As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to fall, ValleyScare and Tricks and Treats creep closer each day...Before the festivities awaken, here’s everything you need to know about what’s new, what’s changing and how to make the most of your visit this fall!

What to know about ValleyScare

When is ValleyScare?

  • Select nights, September 20 – November 1, 2025
  • See our calendar for specific dates and times

What’s included in ValleyScare?

  • Scare Zones: With a wicked makeover, Valleyfair has transformed into a land full of suspense! Our scare zones are back and ready to rattle your bones. Enjoy four different Scare Zones, including the NEW! Hemlock’s Coven!
  • Haunted Mazes: Journey your way through our most terrifying mazes! With a range of five indoor and outdoor mazes, every turn brings new terrors. 
  • Live Shows: When you’re not running for your lives, enjoy an upbeat breather at our spook-tacular Halloween-themed shows. From fire jugglers to haunting songs, you’re sure to be bewitched by our performers.
  • Night Rides: There’s nothing like feeling the crisp autumn air under the moon! Dare to ride in the dark where the roars are louder and the twists hit harder! You can find our full list of rides that are scheduled to be open on our ValleyScare website (subject to change).

No Boo Necklace

  • Valleyfair offers a ‘No Boo’ necklace which gives you scare immunity from the monsters lurking inside ValleyScare. Wearing this necklace significantly reduces the likelihood of being scared by monsters in scare zones. No Boo necklaces are not valid in the mazes and cannot guarantee a scare-free night. You can purchase it ahead of time on our webstore (just click on Buy Now on any ticket link, and hover over the ValleyScare tab) or the day of your visit.

ValleyScare Fright Guide

  • Valleyfair will have lots of in-park signage to help you find what you are looking for and of course, you can always ask a friendly associate. You can also download our Fright Guide, but your best bet is to download our app which will give you directions to the attraction of choice, show times and show you wait times for rides!

What to know about Tricks and Treats

Tricks and Treats at Valleyfair

When is Tricks and Treats?

  • Saturdays and Sundays, September 27 – November 1, 2025
  • See our calendar for specific dates and times

What’s included with Tricks and Treats?

  • Halloween activities and games: Little spooksters can enjoy the day with various Halloween activities and games! Choose a trick like daring your fate with our Bean Boozled challenge or have a treat listening to the stories from our very own talking pumpkin, Patch! 
  • Live Shows: Our frightfully fun shows are sure to get your BOO-gie on! Kids, adults, and families can experience The Spectral Sisters or The Candy Horns. Hit the dance floor and let’s see how good your Monster-Mash is!
  • Rides: Hold on tight for an unbe-leaf-able amount of fun! Experience the autumnal changes of Planet Snoopy with our family friendly rides. Valleyfair rides will operate normally during our daytime hours (subject to change).
