Even though we are still in the heart of the summer, the fall season will be upon us before we know it. You will want to save a date in your calendar to visit Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor in Long Beach, California. Dark Harbor will run from September 28th through November 1, 2017. For 23 haunted evenings, guests will experience more monsters, more nights and more mazes than ever before.

Returning mazes Soulmate and B340. Mazes Circus, Intrepid, Deadrise, and Lullaby have been transformed to newly intensified, darker than imaginable, and evermore twisted. With 7 mazes and 13 bars, fire shows, aerialists, sliders, Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch’s Sinister Swings, monster DJs, Voodoo House Bar & Tasting Room, R.I.P. Lounge, and much more, Dark Harbor is a freakishly fun time.

What’s New This Year

• FEAST ~ for the first time in Dark Harbor history, FEAST will be the 4th maze on board the infamously haunted ship.This new maze tells the tale of Chef, a legendary spirit of the historic R.M.S. Queen Mary. As the tale goes, During WWII when the Queen Mary was in service as a troop transport ship, an enlisted military man serving in the ship’s kitchen quickly moved up the ranks to become a highly-decorated Chef.Unbeknownst to the soldiers traveling aboard, Chef had a dark side. Quietly he would sedate soldiers in the middle of the night to prepare them as ingredients for his latest dishes.Eventually caught, the Chef was thrown into one of his own ovens and cooked alive.Loyal to their leader Chef’s dutiful kitchen staff sacrificed their lives to become his evil henchmen, burning themselves in the same oven. The spirits of Chef and his evil crew went into hiding aboard the ship for many years. Now, these long-time stowaways have resurfaced to resume their deadly duties of collecting and preparing victims for Chef’s latest concoctions.
• ICE BAR EXPERIENCE – THE MEAT LOCKER ~ Venture into the frozen depths of Chef’s Meat Locker where he keeps his latest victims on ice. This one-of-a-kind ice bar experience will take you into a 7-degree environment for up to 20-minutes if you can stand the frigid cold! Choose from a curated selection of flavored vodkas to create your custom tasting flight, but keep one eye open for Chef to make sure you don’t end up in his next recipe. (Up to 30 Guests per Session)
• CHEF’S FEAST EXPERIENCE – Join the newest member of the Dark Harbor monster family as he takes you on a terrifying trip through the galley in the brand new maze.
