WHY VISIT SCREAMTOWN?

Scream Town is one of the best Haunted Attractions in the Twin Cities. At $25-$35 (general admission), it is quite possibly the best value around. We think about YOU and your enjoyment before we think about our profit. Our attractions are built with quality and the best possible scares in mind. Our location is unbelievable! We didn’t end up here by accident. Scream Town is located just perfectly outside the suburb atmosphere and FEELS like you are in the middle of nowhere. Just the drive onto the property is eerie. We hire actors that are crazy about Halloween and scaring the pants off people. We work year round to make this event something guests will talk about for years.  We love what we do and hope you’ll join us.

DOES SCREAM TOWN HAVE A HAYRIDE?

No. But our sister event, The Abandoned Hayride, is right next door!  Click here for details. You will be given the option to add this ticket to your cart online at ScreamTown.

WHAT IS YOUR RATING FOR KIDS? WILL THERE BE "LANGUAGE"?

This event is in the business of scaring you as well as entertaining you. To be scared, could frequently be described as being uncomfortable, on edge, worried, intimidated, nervous, or even panic stricken. People are scared or not scared in a variety of ways.  One person might find clowns not scary at all, but balloons terrifying, while another person having no fear of heights, yet mortified when whispered to.  Others guests find it entertaining, funny, or scary when monsters say, marry me, kiss me, or can I pet you and others do not. Please be forewarned that actors and staff may use techniques, actions, or particular verbal phrases that are PG13, that may make one person laugh and another person very uncomfortable or what would be described as scared.  Different techniques affect different people in different ways and may strike cords with people and their past personal history. The goal, however, is still the same and is to create an emotion of fear. Please also be aware that these actors use the same phrases and techniques on ALL guests, and are not specific to you as an individual.  While an action or phrase may strike an emotional cord specific to your sex, gender, family history, or ethnicity, that is not their intent, and in many instances due to bunched up guests and darkness, actors are not even certain as to whom they may be speaking to.  Please know our overall goal is fun, to take you out of your element, to give you an experience, and to increase your heart rate.  We don’t want to offend anyone, and apologize in advance if this is an occurrence that happens to you. Our customer service team is always on site and available for any feedback, but please take these considerations to heart.

WHAT DOES TIMED TICKETING MEAN?

Due to selling out nightly and limited capacity, along with our desire to provide you with the best experience and short wait times, we require everyone to attend on a set day and time. Please be sure that your entire party has the same time and day on their tickets or you will not be together.

WHAT DAY SHOULD I VISIT?

IS SCREAMTOWN HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE?

Due to the nature of our event (cornfield, farm land, woods, etc) Scream Town is NOT handicap accessible.

WHY DOES SCREAM TOWN HAVE THE #1 ATMOSPHERE OF ANY TWIN CITIES HAUNTED ATTRACTION?

One of the greatest aspects of Scream Town is that we have a permanent location. Scream Town is secluded just outside the lights of the city in a remote corn field surrounded by an incredible 200 year old FOREST. These trees are not your ordinary trees! They actually look like they are reaching out to grab you. One look at them will send shivers down your spine. This Forest is thick and dense with places guests could easily get lost. There are no sounds from a major highway, and no lights from the city. If it is one compliment we get, it is “This atmosphere is amazing”.

HOW BIG ARE SCREAM TOWNS ATTRACTIONS?

Each of Scream Town’s 7 Attractions are HUGE.
Don’t be fooled by others who offer 20 Attractions. We DON’T count our caricature artist as an attraction, nor do we count our bathrooms, ticket booth, heated tent, or any other non sense as an attraction. Several haunted houses in town have attractions that if added together would fit in one of our attractions with room to spare. At just $30 you are paying $4 per HAUNTED attraction! With discounts it is even less!

IS SCREAM TOWN REALLY SCARY?

Scream Town is family friendly yet still EXTREMELY Scary. Scream Town conducts a hard target search all over the Twin Cities for actors that are Halloween nuts. We bring in actors of all types with varying skills. Our actors don’t consider this a job. Most would come without being paid, even though they are. They come every night because they love scaring the heck out of our guests. Our actors are also on staff EVERY night. Some local attractions may say they have 50 actors, but may only have that many on nights they feel will be busy. ALL of Scream Town’s 90 plus actors are ready and waiting EVERY night of our operation.

It should also be noted that while Scream Town is only RECOMMENDED for ages 10 and older, we are still a terrific family event. We are family friendly, we try our best not to sell tickets to anyone who may be intoxicated, we have police on site, and the park is clean. Several other local attractions actually serve alcohol at their event which can create a lot of unpleasantness even if you’re someone that likes to have a drink. Other groups around you may be so out of control that it ruins your experience.

WILL THIS REALLY BE WORTH THE VISIT?

At Scream Town, the owner, the actors, the technicians, the ticket booth, and even the police, want you to have an incredible experience. If you leave for any reason unhappy, we are not happy. We have a passion for what we do. Our staff is itching over the winter to get back to work building, coming up with new ideas, and making sure you have a blast. We go to conventions, work shops, and specialty stores to come up with new and exciting ways to scare and entertain you. We don’t want you to visit us just once, we want you, your family and friends, to make Scream Town a tradition for years to come.

DO YOU SERVE ALCOHOL?

Yes, we offer beer and wine.
