There are a few areas where you can sit and relax and not be bothered or scared, but very few. The eating areas seem to be somewhat free of scarers, and some of the inside shows. I think elvira show and the magician show. But to get to them you need to walk though scare zones. There was also a saloon in calico square that had music playing and free popcorn. You could see the side of the stage where they have the hanging. It was nice and warm inside there as well. And it was scare free. Look on line and check out the map. They also have the show times. You could find what shows you want to check out and what zones to avoid. Hope this helps.
