Children explore a well-lit, Halloween-themed playhouse that introduces fun characters along the way. Smaller children are invited to attend the Not So Scary Adventure for Kids, which will be held Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 12pm-4pm in October. Gateway’s Haunted Playhouse is recommended for ages 13 and older. This Bellport Haunt was named One of America’s Best Haunted Attractions by Hauntworld Magazine, the world’s number one haunted house resource, and had since built on that success. It has received favorable attention by the New York Times, and has been cited as one of the top ten haunted houses in New York by USA Today. Gateway’s Haunted Playhouse has won the title of Scariest Haunted House on Long Island for three years in a row by popular vote on an interactive News12 poll.
It has received praise from numerous outlets at the local, state and national levels. Since its first year in 2009, Gateway’s Haunted Playhouse has grown from its original two-week run, to now include six-weeks of terrifying scares.
