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.
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!!
