Nowhere Entertainment

Sunday, October 27th, 2024, from 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm.

Join us for a Halloween themed afternoon at Nowhere Entertainment in Inver Grove Heights, MN. We encourage you to come dressed up in your costume. There will be a catered taco bar lunch with desserts and lemonade.

Activities include:

• Unlimited Mini Golf
• You will receive an Arcade Card ($20 value ~ can be used to play about 10-15 arcade games)
• And (optional) Behind-the-Scenes Tour of the Haunted House! (Details below)
  • You will sign up for the Haunted House tour when you arrive at the event.

About the Haunted House Tour:

Nowhere Haunted House’s Behind-the-Scenes Tour is a guided, lights on look at how a haunted house operates. There will be no actors on the tour, no spooky audio, and the animatronics will be powered off.  You will see our detailed sets, hear the history and creation of Nowhere, see and touch animatronics, go “backstage” where actors prepare for their roles, and learn how haunted houses are another form of theater.

Although no actors will be in the haunted house and the animatronics will not be on, some kids may feel uncomfortable or nervous with specific scenes or certain elements, while others want more. Creepy elements include skeletons, bugs, an abandoned hospital, creepy old house with dirty rooms, clowns, and fake blood. We will offer two levels of the Behind the Scenes Tour. The first will have most of the fake blood covered up (we aren’t able to cover up everything), the second will show all scenes and elements containing fake blood.

Every child’s “scare level” is unique. Some are not fazed by scary elements, while others can be triggered by them. It’s important to remember that trauma may impact how people react to haunted houses. We believe parents and caregivers are the experts on their children and will make the best decision for a child in their care.
