About Haunted Fortress of Stanford

The Haunted Fortress of Stanford is a seasonal haunted house attraction where visitors walk through eerie sets populated by spooky characters. Since 1997, guests have navigated the swamp walk while encountering costumed actors performing in individual scenes throughout the Fortress. The experience takes place in a barn setting where visitors encounter makeup-painted performers in various costume scenes designed to create an atmosphere of creepiness and suspense. Sensory-friendly daytime shows offer an alternative experience with no scary sounds, strobe lights, or creepy actors, allowing guests to walk through the entire Fortress during daylight hours. The attraction operates on select weekends with evening hours published on its website. Closed-toe shoes are required for all visitors. The Haunted Fortress also welcomes volunteer actors ages six and up, who participate in costume selection, professional face makeup application, and scene-specific training before performances. Visitors and volunteers alike should check the venue's calendar or contact line for weather-related cancellations. The Haunted Fortress is located in Stanfordville, New York.
