What makes it 44% Kids-Friendly: Children 6-12 may enter with an adult and can exit by saying “nightmares”, but full darkness, loud grabs, and no washrooms make it unsuitable for most young kids who frighten easily.
Note: Nightmares Fear Factory is 44% Kids-Friendly. You may want to consider other Kids-Friendly Things to Do in Niagara Falls for a more suitable experience.
Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Allows time for the queue, 15-minute walkthrough, safe-word practice and souvenir photo purchase.
Pitch-Black Maze Walk-Through:
Walk a 15-minute maze lit only by red lights. Live actors use sudden noises and touches.
Tip: Teach kids the safe-word “nightmares” so they can exit immediately if they feel too scared.
“Chickenlist” Dare:
Quit halfway to get your name added to the public “chickenlist” board in the lobby.
Tip: Encourage siblings to cheer on whoever makes it to the end to build fun family memories.
Souvenir Scream Photo:
Pose mid-scream for a framed photo at the exit.
Tip: Review the reaction gallery in the lobby to plan a fun pose; photos cost CAD 8 each.

Absolutely amazing. Im from out west and really wanted to do a haunted house. Our bartender from Kelseys said this was hands down the best place on the strip. Me and my bf went and he backed out almost right away. They were awesome and escorted him out and told me to stay exactly where I was. When the door closed I was immediately touched and scared. I screamed the entire time!!! My fit bit was go...

This place was scary and great! From start to finish, it had my heart racing. The atmosphere, the screams, and the unexpected twists made it one of the best haunted experiences I’ve ever been through. If you love a good scare, this is the place to go—you won’t walk out the same way you walked in! 👻💀

I really like this park. It’s very quiet, and there are large grassy areas that are perfect for bringing children to play.

Kind of lame. The anticipation of it was scarier than the actual experience. I was scared more by Pennywise at the wax museum. You basically fumble around in the pitch black until the end with nearly no real scary points. I think there may have been 2 points where someone attempted a jump scare tactic and they weren’t even that suprising.

Based on comparison to all the places in Niagara Falls. Not to compare to haunt manor as that’s a full hunted adventure. A few jump scares and getting lost when you can’t see. The lines maybe be long but they send you thru separately so it’s just your group. It’s good for a one time walk thru and fun to times with family.
Open year-round. In winter, bring warm jackets while you wait outside. In summer, stay hydrated before entering the humid, confined spaces.
