Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring to the fort for the evening?
To help ensure that guests enjoy their stay at Historic Fort Wayne, the event staff of the Haunted Tours recommends that all participants consider bringing the following items on their tour date:
- Wear comfortable clothing, and dress appropriately for the weather expected on your tour date. If rain is forecast, consider bringing an umbrella or raincoat, as the tours are held rain or shine. Please note: while there are several buildings accessible on the tour for guests to explore, a large portion of your evening will be spent outdoors.
- Wear sturdy, comfortable walking shoes. Historic Fort Wayne is a large facility with grounds covering over 80 acres. Additionally, several buildings are part of the tour, some of which contain multiple floors and steps.
- Carry a flashlight. The majority of the fort grounds are not lit at night and traversing some of these areas can prove challenging without some form of illumination. In addition, certain areas of some structures contain steep and narrow staircases and can be potentially hazardous without proper lighting. You may want also to bring along a back-up flashlight. Bringing extra batteries for your lights is strongly recommended.
- Use the buddy system - always travel in groups or pairs when possible. While event staff travel the fort grounds throughout the night to assist guests, they cannot cover the fort grounds completely. Having a traveling partner ensures that in the event of an emergency help can be brought in a timely manner.
- To record your evening at Historic Fort Wayne, you may wish to bring a recording device of some sort. Still cameras, camcorders and audio recorders of all types are allowed. Bringing extra batteries for any recording devices is highly recommended.
- As the tours last until very early in the morning, guests are permitted (and encouraged) to bring their own drinks and refreshments. Please note however that alcoholic beverages of any type are strictly prohibited from the fort grounds. In addition, a limited assortment of light snacks and beverages will be available for purchase at the tour.
