Waterford-Based Metro Detroit Haunted House Weekend

Dinner by the water

Aim for H2O’s Waterside Grill around 6:30 p.m. and give yourselves about 1–1½ hours for dinner; budget roughly $20–40 per person. It’s right on the Bay City waterfront, so enjoy the river views, but keep an eye on the clock: you’ll want to leave with enough time to reach The Edson Incident before your planned 8 p.m. entry. Check your booking confirmation for the exact address, arrival instructions, and whether you need to be there early for check-in.

The Edson Incident — then an optional Saginaw stop

Allow about 1–1½ hours at The Edson Incident, including any queue; tickets are listed at $27, and the entry time should be confirmed when you book. Factory of the Dead in Saginaw is the next stop, around 25–30 minutes away by car, but treat it as a bonus rather than a sure thing: with an 11 p.m. closing, the drive, the first attraction’s duration, and any last-entry cutoff could make it too tight. Check its final admission time before setting out, and don’t assume closing time means you can still enter.

Drive to Waterford

If you skip Saginaw, allow roughly 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours to drive from Bay City to Tay and Kam’s house in Waterford; add about 25–30 minutes for the Saginaw detour, plus any time spent inside Factory of the Dead. Check live traffic before leaving, especially around the I-75 route, and plan a quick rest stop if the late-night drive catches up with you.

Early dinner

Start from Tay and Kam’s house in Waterford and head to Bigalora Wood Fired Cucina in Madison Heights for an early dinner. Allow about an hour and roughly $20–35 per person; check current hours and consider reserving if you’re aiming for an early-evening table.

Evening scares

Drive to Azra Chamber of Horrors at 31401 John R Rd for a start around 7–8 p.m., depending on what works for your group. Allow 1½–2 hours including the queue. The ticket prices you noted were $43 regular or $57 for a fast pass; confirm current prices and entry availability before booking.

From Azra, it’s about an 18-minute drive to Erebus at 18 S Perry St in downtown Pontiac. Save it for last and allow another 1½–2 hours for the attraction and queue. Check current ticket prices and entry details in advance.

Back to Waterford

After Erebus, drive back to Tay and Kam’s house in Waterford; allow roughly 20–30 minutes, depending on traffic. Check parking arrangements before you head out.
