North Louisiana’s Premier Haunted Attraction
Venture into two distinctly different nightmares. Follow Deadfall Trail deep into the Louisiana woods, where something ancient has awakened, then lose yourself inside the warped colors and fractured reality of Alice’s Madhouse in 3D. Live characters, detailed environments and special effects surround you at every turn.
The last scream you hear may be your own.

Two Terrifying Haunted Attractions
Deadfall Trail
Deadfall Trail unleashes terror across more than one-third of a mile of Louisiana woodland. Something ancient has awakened beneath the pine hills, drawing cruel creatures and tormented souls into the darkness. Detailed environments, costuming, special effects and live characters surround you as the trail pulls you deeper into its nightmare. Will you make it out before the woods claim you?
Alice’s Madhouse in 3D: Descent
Step through the looking glass and into Alice’s fractured mind, where the asylum bleeds into a twisted Wonderland and vivid 3D illusions make the walls seem to move around you. The Mad Hatter and White Rabbit are waiting—but they are no longer the characters you remember. Find your way through the disorienting maze before the monstrous Jabberwocky finds you.
In this Wonderland, losing your head is only the beginning.
