As the desert sun sets and shadows stretch across the ruins of Vulture City, the past begins to stir…
Join us for The Awakening, Vulture City Ghost Town’s signature Halloween weekend event that blends rich Old West history with eerie storytelling, immersive environments, and just the right amount of fright.
Wander through over 16 original 1800s buildings by lantern light, each one brought to life with haunting scenes, costumed characters, and ghostly legends tied to the town’s real past. This is not a typical haunted house — it’s a living, breathing ghost story woven through the historic heart of a once-thriving gold rush settlement.
🕯️ Haunted House Experience
Step inside our atmospheric haunted house, filled with shadowy corners, flickering lights, and surprises around every turn. It’s designed to thrill, not terrify — spooky enough to keep you on your toes, but fun for most ages 10 and up.
🍬 Guided Trick-or-Treating
Younger guests and families can enjoy guided trick-or-treating through the ghost town, collecting candy at festively decorated historic buildings while interacting with friendly, in-character guides.
