Admission is $8 per person, while a multiple entry pass will be available for $10 and allows an individual unlimited entry for the night of purchase. A kid watch area is also available for $2 per child.

This year’s “Spook Fest Trick or Treating” for kids will be October 19, from 1-3 p.m., at $2 per person.
