Halloween Haunt: 20 years of fear
This year marks the twentieth year Kings Dominion has offered Halloween Haunt to thrill seekers.
Over 400 monsters will be unleashed through the park, and guests can test their fears in five themed mazes. Monsters lurk everywhere and make terrifying nightmares come alive. The park’s midways transform into immersive scare zones, and thrilling live entertainment delights even the scariest of ghouls.
If you dare, visit Halloween Haunt on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays on select nights Sept. 24 - Oct. 30. Per Kings Dominion's website, Halloween Haunt is too intense for young children, and parental discretion is advised.
