  • Front-of-the-Line Festival Access — After the VIP Flashlight Tour, your guide will escort you to the front of the line for direct access to the rest of the Halloween Nights festival.
  • Quick Pass — Once you’re inside, you’ll receive priority access to the haunted attractions, bypassing the General Admission lines.
  • The Speakeasy at Al Capone’s Cell — End your evening with a complimentary beer, wine, cider, or soft drink in The Speakeasy at Al Capone’s Cell. Unbundle your nerves in this cozy little hideaway as you’re serenaded by our glamorous, undead lounge singers.
