Q&A

What is 'Potters House of Horrors?
Potter’s House of Horrors is an ultra-spooky haunted house comprised of a labyrinth-like walk-thru over a 15,000 square foot layout. It consists of several rooms and displays connected together by dark twisty hallways. Creepy ctors, pouncing animatronics, custom digital sounds and many, many surprises await inside the halls of the House of Horrors.. enter if you dare!!

Are there any age restrictions?
No, however younger children will likely enjoy the event more during 'Family Hour' from 5PM to 6:30PM.
Please check the schedule page for extended Family Hours on select weekends.
After 7:00 PM is our super-scary event geared more towards adults and teens. There are emergency exits located throughout the event should anyone decide to “chicken out”. Security personnel are there to assist people who need to leave the haunted house. There are no refunds should anyone decide to leave.

Are the monsters allowed to touch you?
The actors will not grab you but there could be incidental contact as actors may brush up against you, etc. Please DO NOT touch the actors or sets!!!

What is a “single house pass” vs a “double house pass”?
A single house pass allows you to enjoy only one of our haunted houses; whichever haunted house you choose to enter is up to you. The double house pass allows you to enter both haunted houses. ** PLEASE NOTE: Patrons who purchase a double house pass must line up a second time to get into the second haunted house.

Is it a ride?
Visitors walk through all the attractions. You can set your own pace.

Is it dark?
Of course it's dark. How much fun would it be if it wasn't? Groups with younger visitors will be supplied with a omplimentary GLOW STICK. Just keep it visible to the actors and they will 'tone down' their acts.

Is it a maze? Can I get lost?
It is not a maze. It is a labyrinth-like walk-thru of rooms and displays connected by dark hallways. You will not get lost. Our security team (in orange t-shirts) are there to assist you!

Can we WEAR Halloween costumes inside?
No. For safety reasons guests are not permitted to wear costumes.

Are your attractions open if it rains?
Yes! Our haunted houses are indoors. The area for the box office line and lines to enter the haunts are also indoors.

How can I pay for my tickets?
Tickets are available on-site (at the door!) and online. On-site we accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, debit or cash. Online tickets can be purchased via Paypal or credit card.

What time do ticket sales end?
Ticket sales end at the latest posted time on our ticket page. In other words, if it says the event is 7pm to 10pm, ticket sales end at 10pm. That means you can purchase tickets right up until 10pm and still get through all haunted houses. ** PLEASE NOTE: The event does not shut down at 10pm (or 10:30pm on certain nights)!! Ticket sales simply end at the posted time and then patrons still have time to make it through all the haunted houses as long as they are in line before 10pm (or 10:30pm on certain nights).

Are the line-ups very long?
That’s a loaded question!! Early in the event the line-ups tend to be very short and move quickly. Some nights you can walk right into either haunted house without waiting at all! That’s why we always encourage patrons to come early in the event as it’s the same great show but with shorter line-ups. As we inch closer towards Halloween expect line-ups to get longer and longer. For those who hate long lines, our Speedpass ticket may be a better option.

What is a Speedpass ticket?
A Speedpass ticket is a premium ticket that allows patrons to skip the main haunted house line-ups and enter the haunted houses with less waiting time. ** PLEASE NOTE: Speedpass tickets do not allow patrons to immediately enter the haunted houses! Speedpass tickets simply skip the main haunted house line-ups and essentially make for a much shorter wait time. On less-busy nights, Speedpass wait times would be expected to be 5 to 10 minutes or less. On busy nights Speedpass wait times could be 20 minutes+. Compared to the regular line-ups on those nights, the Speedpass line-up will be a much faster option to enter the haunted houses.

Do tickets ever sell out?
Generally speaking, no, we do not sell out of tickets for our event. However on extremely busy nights Potter’s reserves the right to end ticket sales if the number of patrons on site is deemed too large for our facilities. Speedpass ticket sales may be limited on busy nights as well.

Is the event wheelchair accessible?
No. Due to tight turns and partially impeded pathways the event is not considered wheelchair accessible.

Is there a lot of smoke?
We may use fog machines. They produce a very minimal amount of fog and should not affect anyone.

Are there strobe lights?
Yes, we do use strobe lights.

Can I go in if I'm pregnant?
This event is not recommended for visitors who are pregnant, have heart conditions or are in general poor health.

Once we've used our ticket can we go through again with the same ticket?
No. A new ticket is required for each visit.

Do your attractions have security?
Yes. We have a team of uniformed (orange t-shirts) and non-uniformed personnel on site 24 hours a day. This is a fun event and we seldom have problems, but we are prepared. We also have a first aid team supplied by St. John's Ambulance. at all times we are open.

Can we be thrown out of the event for any reason?
This is a fun event and we do not allow any contact with our actors or sets, foul language, pushing, vulgar behavior, weapons of any kind, alcohol, etc. Large groups will be broken up and may be escorted thru by security personnel.

Is smoking allowed?
Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the property.

Can we take photos or video of your haunted houses?
No, photography or video is not allowed inside the actual haunted house. However, photos/ video are permitted outside, in the waiting line and in the attraction/ concession area.

What can't we bring with us inside your haunted houses?
We do not allow food or beverages, costumes or flashlights.

Are the attractions the same this year?
Where would the fun be in that? Our event changes every year. We have warehouses full of sets and special effects equipment that we change out every year. Expect lots of new effects, sets, and scares!

Are there washrooms on site?
Yes, we have Porta-potties.

Is there food or a concession at this year's haunt?
Yes, there’s a concession stand that also sells horrific-ly fun merchandise.
