry to the event.
Here's what to expect once you're on the grounds:
- Have your ticket confirmation ready on your phone or printed — you'll scan in at the entrance.
- Once inside, you are free to explore the haunted mazes and experiences across the estate at your own pace. The three main mazes are Masquerade of Shadows (inside the mansion), The Root of All Evil (greenhouse), and The Final Descent (basement).
- If you purchased add-ons such as The Underhouse, the Harry Houdini séance, Axe Yard, or Masquerade Speakeasy, follow event signage to find those experiences.
- Fast Pass and VIP Masquerade Invitation ticket holders should look for designated priority-entry lanes at each attraction.
- Photography is not permitted inside the haunted mazes or during Halloween tours.
