AES Indiana’s Lights-on Hours ($9)

Tuesday–Saturday: 10 a.m.–3 p.m.
Wednesdays: 10 a.m.–3 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.–6:30 p.m.
Sundays: noon–5 p.m.
- Includes fun, upbeat music with all lights turned up.
- The same scary objects are in the house so can still be frightening for some children.
- Friendly-faced greeters without Halloween masks are in each room of the house passing out treats to visitors similar to trick-or-treating.
- Children can play seek-and-find with pictures of the annual Haunted House mascot as they move through the rooms of the house to help play up the fun of each room.
- Each room also features a Halloween-related fun fact to ask your child such as "how many bones are in the human body?" (Answer: 206!)
AAA's Frightening Hours ($9)
Hours:
Thursday–Saturday: 4–9 p.m.
- Includes eerie music and minimal lighting.
- Haunters hide throughout the house to jump out and scare unsuspecting visitors.
- Although visual effects are used to maximize the scare experience, the frightening factor of the Haunted House focuses more on the "startle" rather than gore.
- Many visitors will scream with surprise or fear as they move throughout the house.
