**Dorney Park’s Halloween Haunt opens Friday, September 18, and visitors should budget for more than a regular admission ticket if they want to enter the haunted mazes.** The park’s [official event page](https://www.sixflags.com/dorneypark/events/halloween-haunt?ref=theamericanquorum.com) says the nighttime event runs on select dates through October 31 and debuts Blair Witch: No Signal, a new maze inspired by the film franchise.

The ticket structure is the most important pre-trip detail. Dorney Park lists an admission-and-maze bundle starting at $60 online, plus taxes and processing fees of up to $9.99\. Guests who already have park admission can buy a date-specific Haunted Attractions Pass starting at $15; the [maze pass does not include admission](https://www.sixflags.com/dorneypark/events/halloween-haunt?ref=theamericanquorum.com). Express upgrades are also offered. In other words, a daily ticket or season pass gets a visitor through the gate, but it does not by itself unlock the haunted mazes.

For opening night, the regional tourism bureau’s [event listing](https://www.discoverlehighvalley.com/events/halloween-haunt/?ref=theamericanquorum.com) shows hours of 6 to 11 p.m. The 2026 lineup includes six mazes, five scare zones and four live entertainment experiences. Beyond Blair Witch: No Signal, the park lists returning mazes including Trick or Treat, Roadside Stop N’ Chop, Necropolis, Blood on the Bayou and Ghost in the Machine. A new 12-minute show, The Conductor, combines percussion, violin, music and pyrotechnics inside the McTavish Steel Yard.

Families and teen groups should read the rules before leaving home. Dorney Park’s [code of conduct, updated September 17](https://www.sixflags.com/dorneypark/code-of-conduct?ref=theamericanquorum.com), says there is no re-entry after 7 p.m. and no admission after 10 p.m. on Haunt nights. Guests 15 or younger must be accompanied by a chaperone age 21 or older by 4 p.m.; one chaperone may accompany no more than 10 such guests and must remain in the park and be reachable by phone. Guests 16 or older may be asked for government-issued photo identification.

The nighttime Haunt is not recommended for children younger than 13\. Dorney Park’s separate [daytime Tricks and Treats event](https://www.sixflags.com/blog/new-season-new-experiences-at-dorney-park-in-2026?ref=theamericanquorum.com) begins Saturday, September 19, and runs on weekends through November 1 as the family-oriented alternative.
