Terror Vault

Q: Is the attraction ADA-accessible?
A: Unfortunately, it is not accessible by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The San Francisco Mint is an extremely old building, built in 1874. It has not had many upgrades since then, including those that would make it ADA-friendly. The attraction is spread across multiple floors making stairs necessary. Also, the only elevator is not located near the older more decrepit parts of the building that house the attraction. However, the Fang Bang Bar experience and CreepShop are ADA-accessible. The bar is part of the attraction and free to the public with character interaction and ambiance. If you are disabled and want to visit the bar, send us an email at info@intothedarksf.com. We can arrange for you to make a safe entrance and exit.

Q: Is the attraction accessible to the hearing-imparied?
A: We can hire an interpreter for guests who are hearing-impaired. We also recommend that they read the script ahead of time. While this might spoil some of the surprises in the show, having an understanding of the story can enhance their overall experience and give clarity to the immersive aspects. Please email us at info@intothedarksf.com to get more information.

Q. Is this a walk-through haunted house?
A. Yes and No. This is a fully theatrical, immersive haunted show. It has a complete storyline combining elements of theater, 4D effects, and haunted mazes. Expect the unexpected!

Q. What do you mean by immersive?
A. You will be placed in the action as a participant in this twisted tale of horror. More than the 4th wall gets broken here. As in any theatrical production, there is NO cell phone use and NO talking unless encouraged by an actor. If you disrupt or disturb the experience, you will be swiftly removed without a refund. However, screaming is acceptable… and inevitable.

Q. How long is the experience? How many people in a group?
A. The experience is around 1 hour long. We limit the groups to 10 people. If you don’t want to be placed with strangers, we suggest getting 10 people together for a complete group. When you arrive, let us know you are all together and we will accommodate you.

Q. What does the VIP ticket include?
A. The VIP TICKET includes:
