This October, the renowned Bradlee-McIntyre House of Longwood, Florida will play host to an exciting experiment in the supernatural.
Every home has its secrets! Hidden behind locked doors lurk disturbing facts that want nothing more than to remain buried in the shadows. Some doors should never be unlocked and, once opened, can never be closed. There are worse things than skeletons in a closet. Some closets are passageways to other realms. Desk drawers can hold strange prophecies. A kitchen pantry may be well-stocked... with deadly poison. The mysteries behind the history of the Bradlee-McIntyre House have been unearthed and now we are opening the doors to all who dare to enter.
You are invited on an immersive journey into the unsettling past of Longwood, Florida. Storyteller and Supernatural Enthusiast, Michael Matson, will lead brave souls on this frighteningly fun-filled theatrical walking tour of the Bradlee-McIntyre House featuring the best of both worlds; the world of the living and the world of the dead, bringing them together for a ghoulishly good time!
Follow in the footsteps of the house’s former owners and hear stories of their lavish lifestyle. Learn about the unusual traditional folklore, legends, and superstitions that were common in the 1800s to early 1900s. Discover concealed rooms filled with potentially scandalous secrets. Catch a glimpse of the afterlife as we explore the weird world of paranormal phenomenon through stories of spooky spiritual encounters and bone-chilling ghostly manifestations. Take part in unbelievably bizarre demonstrations of ill-fated illusion. Shed your mortal worries and face your fears with an enchanting evening of eerie entertainment that is guaranteed to thrill and chill this October!
Offered Saturdays & Sundays from 8:30 – 10:00 am
Weekday reservations available upon request.
Adventure is open to all ages but we suggest one adult per two youth.
Embark on a behind-the-scenes tour through this fan-favorite exhibit which emulates animal habitats found in nature. Throughout your guided experience, you will participate in animal touches and feedings while learning about animal husbandry and the care that goes into keeping our animals happy and healthy. Once you’re familiar with the lay of the land, it’s time to learn the ropes and become an animal keeper!
Did you know our animal ambassadors are big fans of food prep? Our animals’ diets are designed to fit each of their unique nutritional needs. Help us prepare the day’s meals and feed some of our four-legged friends!
Enrichment is also a crucial part of our animals’ health and wellbeing. Learn how keepers use enrichment to keep animals physically and mentally fit. This will be demonstrated while an animal ambassador paints a two-colored masterpiece for you to take home as a keepsake for your exciting day!
Meet an animal ambassador! Once you've finished your animal keeper training, there will be time for a special opportunity to interact with an animal ambassador* and pose for photo-ops.
*Animal encounters are just as enriching for the animals as the humans who participate in them but, like humans, sometimes they want to stick to their own schedule. Animal well-being is our top priority, so if a particular animal does not want to participate in that day’s private experiences, our staff will select another exciting animal ambassador for you to meet!
