How Much Do Reno Haunted Houses Cost in 2026? Every Price, Compared
General admission runs $20 to $35 in the Reno area, VIP tiers hit $45, and four of the best haunts in town cost nothing at all. Every verified price in one place.
Here’s every verified price in the Reno-area haunt scene, what the upgrades actually buy, and where the free scares live. Prices are from each haunt’s most recent posted season; we update as 2026 pricing lands.
The professional haunts
| Haunt | GA | Upgrades | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Prison | $24.95–$34.95 by night | VIP tier with priority line | Timed entry; weekend nights price higher and sell out |
| Corn Creepers | $20 online, $22 at farm | Zombie Paintball separate | 15-minute timed entry slots |
| The Final Hour | $30 | $45 VIP skip-the-line | Cheapest big walkthrough in the area |
A night at a Reno haunt costs less than half of what the big Vegas and Bay Area attractions charge, and the area’s top haunt runs $25 to $35 depending on the night. Weeknights sit at the bottom of every range and come with shorter lines. That’s the whole strategy: go Thursday.
What VIP actually buys
At Dark Prison, the VIP tier includes priority line placement, a behind-the-scenes history tour of the prison, lounge access overlooking the yard, and a drink. At The Final Hour, $45 is a straight skip-the-line pass. Neither is necessary on a weeknight. Both earn their price on the two Saturdays before Halloween, when lines at every haunt in America hit their peak.
The free ones
Reno’s home haunts cost nothing and rank among the best experiences in the area. The Ambush in Wingfield Springs runs a full backyard walkthrough with a dozen live actors, free, with donations going to the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation. Silver Raven charges a canned good for the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. Britt’s Wicked Manor and Deadwood Manor are free too. Bring what a ticket would have cost and donate it; that’s the economy these haunts run on.
Events and oddities
The Reno Zombie Crawl sells crawl cups for roughly $7 to $20, and your bar tab is the real ticket. Washoe Club ghost tours in Virginia City run about $8, the cheapest haunted thing you can do in Nevada that involves a real crypt. BooVille tickets sell through FearTicket with prices posted each season.
The math for a family of four
Cheapest full night out: a free home haunt circuit, $0 plus donations. Middle path: Corn Creepers at $80 for four, with the daytime festival as a bonus. Full send: Dark Prison on a Friday at roughly $120 for four, plus the yard’s food trucks. For comparison, one night at a major theme park’s Halloween event runs more than all three of those combined.
