Graham Creek’s Haunted Forest: SINISTER CIRCUS

The circus has come to Graham Creek… but something has gone terribly wrong.

This October, step right up and enter SINISTER CIRCUS, Graham Creek Nature Preserve’s 2026 Haunted Forest.

What was supposed to be a night beneath the big top has taken a much darker turn. The main circus entrance is closed, the midway has seen better days, and you’ve been rerouted through the part of the circus guests were never supposed to see.

Your journey will take you behind the scenes and through the dark woods, where the carnies are still hanging around, the maintenance crew is questionable at best, and some of the circus attractions should probably have stayed locked away.

Make your way through the grungy back lots and maintenance areas, past twisted carnival games, creepy carnies, forgotten performers and the strange sights lurking beyond the midway. Somewhere ahead, the freak show is waiting… and not everything inside is part of the act.

This is not a cheerful night at the circus.

The lights are fading. The performers are restless. And once you enter, the only way out is through.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Sinister Circus is a walk-through haunted attraction located outdoors at Graham Creek Nature Preserve. Guests will travel through wooded and outdoor areas and may encounter darkness, uneven terrain, fog, flashing or strobe-style lighting, loud noises, theatrical effects, confined-feeling spaces and live scare actors.

For everyone's safety, guests may not touch actors, props or set pieces, and actors will not intentionally touch guests.

Please wear closed-toe, comfortable shoes appropriate for walking outdoors.

This event is held outdoors and is rain or shine unless conditions become unsafe. Please check Graham Creek Nature Preserve's social media for weather-related announcements or event updates.

The circus is waiting.
