A variety of haunted attractions. A select number of non-scary attractions for young children and designated no-scare zones in Kiddieland. No costumes, masks or face makeup permitted. The one thing Lagoon’s site doesn’t make obvious: admission gets you every haunted house, but the most immersive scare of the bunch–Seance–is a separate $17 ticket sold only at the show entrance, and it sells out.

Now in its sixth year, this is the rare Halloween walk-through built for kids who want the costumes without the fright. Families follow a lit path through the gardens and meet Frankenstein’s monster, Count Dracula, the Headless Horseman and Madame Zilda — characters played much closer to silly than scary. The Spooky Hollow Munchery at the end sells popcorn, hot chocolate, cotton candy and caramel apples, most of it a dollar. Tickets are timed and reserved online. The whole thing runs outdoors, so dress for an October evening. Children 2 and under are free.
