Q: How long is the wait?

Q: Can we take flash photos of your haunted houses?
A: NO! The Dent Schoolhouse is a very dark attraction and everyone especially the actor’s eyes adjust to the low light. When you flash your camera you are temporarily blinding the eyes of the actors.  If you are media related please contact us so that arrangements and photos ops can be arranged.

Q: Will the actors touch us?
A: You will not be grabbed or touched by any actors unless it's an accident or heightens the scare. Our actors are highly trained and professional.  They will not touch you inappropriately or in sensitive areas.

Q: Does the Dent Schoolhouse change from year to year?

Q: What happens if it rains?
A: The Dent Schoolhouse and Detention Hall will stay open.
