A Nightscare Before Christmas: Haunted House in Mesa, AZ

Super fantastic time! We'll be back next year!

Went on Halloween night in the rain and it was honestly the best call. The weather scared off a lot of the crowd so the lines moved fast, we got in early and made it through most of it in about an hour and a half, which never happens on Halloween. Actors were still going all out, the ICU haunt was our favorite. Heads up it is fully outdoors, dirt and gravel, so with rain you will get muddy. Wear closed-toe shoes you don't care about. Rain or not, we'll be back next year.

Oh my god! I can’t thank the team of scare actors and everyone who put this together enough. I haven’t been to a haunted house since I was 13, I am 24 now and I was so satisfied and truly scared. Startled Darkness was absolutely terrifying, it was raining heavily tonight but it was easy to keep my footing in the dark. Take all warnings about uneven ground seriously because you can trip and hurt yourself haha. That’s why taking it slow is so vital. Just know if it rains on the night you go, it will be wet for all 3 attractions. In my opinion, the rain made the experience even scarier and more intense. The only warning I’d give is, it truly is completely pitch black in the maze, I ran into the wall 4 times trying to find my way out. Again I absolutely loved this and found it to add to the terror of being lost and scared. I did not get hurt when I hit my face into the wall but that might be different for others lol. Absolutely NO RUNNING in any of these attractions but seriously do not go faster than a slight shuffle if you wanna avoid chest bumping the wall. The other two haunts were SO SO SO SO GOOD. Personally my favorite was Mayhem in Madness. It was so immersive and the scare actors got right into my personal space and it was fantastic. Haunted ICU was excellent and creepy, I loved the haunt workers energy and how they stay in character to really scare you. I loved being chased by the scare actors and screaming my head off was the best way to spent Halloween Eve. Honestly it’s shocking there’s bad reviews for this haunt, I think people are acting tough and refuse to actually be scared and have fun. You can tell how much effort was put into all 3 haunts. I will absolutely be making this haunt something I do yearly. You have made a new customer out of me. Seriously, anything negative said about this place is coming from a place of entitlement. Negative reviewers are under the assumption that haunts have to be like McKamey Manor to be any good. You will not regret getting tickets to this haunt if you truly appreciate the art of haunted houses. Much love, you gave my family and I a wonderful night. I’m more than happy to support this haunt.

Really fun had a great time and loved every haunted house would go back again for sure and had the best scares and really clean but dark porta potties

It’s smaller than fear farm but the quality makes up for it. The haunted houses are scarier than fear farm. Also cheaper. 5/5

This place has the best customer service ive seen in a very long time. I made a mistake they corrected it immediately and came up with a solution. I couldn't be happier and tomorrow night im not take my whole girl's soccer team! Can only imagine the product with true customer service like I just experienced.

Daughter and I interacted with the workers. They did an awesome job and played good music

I hadn't gone since 2024 and didn't have super high hopes. Last time I went, it was fun enough but it seemed very low-budget and basic. Not sure what changed while I was out of the state but I took my son last night and I was FLOORED at how much better it was! They've obviously invested a ton of money & effort into this place and it was awesome! Still spent a big chunk of time just stumbling along through pitch-black hallways, but there was so much more to it this year. Tons of actors in really good makeup & costumes, lots of high-end props & animatronics, and perfectly executed jump scares around every corner! I recommend getting the fast pass - which again feels weird because the last few years I went, there weren't many people and really no lines. This time, it was PACKED, and the fast passes saved us probably well over an hour of standing in line. This place went from the Temu option to the very top and I will be going again for sure!

Much better than last year! Quality work in props and some really great actors who put in the effort to actually scare! Love to see it still alive in lieu of all animatronics — Haunted ICU was my favorite coming from the healthcare industry. Also, kudos to the timer and grouping. Allowed for reset and not running into other groups to ruin the experience!

LOVED IT! 👻🎃 I went last night for the first time since 2009, back when I was a freshman in high school. I’m 31 now, and I honestly don’t know why I didn’t prioritize coming back sooner because I remember having SUCH an amazing time (and being SO scared)! First, the customer service is incredible! I accidentally booked tickets for the wrong day and was texting with Brian from customer service, who was quick to respond and made rescheduling super easy. I genuinely appreciated how helpful he was! We also purchased Fast Lane tickets, which were absolutely worth the money and helped us get through the lines much faster. My husband and I had an absolute BLAST! The scare actors were incredible, with awesome makeup, great energy, and amazing commitment to their roles. The whole setup was fantastic, and the wait times weren’t bad at all. We even recognized the owner standing outside a house observing the lines and staff, seemingly to make sure everything was running smoothly. It was great to see that level of involvement and attention to the overall experience! I also saw they’re doing a Christmas-themed event in a few weeks, and I’ve already told my sister and brother-in-law they’re coming with us! I’m so excited to go back! 10/10 experience. Between the customer service, the scare actors, and the overall atmosphere, Scarizona absolutely delivers. Can’t wait to come back!

This is our neighborhood haunt we visit every year! It has a really welcoming, laid back atmosphere with wonderful, interactive actors and fabulous haunted houses and props. It's a great place to visit on Halloween if you need last minute plans. You can buy tickets right at the gate. Go early to avoid the lines. 10 stars every time!

Cool place. Good jump scares. Make up was creative.

Great this year! Wow ❤️❤️

Amazing experience from the parking lot until the very end. Staff are top notch and they give the authentic haunted house vibe. Each house is different and genuinely frightening. This operation is very well ran and thought out on every single detail to give their customers a genuine fright to bring home. My favorite part was all of the staff and how amazing they looked and acted the part. I also appreciate the reasonable prices of the concessions and the entire experience. I recommend and will definitely come again. This venue is definitely worth checking out!!

My family had a blast!!!

Super fun great houses!!! Worth the money!!

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

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!

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.
