  • Over 75% would hesitate to report a concussion to employers.
  • Many are unaware of our free local recovery services

Dare to Join Us?

Get into the spooky spirit of Halloween at the Workhouse Haunt! Back for our 11th season, we’re bringing even more scares (and laughter) to our popular creepy outdoor walk-through trail. Twisted Tales of Terror will lead guests on a frightening journey that brings them along abandoned, historic buildings where they will encounter terrifying characters and sights and sounds that are not for the faint of heart.

Twisted Tales of Terror
Where Fairy Tales Turn into Nightmares

Within the moonlit landscape, where shadows dance with sinister glee, a dark carnival has risen, adorned with dreadful denizens of the freakshow, their souls as twisted as the maze of corridors they roam. Led by the enigmatic ringleader, they journeyed through the veil of night, collecting fairy tales like trophies to adorn their macabre stage. But in the ringleader's hands, these tales morphed into grotesque parodies of their former selves, where happy endings are mere illusions, and despair reigns supreme.

Hang Out at the Haunt

To keep everything moving along, guests will travel in small groups via a timed entry. While waiting for your slot — or after your trail experience — have some Halloween fun with us.

  • Enjoy a mix of popular music and Halloween favorites, from our Haunt DJ in the Rizer Pavillon on Fridays, Saturdays, and Halloween Night.

  • Grab some refreshments at the bar, including Halloween-themed alcoholic and
    non-alcoholic drinks.

  • Snack on sweet and savory food truck treats.

  • Visit the Haunt Pop-up Shop in Building 16, featuring artwork from Workhouse campus artists and other Halloween items! Fridays and Saturdays open 11 am-10 pm, Sundays noon-10 pm as well as 11 am-6 PM Wednesdays and Thursdays.
