Make time for these

Saginaw Escape is run by the team behind Factory of the Dead, Saginaw's largest haunted attraction, inside the 906 Lapeer entertainment complex in the MODART Building. Three of the four rooms lean horror: The Killer's Promise (2017) puts you in a serial killer's twisted game with a live actor, Bad Moon Rising takes you to a cursed cabin, and N-Virus locks you inside a government lab. Bunker 906, added in 2024, is a no-scare military mission to stop a missile launch. The building also has a black-light GellyBall arena, a shooting gallery, axe throwing, MODART ghost tours and, in season, the haunted house.
