Halloween Haunt Conduct Policy and Guidelines

Fall Chaperone Policy 

The safety of our guests and associates has always been a top priority at Kings Dominion. In response to increasing incidents of disruptive behavior across the industry and at other entertainment venues, we are implementing enhanced policies to maintain a safe, family-friendly environment. 

To support this goal, all guests 17 years of age or younger must be accompanied by a chaperone who is at least 21 years old to be admitted into Kings Dominion and to remain in the park during designated times. 

Policy Details: 

• The Chaperone Policy is in effect daily beginning at 6:00 PM local time. Kings Dominion reserves the right to implement the policy earlier on any given day, which will be clearly communicated through official channels (e.g., website, app, social media, signage). 
• A valid government-issued photo ID with date of birth is required for all chaperones at entry. 
• One (1) chaperone may accompany no more than ten (10) guests aged 17 or younger. 
• Chaperones must: 
  • Enter the park with their group. 
  • Remain on park property for the duration of the group’s visit. 
  • Be readily available by phone and able to respond to park staff if needed. 
• Guests 18 years of age or older may be required to present ID to verify their age. Those unable to verify age may be denied entry unless accompanied by a qualifying chaperone. 
• Guests 17 and under who are found in the park without a chaperone while the policy is in effect will be subject to immediate removal from the park. 
• Chaperones who do not fulfill their responsibility (e.g., leaving the park, unreachable by phone) may result in the removal of their entire group. 

This policy applies to all guests attending Kings Dominion and is designed to ensure a safe, welcoming environment for all. 

We believe these updates will help preserve the positive atmosphere that millions of guests have come to expect from Kings Dominion, where families and friends can make lasting memories together. 

Please note the chaperone policy is subject to change prior to the event. 

Bag Policy 

To support a safe environment for our guests and to help expedite entry during Haunt, Kings Dominion is implementing enhanced bag restrictions after 6:00 PM local time daily. 

Bag Requirements: 

• After 6:00 PM, all bags must be no larger than 12” x 12” x 6”, regardless of material (clear or opaque). 
• Each guest is permitted to bring only one bag into the park after 6:00 PM.  
• All bags are subject to thorough inspection prior to entry at any time. 
• Oversized bags will not be permitted into the park after 6:00 PM. 

Exceptions: 

• Medically necessary items are permitted after proper inspection. 
• Guests with special circumstances may speak with a security supervisor upon arrival for consideration on a case-by-case basis. 

Additional Notes: 

• This policy applies to all bag types, including backpacks, purses, diaper bags, and camera bags. 
• Kings Dominion recommends guests minimize the number of items they bring to help streamline the entry process. 

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us create a safe and efficient park experience for all guests. 

No Re-Entry Policy 

To support the safety and flow of park operations during Haunt, guests who exit the park after 6:00 PM will not be permitted to re-enter the park on the same day. This no re-entry policy is in effect during all Haunt hours. 

Guests are encouraged to plan accordingly before exiting the park after the policy is in effect. 

Please note: No exceptions will be made once a guest has exited the park during restricted hours, regardless of ticket type. Re-entry is not permitted for forgotten items, weather conditions, or personal needs. 

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping create a secure and enjoyable experience for all guests during Haunt. 

Mask & Costume Policy 

To maintain a safe and family-friendly environment, the following costume and mask guidelines are in place at Kings Dominion: 

• Costume masks, full face paint, and costume attire are not permitted for guests aged 11 and older. 
• Trench coats, flak jackets, or similar military-style apparel are not allowed inside the park. 
• No masks of any kind are permitted on rides at any time. 

Exceptions:  

• Children 10 years old and under may wear costumes and masks during daytime hours as part of kid-focused events in designated areas only. 
• This policy does not apply to masks worn for health or safety purposes, such as those intended to reduce the spread of COVID-19 or other illnesses, as interpreted by park staff. Final discretion rests with park management. 

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us ensure a safe, inclusive environment for all guests. 

Photography & Recording Policy – Haunted Mazes 

For the safety of our scare actors and guests—and to preserve the immersive experience—no cameras, photography, video recording, or audio recording of any kind is permitted inside haunted mazes. This includes the use of cell phones, smartwatches, GoPros, camera eyeglasses, body cameras, or any other recording-capable device. 

Guests observed using recording devices inside haunted mazes may be subject to removal from the park without refund. 

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a thrilling and safe experience for everyone.
