If you missed out on tickets, we will have our stand-by line available at the event. While we cannot promise entry, historically, we’ve been able to accommodate all patrons waiting in the stand-by line. 

The stand-by line will be open at 1:45 for the afternoon sessions and 5:45 for the evening sessions. It is located at the north end of Constitution Circle (near the Vietnam Memorial.)

Our most popular event, Active Pages, is back with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein! Walk with us through the park as you hear this classic spooky story unfold.

Children 12 and under will receive a free book.

This is a walking event with groups departing every five minutes.

This session is perfect for those who like a spookier experience. We recommend the afternoon session for those who scare easily.
