More infoNothing tests a relationship like two adults whispering "it's fine, it's fake" in the same breath as grabbing each other's sleeves. Cougar Creek's House of Horrors has five haunted houses, nightly stage shows and a snack stand selling Devil Dogs. Expect indoor houses, outdoor queues, fog, strobes and loud scares. Book a timed entry with the operator and aim to arrive for that slot. Allow about 90 minutes, with queues possibly adding more. It's not recommended for under 14s. Here's the useful bit: agree on a bail-out word before you go in. A sharp "pineapple" is easier to say than a speech about your feelings while something with a chainsaw is nearby. November 1 is Whisper Night, a separate lights-out format. Check its conditions with the operator first. Pick the version you both want, and let the person who swore they never get scared hold the tickets.
Choose an entry in the calendar and book directly with the operator. Allow about 90 minutes plus any queue time. Expect indoor houses, outdoor waiting, fog, strobes and loud scares. Wear comfortable shoes and leave guest costumes and masks at home. Settle your bail-out word in the car park. November 1 is the separate Whisper Night format, so check its conditions with the operator before booking.
7pm - 10pm
