What to Wear to Scarizona
What to wear to a haunted house matters more when the whole show is outdoors. Scarizona's gravel-lot grounds in Mesa call for closed-toe shoes, a layer for the desert cold, and a short list of things to leave in the car before you go.

The Short Answer
What to Wear, Before You Overthink It
Scarizona is a fully outdoor attraction on natural ground, not a climate-controlled building, so what you wear is part of planning your visit. Here is the checklist.
Shoes First
Closed-Toe Shoes, Sturdy Soles
No Exceptions at Two Attractions
See what waits behind each of the three haunts before you decide what else to wear.
The Ground and the Air
Dress for the Outdoor Gravel Lot
Scarizona Scaregrounds is an outdoor haunted attraction. You may encounter dirt, gravel, uneven ground, darkness, and other natural outdoor conditions between the haunts, so shoes and footing matter more here than at an indoor haunt. The desert is part of the show.
Layer up. The grounds stay open-air for the whole night, and the temperature drops once the sun is down and keeps dropping. A jacket or hoodie you can tie around your waist once the line gets moving costs you nothing to bring and a lot to be without.
A little rain will not close the gates. Scarizona may remain open during light rain, but severe weather could cause delays or closures, so check the site and Scarizona's socials before you drive out. Tickets are timed entry and nonrefundable, including if you decide not to enter, so dress for the night you are walking into rather than the one you hoped for.
Outdoor Essentials
What to Leave in the Car
Carry as little as possible. Your ticket on your phone covers the entry, closed-toe shoes cover the ground, and a layer covers the cold. Everything else stays in the vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear to Scarizona?
Dress for an outdoor night. Closed-toe shoes with sturdy soles are strongly recommended, and Mayhem in Madness and Startled Darkness require them with no exceptions. Leave the high heels, flip-flops, sandals, and anything that drags on the ground at home, because the ground is natural outdoor terrain and you will be moving faster than you planned.
Is Scarizona completely outdoors?
Yes. Scarizona Scaregrounds is an outdoor haunted attraction. You may encounter dirt, gravel, uneven ground, darkness, and other natural outdoor conditions. The desert is part of the show, and so is whatever you hear moving across it.
What happens if it rains?
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.
Can I bring a bag inside?
Large bags, backpacks, and oversized purses should be left at home or secured in your vehicle. Any permitted bag may be subject to inspection before entry.
Are costumes or masks allowed?
Costumes, costume masks, face coverings that conceal your identity, and realistic weapons are not permitted. Leave the scaring to our professional monsters.
