Fort Concho After Dark

Fort Concho: 630 S Oakes St

8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Ready to see what bumps in the night?!

Join us Friday, October 9, or Saturday, October 10, from 8 - 10 PM for an evening of Fort Concho history, mystery, and paranormal investigations with Shadow Path Paranormall!

Same as last year, you’re free to explore at your own pace, with no assigned tour groups. Bring your voice recorders, EMF detectors, or camcorders and see what you discover!

**There are no planned jump scares—but we can’t speak for anything else. Admission is $12 per person, or $10 for Fort Concho members (with a membership card).

Children ages 7 - 17 are $10 with a paid general admission ticket, and children 6 and under are free. All children and teens must be accompanied by an adult—no exceptions.

Our Barracks 1 doors will open at 7:30 PM for ticket purchases and restroom breaks (or even gift shop sales 😉).

However, we recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time to avoid long lines the night of!

Tickets will also be sold at the door, with cash and credit cards accepted.

Just a heads up, tickets cannot be held without payment.

For those that have purchased tickets ahead of time, please bring your tickets with you! They are required for admission.

Although all activities end at 10 PM, we would advise arriving early enough to enjoy the evening. A 9:30 PM arrival leaves just 30 minutes to explore. Our volunteers will mentally shut down at 10 PM. No refunds will be issued.

Since we live in West Texas (some say Central Texas? 🤷‍♀️) check the forecast! It can be unpredictable! Dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes for uneven terrain. Bring a flashlight or use your phone’s light to safely cross the Parade Ground. Rain or snow won’t stop the evening, but nearby lightning may interrupt activities.

Ready to see what happens at the fort after dark?

The only way to purchase tickets is in the office: 630 S. Oakes a few days before the event or the night of.

Give us a call at 325-657-4444 if you have any questions.

Do not get scammed! We will not honor copies or photos of tickets and no refunds if you purchased tickets from scammers.
