You must navigate the treacherous maze to escape\, or risk being her next victim. The Curse of the Bayou is not recommended for young children. Parental guidance is suggested. This is a walking attraction with an uneven trail\, tight corners\, low ceilings\, strobe lighting\, fog and loud noises. \nTicket Prices: • $15 for one attraction • $25 for both attractions • $35 Speed Pass for both attractions Last ticket sold at 10 PM. \nCash or Credit.
