Scare Mazes for the Bravest of Souls
COMPOUND: Step into a world where you’re the subject of a sinister sci-fi experiment. Scientists are attempting to weaponise your DNA… but things are far from what they seem. Navigate the disorienting chambers and shadowy hallways of the compound’s lab — and try to escape before it’s too late.
ALTONVILLE MINE TOURS: Rumours are afoot that the old Altonville Mines are alive with activity once again. Following a breakthrough from local law enforcers, the notorious Skin Snatchers have been detained… but for how long?
NEW for 2025 – EDGE OF THE FOREST: Whispers wind through the withered woods at the edge of the Dark Forest, where a forgotten cottage stands as the last remnant of a forgotten time. Locals speak of the Leshwall, a lurking presence that twists the trees and plays tricks on the mind.

Scarefest Scare Zones
BURIAL GROUNDS: The Unchosen, a cult obsessive of modern-day fanatics obsessed with the lore of the Beornen invite you to their sacred sanctum of ancient burial grounds. Keep your pace amongst the desecrated realm of unearthed bodies, flaming shrines and monstrous deities. Stay too long and they will choose you too – are you ready?
NEW for 2025 – DARK HOLLOW: The forest breathes, its ancient roots stirring restless and shadows flicker between hollow trees. Dark Hollow is a free-flowing outdoor scare zone where a chilling presence watches, waiting to draw you deeper into the darkness. Can you escape the forest’s grasp before it claims you too?
Scare Zone & Scare Mazes are recommended for guests aged 12+
