Haunted Houses in Michigan (And a few Haunted Mazes, too)
Want to celebrate the spooky season with Halloween activities like a visit to a Haunted Attraction? Here’s what you need to know before going to a Haunted House near you: One size does not fit all.
Personal judgment is the biggest “rule” when it comes to an age limit for haunted houses in Michigan. You know yourself and your child the best.
In my own family, my nine-year-old is gangbusters for getting freaked out, whereas my 15-year-old wants nothing to do with it. This is definitely not the time for forced family fun.
