Be Scared and Be Safe

For the safety of our guide and all tour guests, tour guests are required to wear masks.
Please stay close to your party during the tour, and try to maintain a six foot distance from other parties.
Only one member of each party should check-in for the entire party.
Tickets must be purchased in advance, no walk-ups allowed.
Guides are equipped with voice amplification devices so that guests can hear stories from a safe distance.
If you are not feeling well, stay home. Refunds, less ticket processing fees, will be issued to those who cancel due to illness.

Spooky Sponsors

Chinook Winds Casino Resort

Chinook Winds Casino Resort provides transportation on dark and stormy nights to get our guests from ghost to ghoul to Bigfoot in comfort and style.

Prehistoric

You haven’t been scared by a skeleton until you’ve been scared by one that’s 75 million years old. For a look at skeletons and bones from another epoch, be sure to visit our sponsor, Prehistoric. This is the only place in Lincoln City that’s haunted by velociraptors, ankylosauruses and those frightening, little trilobites.

Ghost loggers and a Bigfoot are one thing. A ghost T-Rex is quite another. Visit them if you dare.
