Cindy’s Insider Ohio Tips

Haunted houses are so much fun for the brave and adventurous types! If you are planning a visit to a haunted house with the family, be sure to check the website to see the ages that will enjoy the attraction and not be too frightened! If your teenager plans to visit a haunted house without you, I recommend checking online for parent waivers. Many haunted houses require signed parent waivers for underage visitors to participate.
