ABOUT DONATIONS & TICKETS
You may donate any amount. Tickets to Nightfall of $25 or $20 per person (with a food donation for your group) include access to the Nightfall Home-Haunt Attraction. Funds raised from tickets go to Washington's National Park Fund and a capped portion of operational costs -- 50% of proceeds and 100% of Profits gp tp WNPF. Nightfall does not profit. We encourage ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS at the Washington National Park Table, which will go directly to the organization to help raise further project funds, and help meet our fundraising goals for WNPF.
You may enter the attraction as often as you want per ticket night, but you must re-enter the queue.
Ticket donations are card/digital only. Make sure you intend to enter. There are no refunds.
Nightfall is community & neighborhood event for charity
WHY ARE YOU CHARGING FOR TICKETS THIS YEAR? This year, we will ask for a minimum donation as a ticket price and want to be transparent about why: Nightfall is still 100% a West Seattle community event for charity. Your support has been instrumental in making it a success. For almost ten years, Nightfall has been free, with an option to donate to one of our causes. In that time, we have raised almost 2 tons of food for the West Seattle Food Bank and nearly $20,000 for Washington’s National Park Fund. This year, we are introducing a ticket price to enhance our fundraising efforts for our charities and to ensure we can continue producing this event in the future. Ticket and monetary donations go to Washington’s National Park Fund and the operational cost of the attraction, split evenly up to a cap, and then 100% of the remainder goes to WNPF. Nightfall does not make a profit. We hope we can count on your continued support. Nightfall is a high-end, Disney-esc-Nightmare that is a fun, scary, fun-scary, family-friendly home haunt in West Seattle at our private residence. The team consists of only a tiny handful of dedicated and passionate people who put in roughly 400 hours of work every season. It takes six months of planning, designing, and building, and the tremendous cost of operating the event has grown exponentially every year. Your continued support has been the cornerstone of Nightfall’s success, turning it into a beloved West Seattle Halloween tradition. We are immensely grateful for the thousands of you who have made this event a success year after year. Your contributions have made a significant impact, and we couldn’t have done it without you. If you have further questions or if you have unique circumstances, please feel free to email us.


Nightfall Orphanage is a high-end neighborhood home-haunt for the local community that raises donations for community-based charities and is held at a private residence in a quiet area. All are welcome but please be respectful of the community and neighbors. Nightfall Orphanage may be too intense for some younger children (we recommend 10+, but have much younger kids love it). You know your child. Parental consideration is advised. Check the website again before attending as dates, times and information may change suddenly.

HAUNT SAFE
Nightfall is dedicated to providing an inclusive environment for all guests
READ BEFORE ATTENDING
Nightfall Orphanage appears at a private residence in a residential neighborhood and is intended for the local community. All are welcome but please be respectful. The area surrounding Nightfall has many narrow residential streets. Many of these have posted no parking, or are for resident parking only. STREETS MUST BE KEPT CLEAR for emergency vehicles and reasonable access. As such:
-
OBEY ALL parking and street signs.
-
DO NOT PARK in No Parking zones
-
DO NOT PARK in or in front of Resident Driveways (We can't believe this needs to be said)
-
Please try to park on LARGER MAIN STREETS, to help keep smaller residential streets clear.
-
If you drive a LARGE CAR OR TRUCK (e.g. F-150, Silverado, Large SUV, etc.) do not park on any of the narrow streets. Please park on one of the larger main streets such as Genesee and walk in. Maintain reasonable access at all times.
-
You will likely have to WALK A LITTLE WAY from where you park*. You will probably be eating too much candy anyway and could use a little extra exercise. At least I could.
-
Practice good community thinking and act as if this was your neighborhood and we will all have a good time.
IF YOU PARK IN SOMEONE’S DRIVEWAY OR BLOCK THE STREET YOU WILL BE TOWED AT YOUR EXPENSE AND THE EVENT WILL BE CLOSED FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING.
YOU WILL NOT BE BACK OUT QUICKLY ENOUGH THAT IT SHOULD BE FINE.
TOWING COMPANIES WILL BE IN THE AREA DURING THE EVENT BECAUSE THEY KNOW SOMEONE WILL BE STUPID.
We will totally post your picture on Instagram so that everyone knows you are a selfish person who ruined it for everyone else. Your family and friends will unfollow you lest they face their quiet shame.
Also, you don't want to see an angry Mr. Black.
If you are with someone with limited mobility, or have a large donation package, you may drop them off at the top of the driveway and bring them to the entrance or request help to do so. (see Guest Information below)
99% of our guests have been awesome, thoughtful, and practiced common sense & and community awareness. This is for the 1% that actually believe parking in someone's driveway or blocking an entire street by parking your car in the middle of it is acceptable behavior.
