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.

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.

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.

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.
