Is Haunted Mansion Holiday Kid-Friendly?

Kids of all ages can take a ride on the Haunted Mansion Holiday – but some may find it more kid-friendly than others. It all depends on how your kids fare with slightly spooky subjects.

Keep in mind that while the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay is more festively fun than the original attraction, some of the characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas may be spooky or scary for little ones.

There is no height restriction for this attraction, but it’s important to note that it is dark and does contain some mild frights. The ghosts and characters inside may be friendly, but some kids may get spooked by their appearances.

Best For: School-age kids, tweens, and teens who aren’t afraid of dark rides and light frights.

Will Haunted Mansion Holiday Cause Motion Sickness?

Haunted Mansion Holiday’s Doom Buggies are very slow-moving and follow a track with no twists or stomach-churning turns, so it shouldn’t cause motion sickness for most guests.
