There will be over 15 rooms with over 20 animatronics and animations, with live scare actors in front of the building.
Screamboat this year will be October 24, 25, 26 (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) and then the following weekend of Oct. 30, 31, and Nov. 1 (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday). Hours are 6-10 p.m.
Screamboat is not recommended for young children, and it is suggested that any children or young teenagers come with a parent and at a parent’s discretion. There will be one hour at 5 p.m. on one day where the lights will be on for people and maybe younger children to take a less-scary tour. Those details are being finalized.
The cost is $27 per person. Purchase tickets in advance HERE. Read all warnings & disclaimers prior to ticket purchase. 🎟️ All ticket sales are final—no refunds.
Donations from some of the proceeds will be made to certain local nonprofits.
