Scarefest Scream Park, a 50-acre family-owned Halloween park in Lenox Township, Michigan, is marking its 20th anniversary season. Founded in 2006, the park has become a cornerstone of Michigan's autumn landscape, employing hundreds of local residents and supporting local charities, according to a press release.
This milestone season features the park's signature blend of fear and fun. Beyond its attractions, guests enjoy nightly stage entertainment, Halloween movies, roaming ghouls, photo ops, bonfires, and a heated bar tent, all while their phones wait in line for them with the park's virtual queue system. The park's four main attractions, collectively known as the Four Pillars of Fear, offer experiences ranging from family-friendly to intense thrills.
The Castle of the Dead is an 8,000-square-foot haunted house where guests face terrors lurking just beyond the doors. The Hayride of Doom is a family-friendly, narrated ride following a researcher and his AI assistant as they navigate the aftermath of a viral outbreak. The Forest of Darkness is a haunted walk along the Salt River, through woods alongside specters of death. The Terror Zone Maze is a thrilling dark maze packed with twists, strobes, 3D effects, and terror at every dead end.
Before the official October season, Scarefest is hosting two exclusive September special events catered toward adults 21+.
