Do you accept Credit Cards, Debit Cards or Checks?
We accept cash or checks at the gate.  Please make out checks to VLI. We only
accept
credit or debit card payments online. If you pay online you are given the
advantage of a priority admission ticket which entitles you to go to the front of the
line!


Do you offer any discounts or coupons?
We offer many money saving opportunities.  Opening Night admission on Thu.
October 20th is only $5.  The Dual Pass will save you $5 off of the regular price of
both attractions.  A canned food item will get you a buck off of admission to either
attraction.  

Here's a
printable coupon you may use for a dollar off admission to either of the
attractions.  Please notice coupons and canned food items may not be combined
for larger discounts.

Don't forget that if you
pay online you will get the added value of not having to wait
in line once you get to the house.  Terror in the Dark is proud to be the best value
against any haunted attraction in the Black Hills.


Is there an age restriction? / Just how scary is it?
Sorry, no one under 10 years old is allowed in the house.  We pride ourselves on
scaring the yell out of you.  You will find some disturbing images and a lot of
extremely scary situations.  Be advised that our house is not for the faint of heart!


Where does the Haunted House take place?
Soule Building at the Central States Fairgrounds in Rapid City, SD


How do I get to the Haunted House?
To see what the scare is all about head to the corner of Omaha St. and Campbell
St.  From there go South to the main entrance of the Central States Fairgrounds.  
Then turn right and travel about 1/4 mile to parking entrance. Turn right again and
be sure to park on the paved parking lot.  Look for the very large building with the
spooky front and lines of people waiting to get in!!


How large is the Haunted House?
We are the LARGEST haunted attraction in the state of South Dakota!!!  We have
a total of 12,000 terrifying square feet of ground for this spooktacular event.




How many people go through the Haunted House?
We scare on average 500 people a night and approximately 4,000 patrons total
each year.


How long do I have to wait to get into the Haunted House?
On Friday and Saturday you can expect the line to be long unless you arrive early.
The weekdays are usually slower.  Obviously weather plays a big role in attendance
as well.   We've been doing this for over ten years so don't worry about waiting too
long.  We keep groups of 2 to 6 people going in the house at least every couple
minutes.


Do we have to wait outside in the cold before getting into the
Haunted House?
We have a very large indoor waiting area that is sheltered from the cold.  At peak
times the line might extend outdoors, but we keep the groups going quickly.


Do you have food or drinks available in the waiting room?
Near the beginning of the line we have a concession stand that is run by different
local groups, clubs, and organizations each night (If you're group is interested in
volunteering please
contact us).   We usually have pop, hotdogs, popcorn,
assorted candy, and hot drinks available for purchase.


How long does it take to go through the Haunted House?
From beginning to end on average it will take you at least 20 to 30 minutes, but
sometimes longer depending on your groups speed.


How much food do you collect?
We are proud to be the third largest producer of canned food items every year for
the
KOTA Care and Share Food Drive! On average we collect 2.000 pounds + food
items for the Black Hills Food Bank each year.


How long does it take to organize the Haunted House?
Organizing and planning a haunted attraction of this magnitude is truly a year round
process. After Halloween we take a couple months off, but usually in January we are
back at it again.


Can I help with the Haunted House?
We utilize over 2,000 hours of volunteer time and are always in need of more
people to help us in any way they can. Details include construction, set-up, move-in,
costumes, props, manning/acting the house and tear-down and clean-up. If you are
wanting to take a special part in our cause then you might like to become a board
member. No matter how you help it is much appreciated!
