Face The Fear

Welcome to “Gator Guardhouse,” an immersive outdoor fear attraction that transports guests to a long-abandoned prison, where the legends of former inmates and the remnants of their desperate escape still linger on the premises.

Locked away deep in the swamps of Central Florida, the worst of the worst were sent to the Gator Guardhouse. They were locked away, out of sight, out of mind, and if they escaped they had to survive the gator infested swampland surrounding the prison.

The space for these tours are limited – will you dare to see if you can Escape the Croc?

With a PG rating, this spine-tingling adventure invites visitors to uncover the chilling legacy of the Gator Guardhouse while navigating the terrifying remnants of its dark past.
