Details

Fear Factory Queenstown is New Zealand's premier haunted house, offering visitors an exhilarating and immersive real-life horror experience in the heart of Queenstown. Located centrally, this unique attraction transforms the dark hallways of the old Lockhart Hotel into a spine-chilling maze where a trail of red lights guides the way through an unsettling atmosphere. It stands out as an adrenaline-pumping indoor activity, promising genuine scares and entertainment for those seeking a thrill.

The main highlight of the Fear Factory is its live horror show, featuring real actors and impressive special effects that bring visitors' deepest fears to life within the dimly lit passageways. For those preferring an experience without live performers, an automated show with advanced effects and animatronic creatures is also available. This personalised experience, typically lasting around 15 to 30 minutes, encourages guests to challenge their courage, with a humorous "Chicken List" awaiting those who cannot complete the terrifying journey.

This haunted attraction suits thrill-seekers and anyone looking for a memorable, fear-fueled laugh with companions. While primarily geared towards adults, children aged seven and over can participate when accompanied by a parent or guardian, making it a viable option for families with older teenagers. It is highly rated by visitors for its intense scares and entertainment value, working well for friends, couples, and groups seeking a unique and exciting activity in Queenstown.

It was such a fun experience we will definitely be doing it next time we come! The staff were so nice especially Lucia and Tom they made us feel so welcome and excited. I love the themes of the place and how they have cool spooky make up. Although it was extremely terrifying it was such an amazing time! Thank you

Hilarious experience, was terrifying but funny to watch back.
Big mention to Lucia, she was the sweetest, she was so helpful and patient, laughed along with us, but was so kind and attentive. She definitely deserves some kind of promotion. She made the experience even better, so glad we had her to guide us, wonderful human being really!
