Shakopee, MN (September 7, 2022) – Valleyfair is thrilled to announce the exciting debut of an all-new, immersive, family-friendly Halloween event, Tricks and Treats, perfect for guests of all ages who want to celebrate the fall season without the intense scares. The new event invites guests to enter a world of autumnal fun with a trick-or-treat trail, Halloween-themed games and activities, special live entertainment, along with scrumptious fall-inspired foods, sweets, and drinks. Tricks and Treats will take place Fridays through Sundays, September 30 – through October 30.
Guests will be immediately immersed in the Halloween fun as they enter the park with a choice of four themed lands. The Midway Stage sits adorned with a giant pumpkin as the event’s centerpiece of all festivities. During the day, it is a picturesque family backdrop perfect for capturing fall-inspired memories. As the evening approaches, guests will be dazzled as the large festive Jack o’ Lantern awakens with a fiery light, taking on a soft uncanny glow.
From there, guests may choose their path by embarking on the festive Lands of Treats or one of the mischievous Lands of Tricks, each with its own mystery and fun in store. The Lands of Treats is made up of Everfall and Sweet Tooth Acres, both rich with joyful memories of bonfires, Halloween sweets and cozy fall feels. Guests will enter an autumnal fall festival, and sugar-spun candy farm decor displayed everywhere imaginable. For those looking for more mischievous fun, the Lands of Tricks offers Spooky Spires and Ickyville. These playful areas will have guests drawn to a splat-tastic monster party and an eerie classical speakeasy populated by gothic surprises.
“We are excited to bring this brand-new, over-the-top Halloween experience to people of all ages,” stated Valleyfair General Manager Raul Rehnborg. “Each of the four worlds we are creating for you—a wonder-inspiring candy land, a pumpkin-spiced, cozy autumnal land, a gothic, darkly delicious land, and an oozy, gooey land—offers something about this Halloween time of year for everyone to love. Bring your little kids, your teens, the grandparents, and yourselves and make new, unforgettable memories together!”
Halloween is for everyone at Valleyfair’s Tricks and Treats event, which runs Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from September 30 through October 30 and is included with regular park admission. Hours for Fridays are from 5:00 – 10:00 p.m., Saturdays are from 12 p.m. – 9 p.m., and Sundays from 12 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. The park’s popular rides and attractions will also be open for thrill seekers to enjoy.
