Nightmare at UREC Activities
- Hall-O-Scream: Hallway of Terror - Line starts in Sports Forum 1 - Enter across from MAC 1
- In the narrow hallway, guests face a choice: turn right to enter the asylum haunted by clowns with eerie grins and sudden surprises, or go left into the zombie graveyard, where faint whispers and chilling cries echo from shadowy corners. Each path dares you forward, but the echoes and strange movements make it impossible to predict what’s waiting just beyond the next turn.
- Warning: Flashing lights, jump scare and darkness. A no-scare sensory friendly experience is available through registration.
- Zombie Lab - Line starts in Sports Forum 1 - Enter across from MAC 1
