Valentine’s Day can be scary: asking your Valentine to be your’s, picking the correct flowers and hoping that gift isn’t delayed in delivery. But you can also take it one step farther with a Valentine’s Day haunted house in Florida, open for one weekend only.
Sir Henry’s Haunted Trail is located in Plant City, a destination in-between Tampa and Orlando. Visitors looking to visit should know that parking is free and closed toed shoes are highly recommend. This two night event will feature two separate haunted houses, Blackthorn Inn and Love Potion #13, both are included with ticket admission.
Love Potion #13 – Valentine’s Haunted House in Florida
Sick of playing matchmaker to a bunch of ungrateful and selfish people, Cupid has gone rogue. He went on a murderous rampage against lovers and yet people are still falling in love. Determined to break hearts and souls, he turns to a mysterious doctor and chemist who brews a secret “love potion.” Cupid tells the people of the village that this love potion will help them find their soulmate. Deceived, they eagerly consume the potion. Soon, horror and chaos erupts amongst couples as Valentine’s takes a dark bloody turn for the worst.
Blackthorn Inn – Valentine’s Haunted House in Florida
Blackthorn Bed and Breakfast has been hosting travelers, honeymooners and all manner of guests for years. It’s caretaker, Ms. Blackthorn, has overseen the estate for the last 50 years – since the untimely passing of her husband. She has very strict rules and etiquette that every guest must follow in order to stay at the inn. There are those who swear that Ms. Blackthorn secretly murders those who do not abide by her strict rules, burying them within the depths of the house. And now, the spirits of those murdered guests haunt the Inn. Do you dare to stay a night at this Inn? Or is it all just another ghost story?
Visiting Sir Henry’s Haunted Trail for Valentine’s Day
Offered on two nights only, this Valentine’s Day haunted house experience will be during the busy weekend dates of Feb. 9 & 10. Another horror aspect of this experience is having to drive on Florida’s Interstate 4. To prepare yourself, Sir Henry’s Haunted Trail believes there will be at least a one hour drive in traffic from Orlando and at least a 30 minute drive from Tampa.
You can pick earlier or later times in the evening from 6:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with suggestions to pick an earlier date to allow for more time in the common area. Alongside the haunted houses, which are included with admission, there are additional pay-per-experience offerings. Visitors can enjoy axe throwing, an escape game and laser tag.
