Three Haunts, One Price
Open to the Public for the First Time
What was once a restricted, behind-the-scenes part of the show opens to the public for 2026. Clowns, blood, gore, strobes, and smoke wait for anyone willing to take the risk. Not recommended for children under 10.
Mayhem in Madness clown haunted house
You Cannot See in the Dark, But the Dark Can See You
Extreme darkness, confined spaces, and startle scares from every angle. If you do not like things jumping out at you or close encounters you never see coming, walk the other two and let this one go.
Startled Darkness dark haunted house
Admission Is Easy. Escaping Alive May Not Be.
They say he was a doctor, but what he really did was experiment. In the ruins of a forgotten ICU, deranged staff roam the halls and the dead refuse to stay dead.
Dr. Death's haunted hospitalBy the Numbers
Best haunted house I’ve been to in years. The fast pass is definitely worth it. Will be going back if I’m in Arizona again during October. Outstanding job!

Fun and Scary
One of the best haunted houses I’ve been to since scream park. They only let your group in instead of overcrowding strangers. Special effects were awesome. Scares were 10/10. Great place.
Had a Blast this place was great!
Omg we had a blast stayed scared and laughed as well definitely worth it !!!!
Had a terrified time.
It was a great community and the actors are very good at not touching anyone. It was the best experience my first time going :))
My family and I went last night 10/16/26. We had a blast, props were great, actors played their parts well, lines weren't to bad (we arrived for the earliest entry) 'The Side Show Boys' were there. They scared my teen daughter and her friend out of the venue before they ever had a chance to enter a single haunted house.🤣 The teen girls waited in the car until the rest of the family was done. I wasted my money on two tickets, but that was not do to Scarizona, that was do to the girls being scared little chickens 🤣 Over all, we had a great time. We can't wait to attended 'The Night Scare Before Christmas' in December. Thank you, Scarizona.
Amazing! Scare actors actually engage with you and the houses are well put together, I enjoyed every house they offered and the staff were really nice!!
If you want a fun scare this is the place to go! From the moment you turn in, the scary adventure starts! The staff really goes out of their way to make it fun and scary. Must go!!
First time visiting with my boyfriend we are from out of state. This by far was the best haunted house/attraction we have ever been to. We will be back.
i had an amazing experience and i was screaming a bunch!
It was an awesome time and lots of scares! Definitely feel like I got my money's worth!! I go to these attractions with the intention to be scared and I feel they did an awesome job at making me jump and scream!
it was soo much fun! i came here with a bunch of my friends and it was something i wont forget, 100% recommend!!
It was very fun and scary
Had a great time here, best haunted house in Arizona! Plenty of scare actors and attractions making it such a fun experience
Spooky, scary and fun. Tons of actors with weapons to frighten you.
Different houses with decent characters.
Scarizona is such a hidden gem of a haunt and everyone needs to know about it! My husband and I went there for the first time last night and this place blows everyone out of the water! The actors are phenomenal at doing their job, to be scary! The staff was all great and very informative. We can not say enough about this place and can not wait to come back year after year. One of the best parts about this place, they send you through the mazes with just your group! If I could give Scarizona 100 stars, I would. Keep being scary and Happy Halloween!!
Such a great experience! Staff is friendly and fun. Perfect amount of scary for kids 8/9 up. Perfect for teenagers to go with friends, bday party, date nights.
It was creative and scary good family outing
This is the BEST Haunted Attraction, that I've been to here in Arizona! The houses were very well put together and provided lots of jump scares, and the actors did an outstanding job at providing entertainment and scares, they actually seemed to enjoy their job, unlike other haunted attractions in Arizona where the actors just go through the motion and have no enthusiasm. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Scarizona Scaregrounds and will be back next year. AWESOME JOB Scarizona!
Three haunted houses, each one different from the others. The characters all different and the scare level was just right. I come every year with my friends.
It was great I had the best time and it was great group date place
My wife and I went here for the 1st time. We have gone to 13th floor and fear farm. Scarizona by far is the best ! The others felt like a waste of money. We highly recommend coming here
SO MUCH FUN!!!!! They did an amazing job and actually put effort into it. Best haunted houses in AZ!!!!! Beats all the others by farrr. Get there early and there's no lines too. Didn't want it to end!!! I'm hard to scare, and i literally screamed continously in every haunt. WELL DONE SCARIZONA!!!! WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR!!!!! 10 STARS
Soooo much fun. So worth the money. So glad we went. Three super fun attractions and we were screaming our heads off. Wish it was a bit more lively outside the haunted houses. But it was opening night so maybe October is more lively!
The ICU attraction this season was great
1st my teens had a great time and enjoyed the scare but I wanted to share how amazing the staff was. My wife is a newly amputee and some of the houses had some challenging spots for her to walk. All the staff were so quick to warn her when she needed to watch her step. One awesome guy walked in front of her and made sure she knew what to expect with the floor. I can't thank you all enough.
It was a fun bit of scares and Halloween during g Christmas time. The dark scare is very, VERY dark. And the medical one has real medical gear and some great costumes. They even send cast out into the parking lot to scare people sitting in their cars, which really set the mood! After a lackluster Halloween haunted house experience, this was a welcome step up. P.s. where you exit has a "Do Not Enter" sign posted that you just ignore.
This is the absolute BEST set of houses in the Valley! The house design was impeccable, the actors were really awesome and extremely professional. If you like a good, genuine scare, you have to come here. It’s worth every minute and dollar you’d spend. 10/10 would recommend!
The halloween haunt is 🔥. The Christmas haunt is 🔥. Don't sleep on scarizona! They are miles ahead of fear farm!!
Scarizona Scaregrounds did not disappoint! Took a large group of friends and had a great time! Entrance, parking, and ticketing was effective, quick, and painless. Had a great open space with concessions available to mingle with friends while also getting snuck up on my actors! Double face Olaf was the absolute best! The 3 haunted houses were great scares, especially the new ICU - The set up was creepy and actors were really into their roles. Special shoutout to the creepy doll room too! Overall, can’t wait for next year! Thanks Scarizona!
Mayhem in the madness was by far the best haunted house I’ve ever been to. 10/10. There were scares around every corner. They gave us a story to carry throughout. It was fantastic. Will be back next year. Loved the other haunts as well. Very detailed. Scare actors were on point. Especially for a black out event.
This haunted house is far superior to Fear Farm! They have a great selection of attractions at reasonable prices, and the actors perform exceptionally well. The best part is the pacing of the crowd, which allows the actors to rest between performances. The way we entered the house really enhanced our overall experience. Thank you!
This haunted house is way best then fear farm! They have a good selection and good prices and the actors do a good job. The best thing is the pace the crowd so it gives the actors time to reset. Pacing the entry of us entering really let us get the full experience. Thank you!
This was so much fun and scary! 3 different houses all creepy and scary in a different way. We went with a big group and screamed the whole time. The actors were awesome, the sets were creepy, and we had such a great night. Definitely recommend if you love a good scare.
First time coming here had a blast want to go back enjoyed ourselves! It was so much fun 10/10 would definitely go again.
Had a great time with my family. The characters were interactive. There are two haunted houses but worth the time.
To my haunted house-loving friends, this was the coolest, most impressive haunted house experience I've ever enjoyed! They really went above and beyond, the actors were great! The setups impressive, the haunts wandering through the lines were so fun.
Scarier than Fear Farm! Will attend every year for sure! I have a few people in mind for dark room challenge!!!! So much fun!!!
Seriously everything there is creepy spooky scary and freaking intense - I saw a grown man crying!!
It was worth every penny … The actors need special mention. It was an act of passion they have for scaring people and they do it with finesse. Loved their makeup and costume.
Completely different than other haunts I visited … full of enthusiastic actors, magnificent sets, and never before seen scares. Super fun and scary!!

Three Haunts, One Night
Choose from a limited run of October nights, plus A Nightscare Before Christmas and the lights-out Blackout Night finale, one glowstick and one way out. Some dates sell out before the gates ever open.
General Admission covers all three haunts on one price. Add a Fast Pass online to cut the line on the busy nights and see everything in one visit.
Show up in your timed-entry window in closed-toe shoes, keep your ticket ready, and step from the desert dark into the first corridor of the production.
Getting Here
Scarizona takes over the Thompson Event Center at 1901 N. Alma School Road, Mesa, AZ 85201, close to where the Loop 101 meets the Loop 202. That puts the gates a 20 to 30 minute drive from central Phoenix and closer still from Tempe, Gilbert and Chandler. Parking is free, and the first check-in each open night is 6:45 PM.
Before you drive out, read what to know before you go on the Plan Your Visit page, check the haunted house FAQ for age guidance and refunds, then pick your night on the Scarizona tickets page. The season closes with the lights-out Blackout Night finale, and the horror comes back in December with A Nightscare Before Christmas.
Making a whole night of it? Our local guides cover the best haunted houses in Phoenix, things to do in Mesa, things to do in Phoenix, and things to do in Arizona this fall.
Know Before You Go
Four rules stand between you and a wasted ticket. Read them before you buy, because tickets are timed and nonrefundable.
See how special effects makeup turns actors into monsters at an award-winning Arizona haunt, from latex and airbrush to the faces built to scare in the dark.
Three Arizona properties with a reputation for real paranormal activity, told alongside the content creators who filmed them.
Thirteen documented sites from Tombstone to Flagstaff, with the real history behind each ghost and where the legend begins.
That is the point. Expect darkness, loud noises, flashing lights, fog, tight spaces, frightening characters, and scares you never see coming until they are already on you.
Scarizona is designed to be intense and may not be suitable for young children. Parents and guardians know their children best, but remember: once the scares begin, our monsters do not take babysitting breaks.
Closed-toe shoes with sturdy soles, laced tight. You will be crossing dirt, gravel, and uneven ground in the dark, moving faster than you planned. Leave the high heels, the flip-flops, the sandals, and anything that drags on the ground at home.
A little rain will not scare us away. Scarizona may remain open during light rain, but severe weather could cause delays or closures. Check the site and our socials before you drive out, because the desert decides the weather, and it does not announce.
Tickets are nonrefundable, including when a guest decides not to enter or leaves before completing an attraction. Getting scared is the whole reason you came, and the dark does not hand money back.
All three haunts on one price, free parking, and a finale in total blackout. Limited operating nights and timed entry, so claim your slot before the season closes for good.
