Adventureland (Altoona, IA) is back with a new haunted house event – the Phantom Fall Fest. They haven’t had a haunted house event since 2018 when they hosted the “Haunted Hotel” at Adventureland Inn. You can see photos from that 2018 event in my theme park photo gallery.
For a detailed overview of Phantom Fall Fest, check out my contribution to Des Moines Parent:
