Your group will be taken by customized passenger van to a remote, off-site location for 50 minutes (part drive-thru/part walk-thru) of intense scares, a whole lot of FUN and maybe some dancing, chasing, hiding, bumping music, sparks, partying & cool cars.

Please note, there are 3 rooms you may not “mercy out” of once you have entered. Look for warning signs and listen to the actors.

Gnarliest haunt I've ever been to - in a good way
I’ve attended The 17th Door for multiple years, watching as they build on the story of their main character Paula, and keep one-upping themselves on intensity. At times, it’s a bit much – unpleasant shocks, getting drenched, etc – but it’s ALWAYS memorable. Nothing they do will actually harm you, though in the moment it is very uncomfortable. Build quality, immersion, special effects and acting is all top-notch. If you have the stomach for a little discomfort beyond typical jump scares, I’d highly recommend giving 17th Door a go!
