There is a new frightful event coming your way! The Terror of Boggy Creek will be held every Friday and Saturday from Friday, Oct. 3 to Saturday, Nov. 1, from 6:30-11 p.m. Once the sun sets…the swamp awakens. The Terror of Boggy Creek Haunted Airboat ride is a chilling Halloween Park after dark.
The Haunted Truck experience—Southport Zone 9—has guests climb aboard a military style truck and journey deep into the woods. The containment has failed— the creatures have mutated, and the only way out is through the woods. Enter a long forgotten carnival with the clowns that never left—and they don’t like visitors. Navigate the wooded path as twisted laughter echoes in the dark.
Nighttime airboat rides glide you across moon lite swamp waters, where glowing pierce the darkness and gators stir just beneath the surface.
