Frequently Asked Questions

SCREAM-A-GEDDON is what happens when the best minds in the haunted house industry come together in Tampa Bay, Florida to produce a premier haunted house experience.

Located in Dade City, Florida, just minutes from Tampa and Orlando, SCREAM-A-GEDDON is a Halloween horror park event like no other.

There are two ways to purchase tickets:

  • Tickets may be purchased on the tickets page of our website. The cheapest tickets will always be found on the tickets page of our website.
  • You may purchase tickets on site at the box office. Please note tickets purchased at the box office are $5 more than the online ticket price.

There are three ways to access your tickets after purchase:

  • Log in to the Showclix website to access your tickets.
  • Bring your ID to the box office upon arrival so we can assist you to retrieve your tickets.
  • Contact customer support by submitting a contact form.

Purchasing a ticket to SCREAM-A-GEDDON is the same as purchasing a ticket to a concert or event. All sales are final. We do not issue refunds on any tickets or purchases.

The ticket transfer window ends 24 hours before the start of the event. Tickets may not be transferred within 24 hours of the start of the event. Ticket transfers are subject to a $5 per ticket transfer fee (plus tax), as well as any price difference between the original amount paid and the price for the same ticket type on the new day of attendance.

The price difference at the time of transfer will be calculated as:

The ticket price listed on the website on the new day of attendance

minus

The original amount paid.

A refund will not be issued if the original ticket price is higher than the ticket price for the new day of attendance, nor will this amount be applied to the $5 per ticket transfer fee.

The ticket transfer fee is not refundable. If your new date of attendance happens to be cancelled, you will receive a full refund of your original purchase price but you will not receive a refund of the transfer fee.

Guests must transfer their ticket to a new date. Tickets transfers cannot be “held” for a future, unselected date.

Yes. Tickets are the same price whether you visit all of the attractions or not.

Guests are not allowed to touch the monsters, props, or scenes inside of our haunted house attractions.

The monsters inside of our haunted house attractions do not touch you, but they do get very close. Occasionally, you may brush up against them or their weapons.

However, a few of our attractions are “interactive”. Visitors entering our interactive attractions will be faced with an important decision:

  • Should you enter and simply watch the action?
  • Or should you “mark” yourself to truly interact with the creatures within?

Those who opt-in for a truly interactive experience may be grabbed, held back, sent into hidden rooms, removed from their group or even forced to remain…

Choose wisely.

(Customers must be at least 18 years old to “mark” themselves)

Much of our facility is outdoors with unpaved terrain, including grassy and rocky areas.

Both of the indoor haunted attractions are wheelchair accessible and the guest-accessible areas of the Monster Midway are wheelchair accessible.

Please note that all of the outdoor attractions, including Zombie Paintball Assault, are located in open fields or in the woods and are not wheelchair accessible due to uneven terrain and natural hazards attendant upon their location.

SCREAM-A-GEDDON is recommended for adults and teens, but younger children may attend if parents choose to bring them.

Our insurance company requires all guests to complete a waiver before entering our park. Guests under 18 years old must have their parent’s or guardian’s signature on their waiver. Entry into the park without correctly completing a waiver will be considered trespassing.

We recommend you complete your waiver ahead of time at Waiver.SCREAMAGEDDON.com – Do NOT email or mail your waiver to us. Your completed hard copy waiver must be presented in person at the main entrance of the park.

Hard copy waivers will also be available on site, but please be aware that completing your waiver on site may delay your entrance into the park.

Regardless, we recommend you arrive 30 minutes before the park opens to allow enough time for parking & waiver check in, and to maximize your time at the park.

We are one of the largest independent haunted house scream parks in the country, so you should expect the longest lines on Fridays and Saturdays.

Regardless of the night, we highly recommend purchasing a VIP Fast Pass to avoid long waits in line. By purchasing a VIP Fast Pass you can skip the General Admission line once per attraction by using the Fast Pass lane.

Or, you can skip both the General Admission line and VIP Fast Pass lane and go directly into the attraction with NO WAIT by purchasing the SUPER VIP Fast Pass.
