Scare Mazes

Edge Of The Forest

NEW for 2025 - Edge of the Forest

Whispers wind through the withered woods at the edge of the Dark Forest, where a forgotten cottage stands as the last remnant of a forgotten time. Locals speak of the Leshwall, a lurking presence that twists the trees and plays tricks on the mind.

Ignore the warnings and step inside this live-action scare maze, but be warned - the vines twist, the forest shifts with every step, and you’re never alone.

Terrifying Scare Attractions

COMPOUND

Step into a world where you’re the subject of a sinister sci-fi experiment. Scientists are attempting to weaponise your DNA… but things are far from what they seem. Navigate the disorienting chambers and shadowy hallways of the compound’s lab — and try to escape before it’s too late.

Mine Tours 2024

Altonville Mine Tours

Rumours are afoot that the old Altonville Mines are alive with activity once again. Following a breakthrough from local law enforcers, the notorious Skin Snatchers have been detained... but for how long?
