Don't get left behind.

Review our event policies before you visit. Or else.

Haunted Mazes at Valleyfair

ValleyScare is the season’s top destination for terror, and there’s nothing more terrifying than our collection of premier, pay-to-panic Haunted Mazes. If you’re twisted (or fearless) enough to ignore the warnings, you can gain access to our collection of forbidden labyrinths with the purchase of a Haunted Attractions Pass.

Valleyfair’s Haunted Mazes are premium experiences that require separate admission and test every ounce of your courage. Buy a Haunted Attractions Pass now and unlock the creaking door to Haunted Mazes like Cryptid Land and Blood on the Boundary Waters.

Indoor & Outdoor Mazes

Scare Zones around Valleyfair

The dread isn’t confined to just Haunted Mazes during ValleyScare — Scare Zones are pockets of paralyzing fear scattered throughout the park. Costumed creatures prowl in the fog, and demented performers lurch from the shadows. With Scare Zones at Valleyfair, the fear is fluid.

These immersive, fright-filled experiences promise to keep you up at night, and the best part? They’re included with admission to Valleyfair for the entire event. Check out scare zones like Signal Zero this Halloween, and yes — screaming is encouraged.

Outdoor Scare Zones

Valleyfair's Halloween-Themed Shows

Valleyfair is filled with heart-pounding high energy during ValleyScare, but sometimes you need to unwind. Catch your breath and catch a Halloween-themed show like Hell On Wheels and Hide and Seek!

And if you’re not the sitting-down type? Don’t fret. Performers will shamble through the pathways and roam throughout the park for ValleyScare — that’s right, at Valleyfair, the entertainment finds you. Delight in our costumed crews’ acting as they spread a sinister spirit through the streets. 

With live entertainment like this (and more) at Valleyfair, you’ll realize that all the best scares come with a smile, too.

You’ll definitely want to grab a bite to eat before the night gets too late — it’s less fun to face terror on an empty stomach.

Before you’re done, don’t forget to commemorate your terrifying evening of thrills and scrumptious eats with collectible merch! After a pulse-pounding night of Haunted Mazes, high-flying night rides, live entertainment, and festival food, you’ll have memories and stories almost too incredible to believe. Prove the doubters wrong with limited-edition ValleyScare merchandise. You did brave brutal horrors and live to tell the tale, so why not wear the proof for all to see?
