More About the Fear Haunted House at Navy Pier:

The Fear Haunted House at Chicago's Navy Pier has become one of the "must do" attractions during the Halloween season. The premise of the haunted house is that "The Captain" has traveled around the world amassing a collection of evil creatures, that he keeps chained up in shipping containers. How secure these containers are is anybody's guess...

The Fear is filled with creepy characters waiting to scare you at every turn. This haunted house is most definitely not appropriate for children.

A trip through The Fear Haunted House takes approximately 20 minutes.
