About:

Founded in 1975, The Edge of Hell began as KC's oldest and best haunted house--and has evolved into the national model for celebrating the entertainment value of confronting fear. A converted five story warehouse, it offers a quarter-mile walk through sensory stimulation--that ends abruptly 30 minutes later, as you slide from heaven down the five-story spiral slide into the arms of the Devil himself. This is the granddaddy of 'em all--and with good reason. The Edge of Hell is constantly re-inventing it's five floors. New scenes are always added to the cast of 45 live performers with the newest state-of-the-art technology. The air crackles, your fingertips sizzle. One million volts surge to grab you. A Vampire lunges, his hot breath violates your lungs. A 20 foot live Anaconda's eyes dart left then right, poised to crush his live prey.. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. It's generally way too scary for kids under 10 who have nightmares. Then again, it's also too scary for claustrophobic aunts, big crybabies or people afraid of snakes. (And that's just the beginning) Important!!

History:

Why The Edge of Hell is known as the "Grandaddy" Established in 1975, The Edge of Hell began as Kansas City's oldest and best Haunted House and has molded into a national model for celebrating the Halloween season. 2004 will mark the 30th anniversary for patrons to celebrate Hell's existence. This converted five story warehouse is the Granddaddy of 'em all, and with good reason. It offers a 30 minute, quarter mile walk-thru of sensory stimulation. It's many scenes are elaborate and detailed and with a cast of over 45 "live" performers, including two of the largest Anacondas in North American captivity. Don't miss the Purgatory scene, walk across an authentic swinging rope bridge, crawl into the graveyard and run through Dracula's living room. Ascend to Heaven where you confront your sins then it's down the five story slide into the arms of the Devil himself! Can you make it through hell and back?
